King David of Israel

I am waking up at 3 am
Insomnia happens!
I realized I was thinking of King David.
He ran from Saul, when he had slain Goliath. I figured out that he was choosing not to win the war with King Saul because he chose not to kill the King of Israel. He could have ascended the throne quickly by doing so. Yet he was choosing God's time for his becoming the King. How beautiful to wait on God's timing!
What are you waiting on?

Brightness adjustment

What story keeps you from God?
Begin with each religious person you know and change the way you look at that person.
Today, for me that is the story of Jonah who had compassion on the tree but not on people. May compassion come to me now and may it bring it's blessing fully in this moment.
Let all bitterness depart. Let love reign.
MEM

Kindness

I have been thinking about God's kindness. How bread is so good. Yet we give up this good thing and then we enjoy it again!
How wise is God. His ways are good, and we can be kind like God. How interesting.
May today be a day of compassion and goodness for all who read these
Words of blessing!

My favorite birds

Signs of spring

Jasmine blooms early and I worry about the buds if the frost comes. Keeping my fingers crossed for no cold weather
