Grabbing Nectar

 

I am musing about...

Grabbing Nectar

The other day, while on a walk with our granddaughters, we stopped to admire the lovely flowering bushes. The bees were buzzing around, flitting from one blossom to the next, resolutely partaking of the sweet nectary feast they had found.

As I noted their activity it made me think of how once they obtain the sweet nourishing nectar, they are equipped to go forth and produce that which God created them for; honey!

And so it is with us. As we partake of the spiritual nourishment found in God's Word, we too will then be equipped to go forth and produce fruit for Jesus.

May we feast often, with purpose and determination, taking it in, bringing us joy! May it sweeten our days and strengthen our souls as we gratefully partake from the spiritual nectar our God provides!

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more then honey to my mouth.           Psalm 119;103

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...

  Did you know our brother Jim? Did you ever talk to him? Because if you did It's safe to say, There's a good chance  you made his day.
