A Dipperful of Grace

I got some new knuckle lights! They are just that. You wear them on your knuckles. I love them. They light the way and help me be "seen" as I walk the neighborhood at night. It is something I enjoy doing. It is cooler, quiet, peaceful. And oh the stars!

I love looking up at the night sky resplendent with God's twinkling lights suspended in the darkness, creating a sense of warmth and welcome amidst the black vastness.

Looking up at the heavens, God feels near. His awesomeness is palpable as is His presence.

The other night as I gazed up, I noticed anew the big dipper. Tilted downward, so easy to spot.

And God gave me a precious thought.

It was as if He was saying "Look. See that big dipper? It is filled with my grace and goodness. As you trust and look to me, I will pour my grace out upon you. My grace is abundant. It is sufficient. It is positioned and ready to be poured out. An entire "Big Dipper" full of grace!! For you!

And then it thrilled my soul as I contemplated the reality that that same big dipper is visible to all people and nations the world over. And so is His promise.

"My grace is sufficient for thee".

Pour out your grace upon this world dear Jesus. May the TRUTH of your sufficiency be spread abroad. May all tribes and nations, oh may we all, lift our eyes up to you "from whence cometh our help".

God Stories. What's yours?

I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep. It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

There once was a fly....

I am musing on a story that begins like this.... There once was a fly. There once was a fly. It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions. Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching. As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile. Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States. Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is. Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is. Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake. Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and for those he works with Little did he know of the challenges that...

What I Saw Today

I am musing... ~11/2020 about what I saw today I stepped into the med room this morning. It is a little room off of the west side nurse's station. It was quiet back there. And what I saw made my heart sing with a sense of grateful comfort. There on the counter, someone had left an open Bible. It was sitting there, a testimony that someone had likely taken a moment to grab a deep breath and glean some divine words of encouragement. It was still open, inviting others to also partake from the comfort of it's living pages. Like for so many, this has been a really tough season for all of us. Nurses, aide...
