Trust

Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Can you do this? Try to imagine what that would be like...

Could heaven be any better than this? Culinary delights prepared with love by the women of Ascension ... there is none better on earth! Come Sunday August 29 and see if you don't agree!

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Did You See?

Did you see the beautiful sunset? Thanks be to God for sunsets, and for sunrises, and for summer flowers, and for children, and for flowing rivers, for singing birds, cool breezes, warm sunshine, and for everything!

"Only one thing is needed... and that is found in true fellowship with Jesus." These are the words we are meditating on this week. as we continue our study with "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World". Do you ever feel overwhelmed by all you need to do? Do your prayers and devotions become just duties? Like Martha we may end up feeling resentful, or we may become impatient with those who we feel should be doing something, but are not helping. What do you think about Mary and Martha? Can you understand Jesus' words, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed."

"I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure. For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit. You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:8-11 (lectionary reading for Sunday, June 27, 2010)
