Jesus Wept

 Jesus wept.

He did. The Bible says He did. Despite the knowledge He had of the glorious, life-giving end result in the case of Lazarus's death, yet He wept

He was able to connect in spirit with those who were hurting. He was able to feel their pain, to comprehend their plight.

May we like Jesus weep with those who weep.  May our "heart be broken for that which breaks His".

May we allow ourselves to think beyond ourselves, to experience beyond ourselves in a way that others will know that we care beyond ourselves.

We all have days when our skies look dark. When they are dark.  But as many of us live in and try to
"look on the bright side " of life, (by God's grace), may we be aware that there are people who's side of life is really not all that bright.  

Let us take the time to allow ourselves to go there. In our minds, our hearts, our prayers and if and when able...in our own lives. 

May we be attune to the Spirit. When He says "Go", may we go. When He says "Give" may we give. When He says "pray", may we pray. When He says "hurt and weep", may we hurt and weep.

May we ask Jesus daily to conform our heart to be more like His, and may we remember.....

Jesus wept.

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...
