Yay for God's promises!!

God promises us many blessings. Most important is that if we remain in Him He will be in us. He has a house prepared for us.He promises us we have the privilege of being His children. He promised Abraham to make a great nation out of him, He promised Moses freedom for His people, He promised Ruth comfort, and so forth, But He also promised that if His people didn't follow Him or forgot Him, He would not tolerate sin. At all. May we remember His promises and be satisfied with that and not want more, which often results in sin.

Things happen, don't they...

This week could not have been drawn up better in a Hollywood drama. I woke up Sunday and quickly became best friends with my bathroom while not being able to walk two inches without losing balance and finding sea legs. That relationship and that condition lasted until Tuesday morning when I began to be able to eat a little, My mom had been caring for me because I felt as though I was strapped to the bed. On Tuesday mom fell breaking her pelvic bone. But the bright spot was that I was home. On Tuesday while I was by no means 100%, I could still call the ambulance, have them transport her to the ER and then drive her home when done. I was home. Had I not been home she would not have been able to get off the floor.Amazing how things work out. Amazing how God knows timing better than we do!

Here comes the sun...

I love the Beatles song, "Here comes the sun"... So much so I sing it to the words of "Here comes the Son" because He did after all create the sun... As well as flowers... As well as all the universe... I am so grateful that He indeed loves us to brighten our day when it looks most dim...

Zen

Zen like other religions has sayings very similar to what Jesus taught, except for one thing... Buddha was a man, granted one that claimed to have been spiritually transformed into God, but still a man. Other religions such as Islam, Taoism, Confuscianism, etc are the same way. The main person involved with spreading the message of whatever particular religion was the being professed was just a man. Only Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. Hard to wrap our limited human intelligence around but if He wasn't who He claimed He was then He died for nothing and we have the most squalid existence and we are all living as He lived for nothing. On the other hand if He is who He says He is, then we have the most wonderful, most perfect existence waiting for us. May God lead us and guide us along the way He wants us to walk, and not the way any man does.
