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 Valentine's Love Letter

   A Valentine's Love Letter On this Valentine's Day, how many of you got a card from someone you love? Precious words that made you feel cared about, treasured...loved! It means alot doesn't it? I especially appreciate when those cards have my husband's (or children's) own handwriting on them, their personal expression, their genuine sentiments of endearment. And so may I take this opportunity to remind all of you, that God has written a love letter for you. Written in red even (perfect for Valentine's Day)! His Holy Bible is your love letter, for it delivers the beautiful Gospel message, the proclamation of hope, the recipe for joy, the instruction manuel for life, the map for salvation. His letter shares of His Creator heart, of His desire for relationship, to have those He can pour all His love into and on. It relates of how He miraculously and lovingly created a beatiful world for His creation. Of how He realized that only by giving His created people a fre...

When life is hard. Really hard

  I am musing about... When life is hard. Really hard. There are dear ones who's lives are hard. There is no other way to put it. At times, I think about those who live in third world countries, or in slums, or the ghetto, or crack houses. Those who were born into poverty and pain. Those involved in addiction, maybe trafficking, sickness, heartache and despair. It is real. It sounds beyond hard. It breaks my heart. But not enough. There are those who appear to have good lives in a middle or upper class situation. But their lives are  full of challenges, confusion and sadness. There are those who things just do not seem to go well for. They suffer rejection and disapointment time and again. There are those who find themselves reaching for things they know they should not to try to heal the hurt. Even those who have reached for the Great Physician and have come to know His love and grace, and still they succumb and fall. And the layers of hard deepen. I recently listened to an a...

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...
