Word
for the Weekend
It
was a joy-filled weekend for us; part of it spent with friends at a beautiful
cabin. A time for reunions, good food, celebrating friendships that are decades
old, along with the addition of grown kids, their kids, a new baby and a baby
on the way. Time has flown by and I often stop now and look and listen and take
in, with gratitude, these moments together.
Tonight we are celebrating the 90th birthday of a friend’s
mom. She is in the last years of life. I hope you can celebrate each season
with loved ones. Each day is a precious gift. These moments can be savored, one
at a time, as you experience them and taken out later to remember with a smile.
If this particular time in your life is not joy-filled take in these
Words from the book of Nehemiah.
Nehemiah
said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who
have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve for the joy
of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah
8:10 (NIV)
Dear Father,
Thank you for the precious moments
in our lives. Fill us with Your joy which gives us strength to get through the
days that are not so easy. Bless us today with your strength. The deep lasting joy of eternal life can give us strength for today.
Amen
