God Is Good
Loving God, from now on let us not desire health or life except to spend them for you and with you. You alone know what is good for us. Therefore, do whatever seems best to you. Give to us or take from us. We desire to adore equally all that comes to us from you, our Lord and God. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by Blaise Pascal)

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 (NIV)*******"TWO YEARS AGO, MY HUSBAND bought me an adult tricycle. It's blues and beautiful. I love it. That first year I rode until the weather turned. Last year, not strong enough to ride. I fought back and joined a gym. I rode a stationary bike, then followed up with weights.****Months passed. Spring's rains ended, replaced by sun-filled days rich with possibility. Still I avoided the trike. I lied to myself, "No time." Busywork crowded my mind, sapping my energy and souring my perspective. How could I play when there was so much to do? The house should be cleaner. There was always something. ******Beautiful days flew by, I avoided the trike, felt tired and discouraged. Then one day I saw a sign: Don't Give Up Your Daydream. Not your day job, your daydream. I'd forgotten how. I recognized Jesus's whisper. Or was He yelling? He gave me life, a gift worthy of joy, not dread. He grants me rest. So last night, I placed my troubles in His capable hands.*****This morning I climbed on my trike and took off. Crisp air ruffled my hair as I zipped along. Flowers fragranced my world. My body came alive, leg muscles pumping, oxygen clearing my thoughts. I was refreshed. If I'd stayed home, I'd have finished the dishes and swept the floor.******Instead, I heard children laughing, watched sunlight play through the clouds, and sensed Jesus smiling. I found rest." --HEIDI GAUL******FAITH STEP: Do something spontaneous today, especially if you're busy. Look for glimpses of the joy Jesus planted in your life. Daydream." **********Enjoy a blessed, healthy, safe, strong, prosperous, pleasant, happy & wonderful today always!
