He Grabs My Hand

By -
Yesterday, my three year old daughter was walking behind me on a sidewalk at a school.  I knew she was following me, but I wanted her closer to me.  I wanted to touch her.  I put my hand behind me and continued to walk forward.  When she did not grab my hand right away, I looked back at her to see if she saw me reaching for her.  When I realized that she was looking around and not at my hand, I turned around and gently took her hand and we walked together. Immediately, I was reminded of how the Heavenly Father does that for us.  He is ALWAYS walking ahead of us, aware of us, and desiring that we follow Him into GOOD things.  He longs to hold our hand and have us walk with Him, in ALL circumstances. My prayer for this week is that I not wait on Him to find me.  I want to run to catch up to Him, grab Him around the waist, hold His hand and walk with Him in JOY.  " But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lo...

Movement in the Light

By -
About fifty yards away, movement caught my eye.  Two things had happened to allow me to see such a tiny, magnificent creature positioned so far from my home.  Without the sunlight streaming through the treetops, it would not have been possible to see the spider working on his web.  Without watching, I would not have noticed.  But a gift was presented to me this very morning.  Not just the beautiful arthropod, suspended between the power lines, but a lesson was etched on my heart and found it's fingers into my mind.  In that moment, a question formed in my brain:  What gifts lie in wait for us everyday, if we were watching for them?  The light drew my attention outdoors.  The continued watching allowed me to see.  I was reminded of a wondrous parallel.  His light is everywhere, even the angels and Holy Spirit seeking to rescue those in darkness.  My heart cries out this morning, let His light shine into every heart and life to...

Getting Your FEET Back Under You

By -
Wow!  Although I have written many in my head, it has been a while since I last blogged.  These last few weeks, I have been learning to get my feet back under me.   It has been a wonderful time of soul searching and character building, but I was not so sure at the time.  On this side, it is refreshing to hear, "You look really great.  Your countenance has changed."  After the work put forth, that is quite a nice echo in the ears. My blog prior to this was very candid (to prevent redundancy, see last blog for details).  Needless to say, I felt I was at end of myself.  I began writing the following blog, while helping my daughter learn that she can somersault.  This particular daughter is very tactile and has been since she was very, very young.  When we watched, Herby: Fully Loaded, she would somersault over and over again all over the room with excitement.  She was more entertaining than the movie, even thought the mov...
