Its easy to love those close to you especially when they return your love a hundred fold.
 Yet when Jesus commands us to love those who are our enemies, it is not so easy to always imagine let alone do.
 Anyone can be an enemy, far or close/ We can even be our own enemy. 
 Who are your enemies? Perhaps the man next door, the lady who gave you a bad report or even a religion or a political group.
Whatever the case ask He who is able to do exceedingly more than we could think or imagine to open a door in your heart(and mine) to love those who are against us, or, against our beliefs.

I took this pic of my grandson learning to fish with his Granpa.
 Jesus said He would make us fishers of men. 
It is a skill that is  requiring patience, stillness, and waiting, this fishing art. Yet in the end the rewards are great.
 I guess sometimes we catch something and sometimes we do not. Yet we learn how to watch and wait, something that is lacking in our modern "I WANT IT NOW" life.

God opens windows so we can enjoy the fresh air.
 .......... breezy kinda days when His Spirit flows calmly as you sleep or sail in His mercy

 it is a refreshing welcome!!!
STOP and let Him open ALL the windows for you.

Sometimes, when it is very important, God closes those very same windows.............

storms are coming and only He knows how strong the winds will be. 
 Be still, know He is in the storm WITH YOU and allow Him to close and then reopen the windows when it is calm
He may even open new ones too!!!!

BABIES AND JESUS

Babies are often carried around in those car seats nowadays in many places, restaurants,stores,so on.
 Today,as I was finishing a lovely lunch, I noticed a little one nestled happily in his car seat, toted around by a loving Daddy. 
 This baby was covered with a soft blanket, had many toys about him and suckled contentedly on a teether type toy,and,despite the bumpy,bouncy movement of the seat,nothing seemed to phase him. He was just so happy and trusting and even, unaware of all the world around him.
 I was thinking that us how I am at times when I trust my heavenly Father.
Babies do not know what they are riding in, what they are sucking on or even who they themselves really are yet.
 All they know is there is someone there who feeds them, cleans them,loves them.
 This is how we are too when we find Jesus.
He cleans us up, loves us and feeds us that spiritual milk we desperately have craved for since "time beginning".
 Then he carries us,and, if we allow Him, He leads us gently so we discover who we are in Him, "Yet to ALL who DID receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the "right" to become children of God-" (John 1:12)
 I want to be like that baby,letting go...........................
Just trusting and knowing Him more and more
