I love my life...most of the time. Daddy always said, these are the cards you've been dealt, no re-dos, do the best with what you've got! I sure did love that man!
The girl in the yellow played the part of a girl in awe of the love of the Lord. The girl in red played a girl questioning God and everything, and the girl in black (my daughter--Laura) played a girl in pain and broken! It was a great---moving skit and the girls did a great job.
Our church is awesome--an casual! A blue-jean type of church! We can always tell the visitors in suits and dresses!
You should come and visit us. You can check us out of The Brook Church. Our drama group is called 'the crackedpots'.
(If you can't read it--it says, "Moses, stop it!")
Well, I guess you do have to know the story of the Red Sea to get this....and loving to fish would probably help too!
But this is funny.
Do we speak 'in tongue', so to say, that non-Christians can't understand what we are talking about.
You know, Jesus spoke of this, when he spoke in parables and said believers would understand. Well, yes and no! We understand IF we have read the Bible (I like to refer to as the book of instructions!). But our minds cannot comprehend the awesomeness of God! We get glimpses (and that blows my mind!) but I can't conceive His power and COOLNESS!
Take the hummingbird. I love hummingbirds.
I can't imagine the fun God must have had making this amazing creature. It seems to hover effortlessly in mid-air!
And, if as some believe, man came from monkeys, where did hummingbirds come from? I can just see the first on in God's hand as He gently blows on it to get it to fly away! What a beautiful picture!
So what is my point? How do I tell you how awesome God is--not just was during creation, not just when Moses parted the Red Sea, but as He helped me put together a prayer for a dear friend last week and as He helped me put together a note to my pastor and as He helped me give my husband a special message, for no reason at all, except after 36 1/2 years, I still love him!
So next time you see the little hummingbird, or the great beautiful Eagle soaring, know God had His hand in that and He is as alive today as He was then and as He will be for all tomorrows! (If you don't believe me, read the back of the book--it's called Revelations!)
My first mentor of a pastor use to say that relationships are give and take. Think of it like a 'love bank'. If you keep giving, and nothing goes back in, soon or later (and in my case....sooner) you will have nothing to give. I think it is sometimes harder for men to give in a way that 'counts' towards filling the bank.
Well, as things would go, I had a very emotional day yesterday, and the tank was low...and there is nothing worse than an explosion.
But then my sweet dear husband surprized me by coming by this afternoon and bringing me lunch......awwww....how sweet....he never (well, seldom) does that!
We've made it this far, I'm in for the long haul!
Thirty-six years down and fourteen years to go! See you at the finish line!
