December 13, 2007

Good Thursday morning! Yesterday at the DC did not go so well. I got anxious and ill, which caused me to be hauled home once more. I hate making others go out of their way for me, but that is what happens so very often. Is that unique to me? Certainly not, no one likes to depend on others, why do you think old people get cranky in nursing homes? We know that self-sufficiency is an illusion, even for the young. We may think that we are able to get by depending upon our own selves, but each and every day we are dependent upon God for many things, most of which we take for granted. Did any of us wake up this morning and thank the Lord that a meteorite didn't land on our house last night? Such a thing is possible, but we seldom realize how much danger we walk through daily. As the Good Shepherd, our Lord would probably not have us worrying about every real or unlikely danger each moment, that would be a tremendous burden. Instead, we put our trust in Him. It isn't that we live blind to every danger, but that there are so many that we let our Lord carry that burden. Lately, I have been seeing and imagining far too many dangers and threats. Please pray for each other in that we will place our burdens at the cross, and leave them there. This life is a difficult journey, we do not need to walk with imaginary monsters. Let us instead walk with Jesus and imagine our hand in his mighty grip.

Nothing can take us from Jesus' grasp; let us remember that today as we pray for each other,

Bucky
