Burdened?

I think it would be selfish on my part, not to share with the
world…after such a marvelous retreat! I thank God for all that He has
done..and going to do!

Burdened?

It doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure out that with today’s hectic
lifestyles, it’s easy to allow satan to bombard us with heavy burdens. If we
took the time to slow down, and…”Be still and know that I am God.”(Ps.
46:10),and remember..(Matt. 11:28-30) “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of
you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the
burden I give you is light.” How AWESOME is this? He wants to make our
burdens light, if we will come to Him.Continue reading “Burdened?”

Clean Sheet Day

“It’s clean sheet day,” echoes my Mom from my memory banks. My Mom would
carefully hang the sheets one by one on the clothesline located close by
our rural white, shingled farmhouse. The post, which held the lines
looked, liked a row of white crosses holding up their prized possessions.
Mom especially loved the wind to blow at the same time as the sheets were
being hung as the wind would soften and unwrinkled the sheets. The sun
would kiss the sheets baking in its rays until a sweet fragrance emanated,
which was deliciously savored by the person resting from their day’s
journey.

I am reminded that in my own spiritual life that it is a joy to have a
clean sheet day. With all the talk about aromatherapy, this kind is the
most desirous. Once we have taken all our sins to God, holding nothing
back, God washes them all away. Just like sheets, theContinue reading “Clean Sheet Day”

Light another’s Candle

Mathew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

This passage of scriptures seems to challenge my whole being. My Light to shine so others can see my good works and from my good works glorify my heavenly Father.

OK, what good works have I accomplished today that someone said WOW, God is so amazing and I just want to stand and sing praises unto His name. He is so good because of something you just did that I want to accept Him as my Lord and Savior. He is so good from your good works that I want to serve Him on the mission field. He is so good in your works that I want to go into ministry and make that my life’s calling. Whatever!!!!!

Most of us when someone makes a comment about something nice we have just done will say something so odd it hurts. For instance, you may say? You are so good Continue reading “Light another’s Candle”
