Daylight found its way thru the blind shortly after 5 this morning. I was lingering in bed thinking how nice it would be if I could just stay there for a few more hours and recover some of the sleep we had lost driving back on Monday. It was not to be, way too much going on today to lounge around wishing for more sleep.
Have a few errands to run this morning plus get the garage in order for the rummage sale tomorrow thru Saturday.
John 15: 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. Comforting verse don’t you think? Jesus invites us in and He comes to us. Where he fills us with peace, bestows grace, pours out love, and gives us strength to keep on. His gifts to us help us pray, and be faithful in our marriage and friendships, we are moved to repent/reconcile with those we have hurt and we joyfully serve others. Sounds like an idyllic life. However, we know that forming a friendship with Jesus is anything but easy. satan (yes he is real and does mess with us) works very hard to steal that peace and tranquility from us. He is a manipulator and a liar, stopping short at nothing to interfere with our union with Christ. This is why we must daily choose to unite ourselves with Christ taking comfort in the grace he pours on us to remain strong in him.
Know you are prayed for.
