When you need it most…a Godwink
We lost a great man yesterday. When I think about Rob’s Uncle it always brings a smile to my face. There is something about the Moore family humor that is unmatched. It is humor that is dry yet perfectly executed often leaving the listener to pause minutes after they walked away and simply smile as they finally got the joke. He loved our family and its history and him and our Aunt lived and enjoyed a long life together.
Saying yes when all you want to do is say no
I mentioned it was going to be a hectic week and the week has not disappointed. Today was also my scheduled neighborhood Bible study. I usually set my alarm for a fifteen minute warning just in case I go down for a quick snooze. As I started packing up and getting ready, Helena asked me if I was looking forward to study tonight and as I looked over my shoulder, it was not a look of joy or excitement. They were tired eyes that looked at her as I shrugged my shoulders.
Thankful for connections
Sometimes, connections are what keep you grounded. They are what remind you that when you may feel like you are in the middle of a storm that is hovering over you alone, that is rarely the case. I have had a few of those reminders lately and I am so thankful for them.
God’s people together in unity!
I’ve shared multiple times how I see Godwinks in the world around us. This weekend was not different. I had a dear friend that conducted a funeral for a lost friend and co-worker. The verse he used was Psalm 133:1 “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” We then had an amazing experience making Molasses with his family.
Your ways are not my ways
I listen to a wonderful podcast “Therapy and Theology”.In one of the earlier podcast, the discussion was on how would you describe love and the description of loving someone unconditionally was a common response. I have said this many times to both my adult and younger children and it is the love that I strive to achieve. I strive to achieve it, but in full disclosure, I fail often. In their discussion, it stood out to me that they describe that only God is capable of unconditional love.
