Uncle Jer



So much has happened since this picture was taken. Little Kaleb is going to be six weeks old. Can anyone imagine it would take me this long to post a pic, let alone to do any grandma bragging. So often I want to sit and write. Writing has always been the way I can best express my musings and mutterings. I know my my mind and spirit are all jumbled from lackings in my spiritual diet. Each day just blends into the next without my taking the time, making the time to delve into the word of God, or even to spend more than a moment seeking His blessing on my day. Why? Why? I know I cannot function on any level without the peace and power of the holy spirit in my life. Yet, I scurry out of bed already behind on the limitless list of tasks to be attempted that day. My mind and body are weakened by various health issues and still I do not partake of he most nourishing regenerating sustenance available. I stumble through each day fluttering from one unfinished chore to the next only to eventually fall into bed exhausted and yet unable to sleep as the pressure of the undone weighs heavy on my heart.

I am where you are (regarding devotions) on a regular basis Sandy. I have resorted to doing my devotions in bed and tell myself to not let my feet hit the floor in the morning before I have my time with the Lord. I remind myself that I won't be able to get through my day and accomplish all that the Lord wants me to accomplish if I don't first spend time with Him. It really helps. I found the book All I Need to be a helpful devotional to get me back in the swing of doing my devotions. (The ISBN# is: 0-8007-1791-0.) The top half of the page are scriptures and the bottom half are different quotes from various authors. It only takes about 3-5 minutes. Once you get used to doing devotions regularly again you can add reading your bible, and other books, but I found this really helped me start up again and I liked that it had scripture included in the daily reading.

So good to hear from you. I am glad you started blogging again.
