Time is limited. We have a gift each day, an opportunity to make full something that is easily made empty with vain pursuits and distractions. We think we must pack the most we can into our schedules in order to squeeze the best out of the time we are given. We fill our lives full of tasks and to-dos and stress and worries, taking on burdens that really don’t give a lot back in the way of fullness. ⠀⠀ 466 13
When my daughter was small I sent her to her room for something I can no longer remember. I encouraged her to pray, to make things right between her and Jesus.⠀⠀ 290 19
Most of my summers growing up were spent playing outside with my older sister and numerous cousins. Our home neighbored a large field, which played house to snakes, pollywogs and a canal full of several other creatures. On weekends, my dad would treat us to walks through the field so we could go play at the park on the other side. On one particular day, our time at the park ended early due to the hangry independence and overdue nap time of a three-year-old little girl (confession: I was the little girl). As we headed home, I took it upon myself to walk ahead of my dad and amble across the log that was our passage over the murky canal water. I had made it half-way across when my small feet grew unsteady and as if in slow motion, my feet slipped off of the log and I was quickly devoured by the rushing water underneath. As my head emerged and I rolled onto my back, I remember opening my eyes and seeing my dad toss my younger brother to my sister and dive into the brown water to save me.⠀⠀ 313 7
After reading the book of Jeremiah recently, I was amazed by the relentless love of God. Jeremiah was chosen by God as a young boy to prophesy the fall of Jerusalem and capture of God’s chosen people.⠀⠀ 468 15
Hands up if you're a doer—a person who knows how to get things done! We are people that don't really like to sit down for too long especially when we see a sink full of dishes or that 'one quick thing' that just needs to be done...and then we can rest. ⠀⠀ 315 20
