There are days when one just needs to get up and take care of things on your mind so the mind can relax. That was this morning as 4:00 am came about. I was asked to write a blessing for my granddaughter who is getting married this Saturday in Oklahoma City. Kathy and I will be flying back there this Thursday. Yesterday I wrote the blessing but I wanted to add a picture to it and I just couldn’t find one of this particular grandchild. As I got up I asked Jesus to help me find where one might be. Well, He did just that. The blessing is now complete with pictures added to it. God is so thorough if I finally let Him.

This current focus of believing was given a new element yesterday in our pastor’s sermon. He was talking about God’s Love as Paul described LOVE in I Corinthians 13. The point that hit me is emulating God’s Love because His Holy Spirit lives in me already. It is not something I do, but instead, it is what God’s Holy Spirit does through me as I surrender to Him. It completely takes away “our assignment idea” and replaces it with “our surrender”. I don’t know why I have to be so old in order to learn these fundamental truths. I’m sure glad our God is so patient with us!
