Let's stop obsessing over trivial things...

How often do we obsess over what we don’t have, what we want, and how to get it? How often do we stand in the mirror obsessing over our hair, makeup, clothes, and how to improve our appearance? I struggle to write about these things feeling so convicted, but still it must be talked about. The simple fact is we spend very little time in fellowship with God and with one another but an incredible amount of time obsessing over our lives, wants, likes, dislikes, appearance, and more.

I challenge you along with myself to spend less time obsessing over trivial things and spend more time in fellowship with God and in fellowship with one another. Let’s pray for one another and encourage one another, and let’s spend more time praising the Lord for His grace and unfailing love.

Grace & Peace

Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

Today I learned that my aunt passed away. She was always so kind to me and always greeted me with a sweet smile, hugs and kisses, even when I got older and would only see her every few years. I keep thinking of how she would always remind me that she and I have the same birthday. I loved hearing her say that when I was a child; perhaps it was just that she made me feel so special like we had a unique and special connection because we shared the same birthday. I don’t know, I guess it seems silly thinking about how excited I would get about her as a child. As we grow older we don’t think it’s so important to hear those same things over and over until the day comes when that person is no longer with us to say those words. I’ll hold on to those words and seeing her sweet smile and the warmth that I still feel when I think of her kind heart . Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.
