Essential for spirtual Enrichment
The past two months have been filled, with a multitude of family indifference. Coming together at times, and other moments going in separate directions. Such an influx of ranging emotions or present, or past life issues. There seemed to be no point, to find any rest or calmness within. In each circumstance I literally felt, as if I was being pulled for spirtual in several directions daily. This time of year, in Alaska there is so much emphasis, on going non-stop. To complete many awaiting projects, to prepare for the long winter to come. Because at this point and time, we have exactly nineteen hours, sixteen minutes, and thirty-eight seconds of daylight. Essential Enrichment
Everyone is making use of all this daylight, people are daily pushing past all human endurance. To levels of the high risks, of personal injury, and lack quality family time. To missing the personal time, to fellowship with the Lord. Last year I can clearly recall, this family event, it was a beautiful family cook out. I arose early to prepare for event, all went well. Later that evening family members went home. I thought wanted a memorable time to hold close to my heart. Instead of taking time to rest, I went back outside to finish a few things. Being overly tired, I stepped the wrong way. And sprinted my ankle severely. Which resulted in sixteen weeks of physical therapy, walking on crutches, and going to pool therapy.
If I would have listened more intently to the inner voice, which is the Holy Spirit, saying you need to stop and rest for period of time. Just as my house sitting, time is coming to a close this week. There were things, which took place, which were out of my control. A few days ago my daughter, told me she wanted me out of her life. Do to spiritual differences. I have prayed daily, for the Lord to open her heart, and heal our broken relationship. This was a real hard blow to my heart, but I thought of this title, releasing this to the Lord. Was essential for spirtual deepening, my closing comment to her was, the door to my heart and soul shall always be open for you. Just as the Lord, will always accept us no matter what state our life is in.
It has been a few days since this conversation has taken place with my daughter. This will be another opportunity for to have planted the seed, of the Jesus Christ infinite life healing and blessings. Then another turn of events to place, a family member injured his back was twiked, and he couldn’t move around to well. So I left my housesitting position and came to assist my loved. I had informed my friend of this situation, and we prayed for some friends, to fill in for me. Instead of going into a frenzy, on how will this all work out. And low and behold it came together perfectly. The pets and her house now have two other people, helping out while I’m at home, until this Friday, it worked out three fold.
My friend got to attend to funerals in Ohio, and grow deeper in faith of the Lord. My loved one is healing wonderfully from back problems; I’m no longer feeling the push pull going on. I’m able to be at complete rest, from the flurry of life events, which occurred recently. My health is improving greatly, due being an obedient servant to Lord. Also to being of service to others in their time of need. What a tremendous blessing all of these trials and tribulations, I can still enjoy prefect peace and soul rest. This scripture passages sums up my recent life experiences. (Matthew 11:28 NIV), “Come to me, who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Even as I’m writing this article, my soul is a place of complete rest. I have felt the heavy burden lifted from my heart. I will pray for all of you, that whenever life throws a hard curve your way.May you find a sanctuary,where you can enter into a heart and soul rest.
