Casting

 

 

I am musing about....

 

Casting

 

So I cast my vote yesterday. By mail. And I sent it off with a prayer (one of many) and with faith in the ruler of all Rulers.

I had planned to vote in person, but with Covid starting to hit closer to home and to work, I opted to assure I could vote, and sent for a ballot.

What a campaign season it has been!

When it comes to being politically informed, we have all turned the awareness corner! We have access to information available at our finger tips The problem is we do not always know what to believe. We need wisdom and discernment. And a lot of it.

This season has served to heighten our awareness of the need for prayer. It has strengthened our resolve to trust in the only source of absolute Truth! Our God! And in that we find peace and consolation.

So much seems to hinge on the results this time. It seems we have come to a fork in the road. What kind of America lies ahead for us? And for our grandkids?

There may be some who are considering not voting. That is their prerogative. But just a note of reality here. If they are waiting for the perfect candidate, one who exemplifies Christian principles through and through....it may be a very long wait. And in the meantime, time will have marched on. Our freedoms may have been challenged, and in a worse case scenario some may have been removed.  The potential is there, that we may hardly recognize our national self four years from now. 

So let us cast our vote. It s is our God given opportunity. Today. To utilize our voice. To take a stand. If the exact stand we would like to take is not an option, or if the person upon which this stand stands, is not all we would like him to be...yet, let us vote. For the future. For the platform. For the candidate who's values most align with ours. For those who will lead with him. 

To vote is a God given right! Our nation's father's gave their lives for this right; for freedom and democracy. 

 So today, while we have this God given opportunity....may we look to our God, for guidance....and CAST.

Trusting the outcome and the ramifications to Him.

How thankful we are that this world is not our home.

But for now we are here, passing through. And it is a beautiful place in so many ways. May we not forget that. And come what may....there will always be blessings and joys abundant. In Him.

So as we strive to live as thankful and supportive citizens of God's Kingdom, may we go forth in this earthly Kingdom, with faith, hope and love, carrying His banner high, waving it for all to see!

 For praise God....we serve the glorious Ruler of all rulers! Our God and King!

CASTING all your care upon him; for he careth for you.  1 Peter 5:7

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, aides, administration, housekeeping, dietary, activities....we all have found ourselves caught up in a reality we did not realize we had signed up for. The extra logistics, anxieties, regulations. uncertainties, fogged up glasses, claustrophobic masks, staffing challenges, reside

The Gift of Art and Creative Contributions

I am marveling at                                                                                                           the Gift of Art and Creative Contributions! Wow. What a lovely day. My legs are tired, but my heart if full. Hubby and I biked another portion of the Hennepin Trail today. Beautiful and historic! So of course, our love affair with God's beautiful creation was stoked. But surprisingly, so was my appreciation for Art. We enjoyed biking past one lock after another, those old engineering marvels from the early days of the 20th century. The trail we biked along was a link to days gone by. For it was the same old pathway utilized by mules as they hauled the barges laden with grain and supplies along the canal joining the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. How I appreciated the old steel rusty structures, the bridges and the locks, with their levers, gears, arches and spokes. They spoke to me of the past. As did the old path itself.   There were relatively few people o

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
