Monday Musings

I saw this on the computer and it really made me think...

"Don't you just wish that Jesus would walk into your kitchen, sit down with a cup of coffee, look at you and say, "Ok, here is what we are going to do".

                                                            Out in the Fields with God

                                                         The little cares that fretted me,
                                                         I lost them yesterday
                                                        Among the fields above the sea,
                                                        Among the winds that play,
                                                        Among the lowing of the herds,
                                                        The rustling of the trees,
                                                        Among the singing of the birds,
                                                        The humming of the bees.

                                                        The fears of what may come to pass,
                                                        I cast them all away
                                                       Among the clover-scented grass,
                                                       Among the new mown hay,
                                                       Among the rustling of the corn,
                                                       Where drowsy poppies nod,
                                                       Where ill thoughts die and good are born,
                                                       Out in the fields with God.

                                                                           —-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Monday Musings

 This morning as I started my day as I usually do with prayer, tea and journaling, I came across a question from one of my readings.  It resonated with me because one of my words for 2025 is "self".  Taking the time to focus on what I can do for me as well as for others.  My journal writing this morning focused on this question. However, I will not share that here but thought I would share the question with you.  Perhaps it is something you have thought about already or could move you to think about it.

"Are you living the life you want or simply the life that is happening to you?

Blessings for the new year to all of you.

"Does God answer all prayers?"

"Yes, but sometimes the answer is No!"

How many times have we prayed for something and we didn't get it?  Then because we didn't get what we asked for, we ranted and raved at how mean God is.  How He doesn't listen to us.  How He helps everyone else but us.  Didn't we ever stop to think that God has a plan for us and what we want and prayed for was not in the plan?  What we prayed for was not what we needed at that moment and time in our lives?  Shouldn't we have faith in God that He knows what we need and that sometimes what we need is not what we pray for?
