GETTING THROUGH THE MAZE

GETTING THROUGH THE MAZE
No matter the labyrinth of troubles, God is there, guiding one through the mazes of life. His mighty Spirit helps to bear the exhausting weight, making the load lighter. What a relief this should bring while conversing to God, thanking Him for being there amongst the storm, no matter how turbulent it gets.

WHAT MAKES THE BEAT

Our heart does not beat alone, as God’s heart also beats within us, His Spirit always there. Joining the pulse of life is faith itself, the heart of our existence. The sensation of feeling blessed never goes away, always being thankful for the beautiful moments to enjoy among God’s glory.

THE CONSCIENCE AND A HEALTHY LIFE

Filling the conscience with good thoughts instead of what is cumbersome is much less stressful on one. It is a way to nurture the mind, part of God’s Spirit working within each of us. Once nourished, all of the body is empowered. A new strength is felt, God’s wisdom taking over any negativity, ready to move on to a healthy life.

LISTEN, CONVERSE

LISTEN,CONVERSE
While teaching a child recently about God, she would often express, “Really? I didn’t know that!” She was darling, black braids falling in front of her shoulders, grinning big, a front tooth missing in her smile. Seated at first, she was soon standing beside me, anxious to share with me how to apply what she learned to something today. Just as the Lord planned, we learned from one another. Teach, converse, listen, converse. What a way for our faith to grow!

FADING DREAMS

When you can get everything you want, there is nothing left for dreams. If there is nothing left for dreams, prayers begin to fade. Once they fade, so does the image of God. I would rather hold onto my dreams.

JOY AMONG SORROW

Through the turmoil, having humor can bring such a breath of fresh air. A new friend can bring just the laughter needed, as well as a relative or a friend of many years. It might even be the action of a loved one, now passed, that brings the joy among the sorrow. As always, it is God, bringing his lightness among the darkness, never ceasing to show us how opposing forces work as one.

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.
