It was and will be cold again. And God will continue to bless us. Simple!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 105:40-42<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They asked, and he brought quails, and gave them food from heaven in abundance. He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 6:11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give us this day our daily bread.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One knows, even after one has one\u2019s fill, even at a feast, that one will get hungry again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how come we cannot be satisfied, knowing that there will always be enough?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because, there often has been, in history and in our own lifetimes, not enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is when we work so there is enough, and take only what we need, not more, then we end up able to share more with others,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and others are more likely to share with us, when the day comes when we do not have enough<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and through it all we have not wasted time and energy and opportunities to try to secure enough for ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wasted that time is because there is no such security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Might as well trust God and get on with as good a life as one can live,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which is (as God created us to live) a life of sharing with others, even to the point of suffering ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Jesus messes with our lives (messed from how we want always to hoard for ourselves) and that saves us from messing up our lives so bad life is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today: trust God\u2019s bountiful blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
