AT THE AGE OF THREE

I remember what I was wearing at the age of three when I met my first friend, 54 years ago. Others have similar memories, of what they were wearing when. Now, it is time to remember what others were wearing as devastation hit, leaving them homeless, they themselves losing those they loved. We thank God for what we have, asking Him to give extra protection and grace to those having so much less.

BURNING SHOULDERS

While in prayer, asking God to help all teens and all the burdens they carry, my shoulders suddenly felt afire. I knew it was God telling me He was there, His Spirit helping me carry my concerns. I relaxed and smiled, my own shoulders now feeling lighter.

GOD'S HEARTBEAT

GOD’S HEARBEAT
Observing others that are dirty and homeless, filthy rich or just the regular ol’ guy next door, we remain as One Body. Let us heed how we are alike, sharing the same Spirit, holding God’s heartbeat within us. Pray that all be raised by Him, not only a few.

WANTING A RIDE

WANTING A RIDE
In my journal are memories of Brian, age three. Running over to me in the Church foyer, he jumped into my lap as I sat in my wheelchair, as if it was the most natural thing to do. He wanted a ride, and I was pleased grant his wish. Now, he is five, his sister three. We continue to visit Jesus on the cross every Sunday, and have learned that He is in the cloth, not in the clock, his first perception. We pray for Jesus, as well as pray to Him, something he taught me. We know that Jesus suffered, having 'ya yas.' Just this moment it occurred to me two children of innocence have never asked me why I am in a chair. They only love the “Ride of Jesus!”

REJOICING

REJOICING
As we waited for brunch to be served, we happily conversed. The waiter appeared at our table, saying , "Okay! I guess that will be it then!" I cheerfully told her our food hadn't even been served! Oh what a gasp she let out! It was served in less than a minute! The Easter Spirit is about rejoicing. We were rejoicing in spending time together as a family, the server must have silently rejoiced when we told her nicely we didn't get our order, and we certainly rejoiced at the reduced bill at the meal. We also rejoiced at the fine Church service before brunch, leaving us in high spirits, preparing us for the Easter season!

Tomorrow's Worries

We have pleasant memories of yesterday. Thinking of tomorrow will give us nice dreams. Living right now, however, is what God wants most. We cannot change the past, nor can we foresee the happenings of what the future unfolds. Trying to do so, we will overlook what is important to us at the here and now, something that cannot be re-lived . Let us focus on the Blessings given us to us daily, not being concerned about tomorrows worries.
