Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

It has been a while since I have written. Like you, this time of year keeps us very busy. I want you to know that you are continually on our mind and in our prayers. Some of you let me know what we need to be praying about. If you haven't and have a special prayer request, please send it to us. I woke at 3 this morning thinking of this letter and what to say and what came to mind was, we are all very busy some times too much so. God impressed upon me to take some time and slow down and spend it with him and I don't mean just a minute, but time to reflect and time to look upon what is relly important to you.

When I was reading devotions this morning I read this: Slowing Down for a Moment. This devotional was written by Robin Dugall

"God, my shepherd, I don’t need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction." —Psalm 23:1-3

Did you know that a study was presented to the USA Congress back in the 1960s that said we would become so technologically sophisticated before the year 2000 that we would have to work only 5 to 6 hours a day. The “experts” said that the big problem of the 21st century would be what to do with the extra leisure time. Right! Technology has served to speed up our pace of living. Today, most of us are busier than ever!

When was the last time you cherished a moment? When was the last time – you had the time – to simply focus on how you were going to be obedient and responsive to the will and heart of your God? When was the last time you spent time with God as a natural response to the moment – without any outside encouragement or guilt to motivate you? Right now, I encourage you to tell the Lord your God that you so desire the fullness of His presence in these moments.

My prayer for you this morning is you take the time to talk to the Lord and then listen.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on
Don
