    Abi, thank you for putting a smile on my face and in my heart. Let the JOY of the Lord be our strength and may our mouths be full of laughter and our lips with shouts of JOY. I so appreciate your blog An Untroubled Troubled Heart. I came across your facebook page awhile ago. It's good to worship again with you and John. I think of him always when I see turkeys in the field. 💕

Take it!

This week I was preaching at a local church and I decided to preach on Communion.  I guess it's something we all take for granted - and sometimes we can become so familiar with something that we forget what it's really all about.  I worked out that I have probably taken communion around 500 times in my life… Maybe more depending how frequently the churches we were in took it, and then add in the times John and I have take it together or in a small group, but both Jesus and Paul mention it as something we should do, so it's got to be important.   I wanted to share some of the things I was thinking about (if you want to hear the whole preach you can listen here ) but it's good reminder of how to posture ourselves when we take communion and we should take it! Luke 22:19-20 (KJV) And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, Th...

Withdraw!

Image
Following on from my last post, I heard a great analogy this week, which really made the point well: When we say we want 'more of God' as if we are waiting on him, it is like us having a bank account with an unlimited balance, but rarely or never using our bank card to withdraw from it.  We still have the account (salvation) and the money (the Holy Spirit) but we never use it.    We live in a world full of death, depression, sickness, sin and all the rubbish that came into God's perfect and beautiful creation at The Fall.  Christians have the one true solution, and yet so often we are either hiding it,  ignoring it, or just simply not using what God has placed in us for his glory.  That's just sad!  The great commision says we are to preach the Gospel, cleanse the leper, heal this sick, make disciples, raise the dead (not necessarily in that order), but honestly in my opinion, a high percentage of us settle for Church attendance, maybe a mid week bible...

Come and see

Image
I was listening to one of my favourite carols Noel ft Lauren Daigle - https://youtu.be/aBZ6Lqx1OHk   if you want a listen. I was struck by one of the lines "Come and see what God has done" as the angels are speaking to the Shepherds and it hit me that they didn't appear a week before and say 'Go and see what God is going to do'.  They spoke about what GOD HAD DONE.  Jesus was already born and the Shepherds went off to see him.  Often we can look to the future and wonder what God might do, where he is taking us, or how he can take change our current situation, but sometimes, we need to look at what God HAS done and fix our hope on him.  When we look and see all that God has done for us, starting with coming to earth as a baby, growing up to die on the cross and then brining it into our own lives, we can easily say "See what the Lord has done"!  There's most definitely a time for looking forward, but there's also times to remember what has already ...
