"Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift.
Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him
in a deliberate act of worship." Oswald Chambers

 "Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you." Eileen Elias Freeman
...yes, angels come in all shapes and sizes. I met a few! It doesn't take a lot to change someone's day: a smile, a hug, a listening ear, a bunch of flowers picked on the way... Easter - chocolate eggs and easter bunnies, egg hunt in the park, family time, and... Wishing you a very blessed and meaningful Christmas!
"If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth."
Mitsugi Saotome lets give our life meaning today!... "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. "
Leo Buscaglia Let's turn a life around today!... Today at church we had a great teaching about taking a rest!... it got me thinking - it is one of the first concepts God taught his creation: He stepped back from His work, looked over everything He had made and said it was very good - and than He took a rest... ! Did God need to rest? I don't think so. But He set an example for us.
Watching animals, I think they got it! We humans struggle a bit more... Jesus took time out on a regular basis! Even - or because - there where so many needs to meet. He didn't burn out. He knew how to live a balanced life! We can learn from him - I love this verse of the bible, especially in 'the message' translation. It is from Matthew 11.28-30, and it is one of my favorites. I like to add his signature... Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly. Love, Jesus Today, I took a real rest... |
