I had another great weekend away with a couple of my
friends, Kelli and Debbie. Kelli's sister in law has a cabin
in Running Springs which is close to Big Bear CA.
We were at 6000 ft high and Big Bear City is close
to 8000. Anyways, we had a great time of fellowship.
Each of us did or own individual studies during our quiet time.
We did a lot of eating and lots of shopping.
Here I am relaxing with a cup of hot cocoa in my moose
cup. We wathced The Long Trailor with Lucy and Ricky Ricardo
and Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeves and Jayne Seymour
the next day we spen several hours shopping in Big Beat Village
and we had lunch at Boo Bear Cafe. Then we went rock hunting!
Once we got back to the cabin we unloaded our packages.Then
we did a craft-deocpauging a clear plate with fall leaves
and a scripture verse. We also dated our rocks for our gardens
Sunday morning we went to Rim Of the World Community Church. This was the message.Jesus has a burning desire to know us. Jesus has something special for us. We have something special for Jesus. It is bringing ourselves to Jesus just as we are. Jesus has a burning desire to love us. That is why He died for us. He suffered for us because we are worth it. Jesus finished the race for us and He wants us to finish the race for Him. He wants us to serve Him by serving others. Jesus was an ultimate example of being a servant.
He wants us to be in church Hebrews 6:10-11 What are we doing draw us closer to the Lord? Are we reaching out to others. What are we doing for Him? Is He the driving force in our life. Is He the burning desire of our heart? What is our prayer to Him? (Break in me anyting that resist your Will). We also had Communion=eucharist Giving thanks to God for His sacrifice. We will someday break bread with Jesus in heaven, our eternal home. Today as I was leaving work I was thiking about heaven and the Lord. Today I was also sharing with my friend Tammy about our mutual longing to be with God. Our spirits long for that eternal home. But we know that it is all in God's timing. I had fun this weekend while I was gone, but I had a reassuing peace as I was headed home. That is what it will be like for us someday when we are on our way home and we will say "It is good to be Home!" Hugs and blessings, Susan
