and, some crazy hair....
SMILE!!!
I have started a Bible study with my friend, Lesley, this week, which centers on the names of GOD. He has so many (names!) and they all mean something special- which I find, well, very, very cool.
I guess, just like we name our children with thoughtfulness (and compromise and thinking), God has many ways of referring to Himself that represent, or name how He relates to us. Most of them (so far) are related to His awesomeness, and how He is all consuming, powerful, providing... and, you know, awesome!
It's good news. It is The good News. And it's better news than what we read about in the paper these days, and what we see on TV.
Our Pastor preached about always rejoicing in the Lord- It was actually our memory verse last week from Philippians: Rejoice in the Lord always, I say again, Rejoice!
Well, sometimes that is hard to do (shootings, more shootings, government shut-downs, economic crisis, furloughs, unemployment) ...
The thing, I think, is to remember: this is not our home. We aren't here forever. God has us. He loves us. He has a greater perspective. He is mighty, and awesome. We aren't home, yet.
So- hopefully, this will brighten your day (even just a little?).
And when you feel stressed, think about looking UP!
