"Give it a Rest"


I am musing about....

A Spoon-holder. 

Yep:)  When we travel, I like to purchase something that is practical, something that I can use, and as I use it, it can remind me of a sweet and memorable time.

And so, recently I purchased a ceramic spoon holder; it is coming in handy, easy to wash, works well...

But on that spoon holder (written in colors that go with my kitchen, yes, I am a little OCD that way:) )....it says, "Give it a rest, Right here".

A place to lay down my spoon, soiled from the workings of stirring and blending, a place to let it rest...

I know. We are talking about a spoon here. :)

But, I think you know where I am going with this. Where do we take our busy lives, soiled by the stirrrings and blendings of our day to day interactions and commitments, and "give it a rest"? 

How blessed we are that we can lay them at the cross. Give them all to Jesus. Our ups, our downs, our joys, our concerns, our questions, our supposed answers, our dreams, our hopes, our aspirations, our struggles, our everything...

Give them to Jesus. Lay them down. Give it a rest...

"Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28

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...
