Trusting God’s Hand

You can listen to this post on Refresh Her Podcast.

How sweet it is to walk with a young child.  Their little chubby hand grasps one finger of the adult that is guiding them.  But as that youngster grows and begins to want some independence, what do they do?  They take their other hand and try to wiggle their finger out of the hand that is guiding them.  They want to go their own way without the help of anyone else.

That illustration is a picture of what we do as we push back from God’s ways.  Recently as I read II Kings 5 about the man Naaman and leprosy, I saw the same kind of attitude that I often display.

Clean the Kitchen with Me!

As you look into your bedroom right now, is it a refuge…or a wreck? A haven,,, or havoc? If you want to sleep better and feel more rested, studies show that having a clean and organized room can help! When our homes are cared for, we are also (and especially) caring for the people who live there. Let’s do what we can to feel rested, and do the same for the family who shares our home.

It’s easy to neglect cleaning the bedroom because one might think, “Well no one else is going to see this room! Guests won’t come in here!” But we need to do ourselves the favor of creating a space that is an inviting retreat from the busyness of life and the world.

My husband is a huge Dunkin Donut coffee fan! He has visited many of these establishments across the country. Whenever he walks out of the store with his DD coffee cup in hand, he gets in the car and begins to give me a review of their service and of the coffee itself. Recently when he was raving about the cup he just received, I told him,
