I’m about to tell you something you may find hard to believe. You don’t have to agree with me, but I’d like you to consider it with me.  Here it is.  If you were the only person on earth, the earth would look exactly the same. The Himalayas would still have their drama and the Caribbean its charm. The sun would still nestle behind the Rockies in the evenings and spray light on the desert in the mornings. If you were the sole pilgrim on this globe, God would not diminish its beauty one degree.

Because He did it all for you.  And He’s waiting for you to discover His gift, for your eyes to pop, your heart to stop. He’s waiting for the moment between the dropping of the jaw and the leap of the heart. 

For in that silence He whispers, I did it just for you.

Ephesians 4:32, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

Have a blessed day :)

Jesus came to serve

God’s cure for the common life includes a strong dose of servanthood. It’s a timely reminder. As you celebrate your unique design, be careful. Don’t so focus on what you love to do that you neglect what needs to be done.

A 3:00 AM diaper change fits in very few sweet spots. Visiting your sick neighbor might not come naturally to you. Still the sick need to be encouraged, and diapers need changing.

The world needs servants. People like Jesus who did not come to be served, but to serve. He chose remote Nazareth over the center-stage in Jerusalem, his dad’s carpentry shop over a marble-columned palace, and three decades of anonymity over a life of popularity.

He selected prayer over sleep, the wilderness over the Jordan, feisty apostles over obedient angels. I’d have gone with the angels, given the choice.

Not Jesus.  He picked the people. He came to serve! May we do the same.

Whatever we go through in this life....God is with us!

What a comfort to know we are never alone....thank you Holy Spirit!

We had a beautiful weekend! Saturday we went to watch Caitie perform Taiko at the Columbus International Festival at Vets Memorial. We ate our way through many nations :)

Later in the afternoon the Fulton babies came to Nana's to participate in Trick or Treat. We have a wonderful neighborhood and it was a beautiful evening for a walk in the tree lined roads!!

Yesterday after Church I met up with my baby sister and her family at Bob Evans to celebrate her sons 16th Birthday...Happy Birthday Wes!!!

Today we bowl.....or some such variation of it!

Be blessed!

God is good always and in all ways :)

I am so thankful that God watches over me and my family....undeserved and unmerited...His love covers us when we put our trust in Him!

Good news for one of my DD, she received a promotion and I am sooooo happy for her. She has had a rough couple of months health wise. A week ago she received a clean bill of health and now a promotion in her field. God is good and I am thankful :)

Tomorrow we are going to attend an International Culture Day where our oldest granddaughter is performing Taiko. Later the Wellston group is coming to our house for a delayed Trick R Trick due to weather!

Blessings!
