Everyday Flowers

Everyday Flowers


I still remember the “just because I care” flowers from my husband sent a few years ago. I had called my husband at his office to lament about some unresolved drama that I had so Dan told me to come to his office. I did. But… then out of nowhere a “stress arrow” hit my husband and he began speaking from his book of Lamentations.  He began talking about our finances, his work load, and health stuff. It was unusual for me but I sat SILENTLY and prayed while tears ran down my cheeks.  

I left the office with a hug and knew that this is life and it would be okay. An hour later a beautiful bouquet of flowers arrived and a card from my husband saying; “I love you.” At the same moment a dear friend called and said, “I was praying for you and thought you might need to talk.”  That’s JUST like God, supplying what we need when we need it…everyday.

Everyday Sit and Wait

 
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Sit and Wait


The Sunday morning message was that of a prodigal daughter so afterward there was an invitation to come forward to pray for a child we had or knew who was perhaps “lost.”  I went forward deciding to pray for a few friends my heart was aching for.  When I finished I turned around and sat on the bottom step and looked vacantly down the aisle, feeling numb.  The small group that had gathered up front was now dispersing with tears and “thanks for praying with me” hugs.  I sat alone.
    
But suddenly, a woman, who could be described as the exact opposite of me, gentle and quiet, put her arm around me.  It was quiet and not a word was said but gradually tears started rolling down my face and then I started to sob.  This woman, with the love and understanding you can read about in 2 Corinthians put both her arms around me because she knew what my heart must be feeling.  She was like Jesus sitting at the well with me, waiting to just love others as they are and ready to meet their thirst …everyday.

Pray Before You Speak

 
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Life Choice


My husband Dan and I were on the couch once again having “the talk.” Oh ya know the talk about finances and getting out of debt?  Dan proceeded in a serious tone talking about what “we” needed to do but it sounded more like a lecture about what “I” needed to do.  I wanted to shout; “If you don’t like the way things are, look at the changes you can make.  Don’t wait for me to change.”  I even had a verse to go with “my talk”; Deuteronomy 30:19; “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”  

But for some reason I sat silently and prayed.  And by the end of Dan’s lamentation he actually said, “I guess I need to look at the choices I can make and not put it all on you.”  And I think, “Why don’t I shut my mouth more often and simply pray? It’s a life giving choice to make…everyday.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. The fruit you grow is rooted in God and comes from Him. Since it comes from God, it’s stable and not like worldly happiness, which is merely emotional based on what “happens" to you.
​Let’s grow with the bright burst of love that God brings to you and I as we walk in faith, not fear.  
Galatians 5:22-23
