time to share

"And you will say on that day: "Thank the LORD; call on God's name; proclaim God's deeds among the peoples; declare that God's name is exalted.""  (Isaiah 12:4 CEB)

Once again many changes are happening - school has either started or will be starting, summer activities are ending, the leaves are starting to change and (sometimes) it is even starting to cool down.  All changes we know about, expect and can even begin to prepare for -- like making sure we know where the winter coats ended up and finding the winter hats and scarfs.  Of course moving has "moved" all of the winter things so it is more interesting this year.  We have also found, in the move, quite a few more hats, scarfs, mittens and even coats -- do we REALLY need so many?!?!??

Through all these changes and challenges, however, has been the strong guidance, strength and PEACE of God's presence.  Even with the sorting,  and cleaning out, of everything from clothes to dishes to crafting supplies God has given a "peace that passes understanding."  Yes, there have been major changes as a four bedroom house has gone to one bedroom.  Yes, adjustments are still being made to fit crafting supplies into an already full house.  But, even though things are happening s-l-o-w-l-y they are happening.  We DO see God at work and we are sharing about God's presence.

My friend, Isaiah - from God time this week, is also calling for us to be sharing.  Are we proclaiming God's name?  Are we sharing when we feel God's presence, strength and guidance?  Who are we sharing with?  Are we "exalting" God's name as we share?  Something to think about.......
