Miracle Monday
I'm writing this on Sunday evening. We just finished watching our movie of the week - our pick? A movie on Pope John Paull II. It was very good, one we had seen before but always get more the second time around. Amazing when you look at his life - of where he started and where he ended up. A normal young man in Poland ends up as Pope. Okay, maybe not normal... but you get the idea.
Life is so much like that. I think all of us have experienced days in which everything starts out like every other day and then something happens that totally changes our life forever. Perhaps someone we love gets sick or dies or perhaps something changes in our life causing us to totally change the direction we are going.
One of the old Christian songs I like to sing a line or two of (the only lines I know of it) are "When you are walking with the Lord, you don't get bored."
Thats what this day is. A day not to get bored. A day in which God has gifted us with something new. Hmmmmm, what will it be?
Blessings of Peace and all Good,

Mini Retreat Theme: Making more Room for Jesus in my Life Quote: Encourage one another daily, while it is still today. Meditation: (set your timer for ten minutes) Imagine that it is early morning. The sun is just starting to come up over the horizon. A bird starts to sing. You go to your special place in your garden and you have a surprise. There is already someone sitting on the chair waiting for you. It is Jesus. He is smiling and he wants to tell you how much you mean to him. He wants to tell you of some of the special hopes and dreams he has for you. It doesn't matter how far away you have been from him. It doesn't matter that you don't know how to talk to him or how to be in his presence. Jesus is not concerned with that. He just wants to tell you some beautiful things about how special you are to him. He wants to share how he created you to be just who you are. How totally you are in the Father's hands - that you are loved and very special. This is a beautiful day for you. Take ten minutes to let Jesus smile at you. Prayer when time is completed: Jesus, I hardly can believe that you love me, I thank you. I want to accept your love, show me how to be at peace in the thought and knowledge of your love for me. Everything will be okay. Amen. |
