Come To Me

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 

Jesus asks us to come to Him to get our rest.

Especially those of us who are weak and burdened.

And weary.

When we turn our weakness over to Jesus, He is ready to rejuvenate us with His power and love.

He uplifts us with His strong arms.

And carries us through all our troubles and doubts.

He surrounds us with His peace.

Hope in the Lord

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. — Isaiah 40:31 

We hope in the Lord.

He renews our strength.

He guides me through each day.

And He upholds me with His strong right arm.

Here's the pork dinner Kirk cooked on his new Traeger smoker.

It turned out delicious.

He cooked it to perfection.

Quite the grill master.

God's Presence

My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. — Exodus 33:14

God goes with us wherever we go. When we feel tired and downtrodden, worn and weary, He carries us through the day.

Even when we don't feel His presence, He is there to support us and lead and guide us the direction that is best.

This weekend, our women's group will retreat at the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside.

We will take time to rest, relax, sing, laugh, study God's Word, and hear from others who are walking with God.

We will have some delicious meals, smell the roses, and go for long walks.

Thank you, God, for giving us times to rest.
