The Common Denominator

 

 I am musing at 

The Greatest Common Denominator


Have you ever noticed that someone "likes" or comments on one of your friend's Facebook posts and you wonder "How does she know her?" It is always kind of fun and intriguing when someone you know knows someone else you know, and they seem to come from completely different demographics. For example, maybe one of your friends from High School happens to know one of your friends from a past job that was in a different city. "What is the connection?" you may wonder.

My mind took this thought quite a bit further. All the way to Heaven actually.

When we get to Heaven and look around, there will be one thing that draws us all together. The one connecting reason that each of us is there! Most likely, as we enter the glorious realm above, we will be in such awe, and awash with such wonder at His merciful grace and love for us, so taken aback by the indescribable beauty around us,  that our completely sanctified minds will not even wonder something as earthy as "why are they here"? We will be so inexplicably humbled and overcome with the reality that "we are here"!

And we will all behold our wonderful common denominator. Jesus! He who gave His life for us!  Our merciful Lord, Redeemer and Savior! All of us will be connected by the love of Jesus and what He did for us! Our common denominator is our Uncommon Dominator! Our "all-in-all"! May He dominate our hearts and lives today!! 

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all ONE IN JESUS CHRIST"     Galations 3:28

Jesus is truly the GREATEST Common Denominator!

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...

Misunderstanding Understanding

  I am musing about...  Misunderstanding Understanding (the understanding of misunderstanding :) ) We all have been involved in misunderstandings; in being misunderstood. It is logical to see how this can happen. We all look at situations according to our  own "story", our personal experiences and our own  interpretation of life. There are times we say something, and it is simply taken "the wrong way". There are times someone says something to us, and we take it "the wrong way". The sad thing is when this misunderstanding goes uncorrected; when it influences behavior, emotions and relationships. That is why good communication is so important. That is why prayer is so needful. Do we pray that God will guide our words and conversations? Do we pray that God will prepare the hearts of those we may plan to speak with regarding a somewhat deep situation? But then there are those spontaneous, if you will, interactions. Those supposedly harmless statements that so...

Just What is it About this Time of Year?

  I am musing and marveling about.... Just what is it about this time of year?? It is a time of "peace on Earth, good will to men". It is a time of universal sharing, caring and giving. It is a time when people open their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks. It is a time of nostalgia; a time of dreaming. It is a time of childhood wonder (no matter your age), It is a time of chorales, symphonies, caroling and ..... humming.  It is a time of togetherness, a time for connectivity (or at least a desire for it). It is a time of extreme busyness (pre-Covid anyway) and yet a time we yearn for quiet and pause. It is a time of reflection. It is a time of memory making and memory stirring. It is a time of healing or a time when healing feels so needed. It is a time of emotion, when feelings reign strong. It is a time when grief hits harder and joys abound more fully. It is a time of beauty and serenity and warmth. It is a time of reaching out and reaching in. It is a time of cozy...
