Still Here Gathering Manna

So they gathered it every morning, each as much as he needed to eat; for when the sun grew hot it would melt. Exodus 16:21

I love the story of the manna God provided for the Israelites. Everyday they were to gather what they needed and use it, it was not to be saved as there would be an ample supply the next day. It was an everyday task. Sometimes I get bored or lazy about our everyday tasks. Do you?

I have been gathering the last two weeks better than usual. Each day I have been reading and letting the day's lesson soak into my life. Then taking up the reading the next day and finding new and important thoughts that fit for that day.

Amazing how it works when you do what God asks you to do.

Look for and gather your daily bread, it will be there for you everyday. Use it up for you will find just the correct portion. Know in your heart and soul that you will find more tomorrow.

That doesn't mean I have put the golf clubs down. Played in two scrambles tournaments last week: first in one and tied for second in the other. A lot of fun and good times. I love scrambles because of the team work.

Love is All


Love...does not seek its own, is not provoked. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
This is, of course, Love month. I have been reminded so many times in the last couple of weeks, of the power and need for love. My uncle, who lives far away, fell over the weekend and broke his hip. He is blessed with a dear friend who has seen him through the surgery and is by his side right now.
Recently, through the wonders of Facebook, I have been reunited with a number of former students. We are having so much fun reacquainting and catching up. But, also, wondering what God has in plan for our coming together after almost 15 years or so.
Then there are the golf buddies who stick together through thick and thin.
And...the great fun of spending time with my bestest buddy two weeks ago. Lucy and Ethel time!!
Love comes in all shapes and sizes, far and near, old and new. Love needs to be shared and spread.
Mopping around because you don't have a friend close by...go out and get you one! It starts with a smile at the library, at work, at the store. There is someone out there that needs you and your friendship. Say "hey" to that new person at church.
Those two in the picture are two of our three best friends. That's Lucky (the white one) and Poppy. Remember, there is a friend waiting for you at the animal shelter :).

Prayer Friday

For all that are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Romans 8:14

Loving Creator, Living Christ, Moving Holy Spirit
Lord that about says it all. Loving, Living, Moving...
Thank you for the opportunities You give me to know my true self and the true self of those around me. Please, forgive me for the times I get so into the world that I forget this.
May I live in Your peace and love today. May I remember that I am here to spread that peace and love with all that You put in my path. AMEN
