To-Do Lists
What's on your Summer to-do list?
Get to the beach?
Host a picnic?
Paint the house?
Grow a garden?
Have a bonfire?
Try every flavor of water ice?
Read a good book?
Cut the grass if it ever stops raining?
Visit every amusement park within a few hours' drive?
And then what?
More to-do lists!
Gather back-to-school supplies...Then what?
Visit a pumpkin patch....Then what?
Start Christmas shopping....Our work is never done! We are slaves to this mentality!
But what about Trey?
We prayed for Trey to be saved from his surgery! Praise the Lord he was!
Then what?
We prayed for Joe and Bella to feel secure in their parents' embrace of comfort! Praise the Lord they are!
Then what?
And now we pray for Trey's complete healing from cancer!
And for wisdom and strength and health as he progresses with his treatments!
There will always be "something" enslaving you. This 4th of July week, seek personal freedom.
Freedom from the drudgery of just "getting things done."
Freedom from self-imposed expectations.
Freedom from the would-a, should-a, could-as.
God is the Creator of the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!"
As Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me,because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Luke 4:18, 19
