#5 Books

"Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." 
                         John 21:24-25



I love to read... especially the Bible. It brings comfort. It is 
amazing how a familiar story can have a different meaning that fits your situation. I love looking at the Bible during life's questions. It never stops amazing me how God answers so many questions in one BOOK.



I have never been perfect at the "daily devotion." I seem to go in spirts sometimes... but on the days when I miss... I realize I missed hearing from God, and missed his fellowship. I have also found that my tendency to read the Bible mirrors my growth in Christ. When I skip a few days, I find that I am not connecting with God and relying on him on those days. 

I have been working my way through the Bible. Right now I am starting Ezekiel and reading in Acts.  Anyone care to join me? 

#4 Friends

"Bear one another's BURDENS." Galations 6:2

This past week, the burdens were heavy. Too heavy to carry alone... thank you dear friends for coming along side and listening to me weep... for sharing a prayer on the phone, for sympathy, for compassion, for knowing and understanding. The burden was too great, but it was spread out... and the load was lightened. Not gone, nor forgotten, but lighter none the less.

#3 Rest

Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest. 

Matthew 11:38
