One Thousand Gifts #24

#600-#610

~precious time with a friend over coffee at the Farmers Market

~fear that presses me harder into Him

~a sister cancer fighter is now whole and healed in Heaven, suffering no more.

~hope even within sadness

~the promise of His strength and courage even within my fear

~a precious, perfect job for my sister

~lunch with her

~a Godly grandpa, celebrating his 88 years

~nephews who use their gifts for eternity.  Ambiance, you rock.

~baby Stella.  She lights my heart with her flirty, shy, one shoulder shrug.

~a Sunday Sermon, full of hard words I needed to hear:

       John 1:21–  Peter, pointing a finger…”Lord, what about him?”
       John 1:23– Jesus, “What is that to you?  Follow me.”

       How much more loudly can he say to me “You worry about you!”


       My interpretation of my pastor’s words:
       No matter what unique pathway is yours, no matter what shape of the journey is yours, we are called to follow Him!   Your life, as Peters did, may require courage. Your life, as John’s did, may require endurance.  Remember that He is worthy of our hearts!!  Beloved, follow Him.
