Time to Pray

"Be joyful always; pray continually; 

give thanks in all circumstances, 

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I got up early one morning

and rushed right into the day; 

I had so much to accomplish

that I didn't have time to pray. 

Problems just tumbled about me

and heavier came each task; 

"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered

He said, "But you didn't ask." 

I wanted to see joy and beauty

but the day toiled on, gray and bleak; 

I wondered why God didn't show me. 

He said,"But you didn't seek"

I tried to come into God's presence; 

I used all the keys at the lock. 

God gently and lovingly chided

"My child, you didn't knock." 

I woke up early this morning

And paused before entering the day. 

I had so mush to accomplish

That I had to take time to Pray.

most often than not,  the poem above pretty much sums up my prayer life.


Linking to Spiritual Sunday !!

beware of paper cups...

the following is from an email i received... 

i thought i'd share with you too...

An IT professional working in Technopark, was finding himself with an upset stomach every night. While normal medical checks revealed nothing wrong in him, deeper probes revealed the reason – his stomach was collecting significant amounts of wax. And doctors identified the villian – the ordinary paper cups he used for drinking tea at his office pantry.

Disposable paper cups have become quite popular in office pantries due to the convenience it offers. What many overlook is the fact that these paper cups are coated with a tiny layer of wax, which is essential to prevent water from seeping  into the paper. When very hot liquids are pour over this cup, the wax may disintegrate and a little may come off, which will promptly be sent along with the drink into our stomachs! While our body can discard minor amounts, over the long-term, it does become a problem.

a walk and talk with you

i love to go to places

away from the noises of the city

and feast on the beauty of God's creation.

i was thinking....

how nice it would be to take a walk with you

and find a spot to sit ourselves down

and watch together, the sun goes down

and talk about simple, silly stuff you know...

don't you think it would be nice?

i do. 

God, i'm so grateful for the many wonderful friends i met here !!

i hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. I am...:)

thank you for coming by and reading.

Love & hugs,

come with me to Spiritual Sunday for inspiring posts

the brighter side...

hey sweet people.... how have your days been so far? if you ask me the same question i'd tell you its so-so...

this image pretty much sums up my day. you see i have been down with viral conjunctivitis for a couple of days now. haven't been to work... haven't been out... that would mean a house arrest..:) haven't been visiting many lovely blogs that i so love to visit... haven't been able to read my favourite books... i know that sad.

but i'm learning to look at the brighter side... i get to just sit... relax... with my eyes close... listen to some of my favourite songs... commune with God... tell Him a lot of things i never did before... yes i'm enjoying this ALONE time... soaking in His presence... with my earthly eyes closed... i'm learning to open my spiritual eyes to see the bigger picture... and understand His plan... and submit to His will. oh how my soul longs for such a time as this.

i could ramble on and on... but my eyes are already tearing up... screaming for rest. so until next time, you my sweet friends... take care...

In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

All things work together for good to them that love Him 

and are called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28

thank you so much for taking time out to pay me a visit. it means a LOT to me..:)

i'll see y'all SOON... Blessings!!

Love,

Ruth
