Free and Full

This past week and a half our family enjoyed having our sister/aunt and some friends here in Haiti and it was easy to feel free and full... in my time, my tummy and my heart! J

I believe that God purposes for us to live "free and full" whether we are surrounded by those we love or not but being with friends seems to make good days better and life a little bit 'fuller', right??

These last 5+ days were full of 'girl time' and I also enjoyed a break from the routines that fill my everydays.  It was soooooooo nice!  We packed a ton of activity into our short time together and after catching up on some sleep I think I could do it again next week!   (smiles)

"But it's not just about us... God wants you to flourish so that people can be encouraged, gardens can be planted, music can be written, sick people can be helped, or companies can thrive in ways that otherwise would not.  So let's stop and propose a toast: 'Here's to the person God designed, desired, and has determined you will become.'" 

~Word For You Today

So, if you're joined with friends or even braving the day alone... 

   Take time to recoup and enjoy life so that you can 

       share yours with others.

   Seize opportunities to laugh and love and help someone else do the same.

   Relish in the journey you're on, thanking God for His constant attention.

   Watch the sun go down and the stars glow and pray 

        for those who are struggling.

   Take joy in knowing your Father delights in you and tell 

        someone else who might not know.

   Live  in the truth that He has "...come that we may have life, 

        and have it to the full." (John 10:10)

"THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO ME;

YOU’VE TRULY BECOME MY SALVATION!

THE STONE THE MASONS DISCARDED

AS FLAWED IS NOW THE CAPSTONE!

THIS IS GOD’S WORK…

WE RUB OUR EYES-WE CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT!

THIS IS THE VERY DAY GOD ACTED-

LET’S CELEBRATE AND BE FESTIVE!

OH YES, GOD

-A FREE AND FULL LIFE!"

-PSALM 118:21-25
