janet's journey

I thought it time that I actually wrote down my thoughts, dreams, and hopes. Perhaps share some of what I've learned. Maybe someone will be encouraged, comforted (Life is better in community), or just amused.

Messy Blessings

I am overwhelmed. 
It is by the love and care of God. Sometimes things look like a hot mess. Then the blessings come out of chaos. Scripture tell us that Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.Proverbs 14:4
The ox labors, and there is a bit of a mess before the full results of that  labor are known. Today was a bit frustrating at first. My house was turned inside out in preparation for a party. Ben and I lead a quiet peaceful life. We have our own routine and style. Then Gd's angel's came (named Elaine, Sharon, and Cynthia) and went to work. The result was a wonderful dinner party with friends bringing gifts. Best of all, my Momma was one happy, dancing lady. There was so much food, that we were all able to take some to our respective freezers. Most of all, I could sense the love and favor of the Lord. It was such a blessed time. As I sit in the quietness of my home I am in awe of a holy and gracious, loving God.  Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38New King James Version.
I'm not at all sure that I've so much, But I know that my mom has. I simply get to experience the blessing of her overflow. How amazing that this wondrous God would pay notice of me and allow me to just brush the hem of His garment as He danced with my mom.
