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

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...
