July 28, 2007

Good morning! We have a rainy day ahead of us it would seem. The customers waiting in line for the sidewalk sale at our store have a cool day for the first time in many years. Praise the Lord for his beneficence! Nothing heavy on such a fine day. A busy day yesterday, and I found out nothing new on the reorganization at work. I'll just have to set that aside and enjoy the weekend, with some homework thrown in to keep the weekend busy. It is time to set the calamities of the week aside and enjoy some time off. Have you ever wondered how much it would take to please God? Have I done enough today, or this week? If faith without deeds is dead, do we need to be a constant, whirling ball of activity for God? If you look at the one example we should always look toward, I think you will find that Jesus had a pace and that he often withdrew to quiet places. None of us has the endurance to do many things simultaneously and do them well. God created us with a need for sleep and relaxation. Trying to do too much will wear us out. Our lives are to be a shining light to the world, if we are worn out and tired all the time, what kind of witness is that to someone in the same state? Leave the guilt feelings at the feet of the cross; God will make it clear when each of us is to act. Rest in our Lord Jesus!

Have a wonderful weekend in the Spirit!
