Openings …. A Thirsty summer day

 

Do you remember what it was to be very thirsty,

Where no liquid but water could quench it?

The way your body started to slow down, decisions became irritable and

you wanted to be somewhere cool, alone and with ice cold water.

The soul cries out for nourishment, notice God for one minute and you have prayed.

“Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
with the ten-stringed lyre chant his praises.
Sing to him a new song;
pluck the strings skillfully, with shouts of gladness.”

Psalms

Openings … Insurance policy

 

Imagine an insurance policy that provides a long term guarantee of eternal happiness just be signing up?

Requirements are not simple; to love others and have faith in Him.

Easy words, but with deep meanings.

Like the words, forever, eternity and joy.

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Gospel of Mark

Openings … God’s Invitation

Imagine a day without any advertising,

A day where no one parks their car on your lawn and empties their trash in your children’s sandbox.

24 hours devoid of anger and turmoil,

A day of complete silence, only enhanced by the sounds of nature.

When all acts are blessed, work is postponed and we are replete with gratitude

This day is Sunday. God’s gift to you.

“God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work he had done in creation.”

Genesis
