Happy Wednesday!
The final paper for Religion and Immigration has been sent
to the professor. This semester is put to bed!!
Mother’s Day Shopping has been done. A gift for my niece
who is graduating with her Master’s Degree on Friday - purchased, and in record
time I might add, and I am down to only needing one last spool of wide navy
blue ribbon for the sashes for the chair cushions.
In case any of you are FB friends with me I am working
through the recipes on my FB page. Tonight I made the Cheeseburger Pie and the
No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies.
Totally delicious!
Prayer: Lord of
all Creation, protection and strength, I give you thanks that we can worship
you who made heaven and earth, sea and sky. Thank You for the family that
raised me and the family You gave me to raise. Lord, You have guided us to
raise our children and give them roots. They have now grown their wings and
they are ready to fly. We turn them over to You once again. Help us not to
worry about them, but trust that You are with them. Thank You loving Lord. In
Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
“Then
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more
than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow
or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more
valuable you are that birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to
his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about
the rest?’
Luke
12: 22-26
Worrying is a choice we make. Worrying wastes mental and
emotional energy. Worry rents space in
our brains that should be used in other ways. How many nights sleep have we
lost because we thought about something at the wrong time and it keeps us awake? God would love it if we disciplined ourselves
to minimize our worry and maximize our worship. I don’t mean that we need to
daily find a worship service. I mean taking time when we worry to pray. In that
prayer, think about God, give thanks, praise God, make a request to God and
tell God how much we trust Him and how much we love Him. This is worship! (For
me, I usually sing!)
Take joy in the journey remembering that hope does not
disappoint. Wear comfortable shoes, pray with a heart filled with gratitude and
get some sleep. Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene.
I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I
feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I believe God.
