Busy

Busy.  Aren't we all!  I like those days/evenings when I can just sit in my chair and hold my cat and do nothing.  It seems like those days/evenings are getting fewer lately.  This time of year is so full of graduation/school/church /work things that there isn't time for nothing! This week there is something everynight but one!  I am sure I can find something to do or somewhere to go that night too.

A day might come when I can only do nothing.  Not sure I am ready for that.  At least not yet just would like a nothing evening once in awhile.

Are you busy or do you have nothing days/evenings?  One day maybe we can rest at Jesus feet!  I would like that nothing day/evening.

Uppers and Downers

I haven't felt much like writing this week.  So many things have happened.  I am a little down one minute and a little up the next.  We had two boys baptized this week.  This is an upper for sure.  Angels rejoicing along with us.  But then a young man died in a car accident.  That is a downer for his family and friends.  He is so missed.  Another upper is that the senior class of which the young man was a member gave all their Project Graduation money to his family! 

We have downers so to speak to help us grow.  If all we had were uppers we would take them for granted. And most of the time we do.

 We need to grow.  We need to accept and rejoice no matter what comes our way.  Jesus died for us.  That is the biggest upper!

Close to God

When do you feel closest to God?  Doug and I were talking about this this morning.  It is a question I would like to ask several people.  This  got me to thinking about it and you know my thinking is sometimes troubling to say the least!

As I sat there I thought about when I feel closest to God.  It is when I am high in the sky in an airplane and when I am out on the ocean on a ship.  My two favorite places to be. The reason is because I have no control and am able to turn everything over to God.  When at home I have my feet on the ground and can try to control everything.  Not good.  I should be able to turn everything over to God all the time.  Something I am going to work on.

When are you closest to God?

Praying for my son.

Several of my friends have posted about praying for 21 days for their sons.  You can join this group but I didn't.  However I think this is a great idea.  You see today is my youngest son's birthday.  I am very proud of my son and I do pray for him everyday.  Jeremy is married to a wonderful, caring and sharing woman, Sheila.  I love them both dearly.

My son is creative  and so is his wife.  He is a baker.  He bakes for people and dogs!  Yes for dogs.  She makes handcarved candles.  Beautiful creations.  But you know what, the creations God made when they (Jeremy and Sheila)were made are special.  I am so thankful for them.

So if you have a son or daughter pray for them for the next 21 days and every day after.  They are a blessing.
