At last I'm catching up with my way overdue "musings"
This last while has been filled with travel, travel and more travel and then meetings and more meetings!... A friend once said to me "when all else fails... have a meeting!" ...and how easy it is to fall into that trap of business and doing... and how quickly I forget the desires of my heart - "to only do the things I see my Father doing".. sometimes that's easier said than done.I was reading in Numbers 15 and God tells Moses to give some very clear instruction to the Isrealites - to make tassles on the end of their garments with blue thread, and the reason behind this? - to remind them of Gods commands to them and to be sure to obey them - and by so doing be set apart for God.and then...I rememberedin all the hectic pace of life I'm so quick to forget God and His passionate love for me - to forget to invite precious Holy Spirit into every part of my day.So, I went through my box of jewellery and found a beautiful blue ring I inherited from my mum and have decided to wear it this month.In CS Lewis' book " The Silver Chair" Aslan tells Jill to "remember the signs!"My desire for this month? Every time I look at my blue ring to remember...- Gods immeasurable power and saving grace,to receive His love - to include Holy Spirit ...24/7- to remember the signsmy blue tassle?mums ring!how are you going to REMEMBER??
