Home. Safe. Warm. Food.
These are not God. But they are undoubtedly from Him.
His face is all over them, His embrace in them.
I walked on the sidewalk with poverty, took a long train ride, was disheartened about religious history and reformation, moved through the bitter cold dark, climbed three flights to the studio and sighed.
Safe. Home. Food. Warmth.
It was impossible not to meditate on these things.
May we never forget how truly blessed we are to simply arrive to our warm homes (however tiny) safely.
Jesus said
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food,
and the body more important than clothes?"
Matthew 6:25
Did you know that I have the verse after that tattood on my side?
ReplyDeleteWell of course you do.
And also.
ReplyDeleteI just read so many of your blogs because I am avoiding my responsibilities this morning.
I think I am going to call you in just moments, because I love you so much and I am full of despair about the fact we don't live near each other.
I admire my Best Friend so much.
