WHINING BOUT THE SUMMER DAYS?

Today is such a nice day for fall to usher in but is still summer
A bit of coolness in the early morning air hints of an premature fall
However the date of this day(July 30) awakens me to reality: summer is still here,enjoy it.
 People near me are even talking of Christmas which brings a bit of joy to me as I contemplate hand made gifts to be done but also reminds me it is far from near and I still have many summer memories to enjoy.
 Sometimes I rush seasons a bit but this also carries into my spiritual life. I rush what lies ahead for me in the spirit llife, thinking I must know this or desire to know that.
 But God is such a timely teacher His fall is not to come duriing out summers.
 When we are ready and able to understand a truth then the next "season" arrives, bringing with it much awaited joy but also much needed rest in Him.
 Summer is fun and offers so much beauty, warmth and peace.
 So too does our stay in our Lord God's plan for our lives, in His word and truth.
When we are ready for a new season to arrive it comes as naturally as the passage of fall from summer.
 and truth be known sometimes I do not miss summer for a long time because the fall is so very beautiful too.

ZOMBIES ARE POWERLESS

How  can someone be rescued by a dead person?

 If you think about falling down an elevator shaft or a cliff or whatever falling fantasy you may have how can anyone rescue you if they are no longer in this world, if they are DEAD.

 Can a dead person jump out of the grave ton hear your rescue cries and save your life?

 Only a LIVING person could save your lfe from that peril you are in. So is the same with our spirits.
 ONLY A RISEN LIVING SAVIOR CAN SAVE OUR LIVES FROM ETERNAL FIRE.
 HE IS JESUS!! THE ONLY SON OF GOD, WHO ROSE FORM THE DEAD SO WE CAN LIVE!!!!!!

WAITER WANTED

I AM NOT A GOOD WAITER

 Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord(a song)
wait, wait, wait
wait till next year
wait till tomorrow
but what does it mean to WAIT ON THE LORD?
when you are in a waiting room it means you have to stay there until the doctor/dentist or whatever person has invited you in to see you, it's your turn
when we wait in line at a store, we are doing so for a specific goal: a purchase
we can wait at a concert for tickets
at an amusement park for a ride

and so on
the list could be endless
so it seems we wait a lot
for many reasons
But what does it men to WAIT ON THE LORD?

Are we to stay in some line, or room, or in a restaurant?

Waiting on the Lord, what does that mean?

Does it mean to just pray and be still?
I think waiting on the Lord means we are so happy just to know he loves us and works on our behalf
that we are in a constant state of joy and expectancy
we await to see His goodness everywhere
we await to see His mercy and grace
and it IS everywhere
Once I had to wait many years for an answer to prayer
when it came, and it came beautifully, seems to me God had a better way of answering it than I thought
my wait was one of pleading and hoping and trusting
it was a difficult time, one in which I struggled, yet still maintained that hope and peace from our Father in heaven
Maybe waiting on the Lord is a process then, a lifelong stream of getting to know and trust God
better than a supermarket line
but we can still pray in that line just to have more time with Him
