Aim at earth and you get neither.”

And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round and pluck blackberries.”

~ John 14:2-4 ~

      God is busy but never too busy to hear from His children. He hears a lot from me (lol)…praise, thanks, appeal, talking about weather, chores…I "cast all my cares on Him for He cares for me." Hopefully, you've got the lack of hot water problem fixed. Have you thought more about moving to southern climes?

    Browning's words illustrate so concretely what we heard in a homily lately: how God meant creation to bring us into communion with Him, but we have become mere consumers.

    Thank you, Sandra.

    You and I share so many life-changing experiences
    Sandra dear, and I thank you for the great comfort I derive from your Sabbath Keeping. I can
    well understand why Dave is still on your lips and at your fingertips as you type. So great a love cannot be extinguished or truly dimmed. I
    am praying your world will be restored to order and peace, with much beauty added along the way…In the meantime, the "crew" sounds like a blessing with whom you can share Church, and I believe so much good will emerge from the mishaps and disorder as a result. Sharing in your prayers for others.

    Dear Sandra, you found a lot of heavenly proverbs. I think, you have an intense contact to heaven and to those, who already are less or more or complete heavenly. I love especially the words of Charles Spurgeon, but all the others, too. Blessings to you, brave sister in Christ, from the Bavarian Forest
