Anchor

Isolation, normal, anxiety, financial worries, family, thankful, concern, safe, anxious, denial, humor, frustration, overwhelmed, fear, and love; my emotions are all  one big hot mess in my head.  It is as if it were a ball of string unraveled by the winds of human nature, tossing me about without care.  And then I focus on my anchor, Jesus.  He secures my footing.  My faith in Jesus is not a weight that oppresses, but my faith is  an anchor to hold me secure from the ever constant changes I face.  I feel His prescence holding me tight, reminding me to not fear the unknown for He is always with me. 
 
 


Instructions for Life

I love reading Proverbs.  The boundless source of  wisdom, not just spiritually but literally provides  step by step instructions on how to be thoughtful, respectful, kind, caring and loving.  Proverbs is written for you and for me.  The book touches each of us in all facets of our life  regardless if you are a  man, woman, child, parent, brother, sister,  neighbor, wealthly or poor.   
 
I especially want to share during these strange times,  that Proverbs reminds us of the Rewards of Wisdom.   
 
Proverbs 3:3-3 “Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 3:5  Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding
Proverbs 15:13-15  
A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.  The mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.  All the days of the afflicted are bad, But a cheerful heart has a continual feast. 
 
Like all of us across our earthly home we are  faced with a time of  uncertainity. Let us instead put our energy into doing good.  Encourage others by sending an email, postcard, or a phone call.  Let kindness spread. 
 
When we practice our social distance, give a smile.  Let your joyful heart be seen.
