As a Chaplain, I try not to visit patients too early. I figure most people need one or two cups of coffee before having to look at me!
I arrived around noon at a patient’s house the other day. The lady I came to see was still asleep. Her grandson woke her up and gave her a bottle of coke.
She smiled and said her grandson always brings her a coke in the morning. This was her coffee, she joked.
She began talking about good memories of how she had worked for the Lord, teaching Sunday school. Even though she was just waking up, she radiated the joy of the Lord. We had a great visit.
I prayed and we said our goodbyes. As I was about to open the door to leave, I heard her talking to God.
“Lord, I’m sorry I didn’t say good morning to you when I woke up. I always say good morning to you. I love You Lord.”
This tugged at my heart strings. It reminded me that sometimes get in a hurry, and forget to really pray.
Sure, I say the words, but they don’t sound or feel as heartfelt as “Good morning Lord! I love You.”
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11
February… The mornings are still cold, then it warms up in the afternoon, giving the feeling that Spring is near.
CCM is looking forward to Spring. Prayerfully planning… Easter egg hunts.
Who else do you know that’s thinking of Easter egg hunts this early?
One reason is that we do more than one. Lord willing, we hope to do 12 events, starting in late March.
Please pray with us for:
Receptive hearts
Good weather
Volunteers
Resources
Please also pray about networking with us on these events. Some locations might be near you.
As always, we would love to help you reach your neighborhood.
Thanks for your prayers and support.
Enjoy every day that God gives you and His beautiful creation…
