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

A story of a story of The Story

   Updated:  Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

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...
