Spring

A cool breeze coming through open, screened windows.  Sunshine I feel as I wake up.  Cows lowing in the field.  Sandhill cranes, morning birds, making their noise. Zip's warmth next to my leg. The promise of summer in Montana.  A Sabbath day ahead. Last Sunday Jim talked about all the ways Jesus shows His love for us and then we joined him in sharing the things we notice.  We talked about stars, how plants bloom, laughter, more.  I praise you, God and thank you for this day.

He cares about you.

Years ago, when we lived in Mississippi, I found a scripture in I Peter that blessed me enough that I decapauged it on a napkin holder and put it on my table.  I threw it away awhile back.  This morning it was on Pray-as-you-go.  It reads, "Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares about you."  This morning that testimony of Peter has blessed me again.  This weekend we are doing a couples retreat in Billings.  I'm casting that anxiety on Him.  It is still amazing to me that the God of the Universe cares about me.Thank you, dear Jesus.  I hope by my actions today I can love you too.  "We love Him because He first loved us."
