A Personal Weather Report

I am musing about...

My "accu" or I should say my "acc-me" weather report

What a funny, mixed up day!

Cloudy. Sunny. Sunny with clouds.

Cloudy with rain.

Raining while shining.

Do you ever have days like that in your own inner life?

Happy. Sad. Sad but joyful. Happy but crying.

Oh the fun of emotions. Changing. Down on its way up. Up on its way down.

Effected by news and events and sleep and diet and, yes....weather.

Our God. The same. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Always there. Always caring.

Through rain or shine; His peace and presence and powerful grace are constant.

On that we can rely:)

He is the source of an inner peace that can help control our emotional barometer.

So rain on world! It is all okay because my God reigns on! By God's grace, I will shine on because His Son is always shining inside of me!

Some days I may shade it, not allow it to shine out in it's full glory. I let "me" get in the way.

Actually, more likely...such is the case at some point of time, most every day.

But what would the "accuweather" say about me?

Am I partly sunny? Partly cloudy? Or sunny with a chance or rain?

Lord, be my weathervane. May it point up to you and thus be steady. Not so affected by the winds of the times and the tell-tell ticks of the culture clock!

Jesus, you are my constant, my forever friend. A "fair weather friend" you are not. You are with me through life's storms and life's sunshine. You are the most understanding "me"-teorologists ever. You understand the heat waves and the times of high pressure. So, help me get me out of the way. For with you in my heart the forecast can always be full of the Son!

Thank You and God Bless!!

Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

I am musing about.... Taking a Selah moment Selah! You see the word used often in the Psalms. What does it really mean? It has been thought that it could mean to "take a pause", to stop, think, reflect, let what you just read or heard really sink in. Last Sunday in church, the minister had us all take a "Selah moment". For an entire minute the large sanctuary filled with potentially stirring/whispering congregants was hush still. As we all thought and pondered, either about something from the first service or an interaction we had during the fellowship time (thus were the instructions anyway) peace sank deeper into my heart. It was powerful. It helped cement in my mind some great thoughts from the earlier service, thoughts that could have easily slipped away. What a great idea! May we all take frequent "Selah moments". Times to pause, take notice, reflect and praise. After reading His Living Word. Selah. In the midst of a noisy crowd. Selah At your comp...

Just What is it About this Time of Year?

I am musing and marveling about.... Just what is it about this time of year?? It is a time of "peace on Earth, good will to men". It is a time of universal sharing, caring and giving. It is a time when people open their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks. It is a time of nostalgia; a time of dreaming. It is a time of childhood wonder (no matter your age), It is a time of chorales, symphonies, caroling and ..... humming. It is a time of togetherness, a time for connectivity (or at least a desire for it). It is a time of extreme busyness (pre-Covid anyway) and yet a time we yearn for quiet and pause. It is a time of reflection. It is a time of memory making and memory stirring. It is a time of healing or a time when healing feels so needed. It is a time of emotion, when feelings reign strong. It is a time when grief hits harder and joys abound more fully. It is a time of beauty and serenity and warmth. It is a time of reaching out and reaching in. It is a time of cozy...
