Odd, but I’m feeling homesick. Not which home but it’s the feeling deep inside; a longing for something from before. It’s a feeling, a smell, or a sound. I’ll let you know when I figure it out.
This song caught me in the heart today.
“I will sing you home”
We’re getting close. We pray for safety, bread for the journey, and love to sustain us.
Bethlehem is just around the corner.
I often wonder how well we know anyone. There are secret inner parts of each soul. We know what others share with us – nothing more. Anything more is guessing, hoping, or even thoughts that are negative. We believe that someone is evil, another is too critical, or a dear friend becomes selfish for no reason.
But do we really know why? Perhaps when there is change in someone close, this is a signal that we need to spend some quality time with the individual just to listen to their story.
Do we recognise their best qualities? Change happens. This is not the time to be critical or condemning.
We read the scriptures and think we know Christ as we know ourselves. Maybe it’s time to be still and know. Time in reflection of the scriptures and in our relationship with Christ.
Do you routinely pray or spend time with the scriptures?
Song of the day: Knowing You
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
For those who enjoy country music:
Sunday, June 14th 10:00
There are many, many ways to pray. Some believe that when you sing, you pray twice. What a beautiful thought?
Do you have a favourite prayer? From grace at meal times to prayers before bed. As a child I was taught to say may prayers every night. Was that part of your tradition?
Sunday, June 14th we will be looking at the Lord’s Prayer.
There are many tunes and many translations from the scriptures that speak to us in different ways.
Do you have a favourite?
May these Hymns bring you a blessing.
Barbara
Are you ready? Have you made your preparations? In the midst of the storm, when we’re too tired to stand, we kneel; we pray.
No matter what we face in life, God is with us always.
Have a great week friends.
