Things End and Things Begin
The rains stopped in the story of Noah’s Ark, but the flood grew. It seems like life is a process where something ends, and something also begins …. slowly.
Anne Lamott: “You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

JUST HAPPENED TO SEE THIS VIDEO THINGS BEGIN AND THINGS END. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO HOST A CHURCH SERVICE AT A NURSING HOME AND HAVE BEEN COMING UP WITH SERMONS EVERY WEEK. THIS MESSAGE HIT HOME TODAY AS I MINISTERED TO 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE GOING THROUGH MAJOR LOSESS IN THEIR LIFE AND AM GOING TO USE SOME OF YOUR MESSAGE THIS SUNDAY, 11-5- 2023 ALMOST A YEAR LATER FROM WHEN YOU GAVE IT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHAT GOD LAID ON YOUR HEART AS IT MINISTERED TO ME TODAY. BEING INVOLVED WITH THE NEW CHURCH FOR 45 YEARS AND NOW AT 73 YRS OLD I LOVE HOW GOD KEEPS WORKING IN OUR LIVES TEACHING US NEW THINGS EVERY DAY. AS I AM PREPARING TO ENCOURAGE US, GOD IS USING MY MESSAGES TO ENCOURAGE MYSELF IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS. ESPECIALLY IN A WAITING ROOM HAVING TO DO WITH THE LOSS OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR OWN SON WHO ONLY LIVES 10 MIN AWAY AND HAVE’T SEEN HIM EXCEPT FOR 1 HR IN 3 YRS. THIS FLOOD HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG WAIT FOR THE WATERS TO GO DOWN BUT I KNOW GOD IS IN THE BACKGROUND WORKING ALL THINGS OUT AND ONE DAY THAT DOVE IS GOING TO LAND AT OUR FRONT DOOR. THE WORLD IS IN A CONSTANT SPIRITUAL BATTLE BUT GOD AND HIS LOVE ALWAYS WINS GIVING US HOPE AND JOY AND PEACE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU CONTINUE TO SHARE HIS LOVE AND HIS WORD.
