Gratitude is a choice.
This Spring I choose gratitude while I watch suffering friends, a country split down a painful political divide, and continually wrestle my way through each day, trying to make sense out of our fallen garden. One delightful, restorative resource is a book, “The Shack” written by William P. Young. Find a copy! Buy it, share it, discuss it withyour friends, ponder and wonder at this provocative novel that challenges us to believe GOD is HUGE!! Much more in love with us than we can believe, dream or imagine! And hopefully, it will spring new life in you as it is doing in my own heart.
New life. Christ died to defeat despair and to birth hope.
Spring! Colors......Life again comes to our earth by the grace of God .
We have messy lives but because of Christ, I know that God does love His messy, beloved creation. Every last, crazy, blind and groping-for-truth one of us!
Beware of lies.... The enemy would do cartwheels if any are trapped by the chaos around us. If we lose sight of what is NOT seen, we lose all that was given for us to have life at it’s fullest
John 10:10
Keep looking up....for HIM..for HIS move, HIS touch.
Talk to Him, listen for the Holy Spirit’s voice, trust your Father God.
Jesus came to show us the love of God.
Jesus, the CHRIST, the ONLY Son of the Living God, who before
the foundation of the world decided we were worth dying for, and He loves loves loves loves us so much that He gave Himself for us so we can live.
Behind the seen is a battle being fought and won because of love.
So this year, this spring, choose life! choose faith! choose hope!
In our Jesus, wildly and confidently put your full weight down,
put your feet up, close your eyes from time to time, and whisper “I believe
in spite of myself in the powerful glory of my Father!”
Much love and tall girl hugs in our Christ to all!
