To the Moon and Back!

 

I am marveling at...

"to the moon and back"!


How many times of late have we heard the phrase "I love you to the moon and back"! Wow. That sounds like a lot of love. And it is meant to.  

But what about the love of our Heavenly Father! The love of Jesus, His Son! His love is beyond measure! It is as far as "the east is from the rest". It is infinite and oh so real. It is made real to us in so many ways. 

But mostly in the way our Heavenly Father paved a  means for us to bridge the gap of sin; to find personal relationship with our loving Creator God. To find a place of deep and ultimate peace. To have  an invitation extended to spend eternity in the glories of Heavenly Splendor in the presence of LOVE itself.

For our Jesus, left the glories and the beauty, not to mention His place in Heaven and came to this deplorable earth. He experienced the pain and heartache of mocking men, of  total misunderstanding, of dealing with this world's sin and anger. Of taking on the sins of all mankind. Of experiencing the full wrath of His Father, meant for you and me; unleashed upon Him. Of staying there. On the cross. Separated from the Father. Of seeing the Father's plan through...to the bitter and beautiful end!

What greater love! Listen and hear your Savior tenderly say to you, even from the glorious Splendor of His Heavenly Home where he has "gone to prepare a place for you".....

"I love you, my Child...... to the cross and back"!

John 15:13

John 14:3

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...

It is just not like being there

  I am musing about.... It is just not like being there. Picture this. You have a precious (dream like) opportunity to talk with your great grandpa. He asks, "So how was church on Sunday?" "It was good" you respond.  "We watched online."                                                                                      Can you imagine his response??  "WHAT is online "?? In this Covid world, online church has become a reality for many. I admit that it is a WONDERFUL  option for those who need or desire to stay away from crowds, who are ill or at risk. How many times this year have I thanked God for the blessings of technology. Providing a chance to "almost feel like you are there".  But you aren't. And it is not the same. There is just something abo...

Preeminence

I am musing.... about Preeminence Preeminence. I LOVE that word! I use that word...alot. I think it. I pray it. I go back to it. Time and again. It gives me comfort and realignment. It helps me navigate life. It gives hope, reassurance, peace and purpose. Why? Because of the context in which I use it. CHRIST IS THE PREEMINENCE! He is my all-in-all! He is on the throne! He has all things. He is all knowing and all powerful and all present! And there-in I find hope and comfort and reassurance and peace and realignment and purpose. When Satan throws those darts of doubt and fear, I raise my shield of faith and shout from my soul “HE IS THE PREEMINENCE!” Life can be going along. Hunky Dory. Life is good. I have been able to touch base with all the kiddos and the grandkiddos:) I have had my sweet grandbaby-time (whether in my arms or on Facebook). My hubby seems happy and content. The house is clean (enough). Work is going well. Bible Study is scheduled for th...
