I wrote this some time ago - when I was challenged to pray in every situation - even the everyday ordinary things we do.
I will take my shower this night
In the presence of my God, that's right!
As I wash away the toil of day
Lord, come and cleanse my sin away!
Refresh, restore my whole being
And the souls I have been seeing!
Make us clean in your sight
Oh, great God of might!

Great quote
If our greatest need had been information,
God would have sent us an educator.
If our greatest need had been technology,
God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money,
God would have sent us an economist.
If our greatest need had been pleasure,
God would have sent us an entertainer.....
but our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Saviour."

Folded cloth
John 20:6 & 7
"Simon Peter arrived after him, entered the tomb, observed the linen cloths lying there, and the kerchief used to cover his head not lying with the linen cloths but separate, neatly folded by itself."
Why neatly folded?
When dining as a guest in a Hebrew home, it was the customary tradition at the completion of the meal for the guest to either crumble up his napkin indicating the meal was good and he would gladly return again for another meal or to neatly fold his napkin showing displeasure with the meal and the decision he would never come that way again.
Could it be that when Jesus folded his head covering He was saying, I will never pass this way again!

Peace on earth
Jewish Prayer for Peace
Come let us go up the mountain of the Lord, that we may walk the paths of the Most High. And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares, and our spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation-- neither shall they learn war any more. And none shall be afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken.

The Christmas Baby!
Well, my thoughts are well and truly focused on Christmas - I seem to breathe Christmas!!!
I had this most incredible 'moment' the other day - I was holding a new born baby boy - well he was 6 days old - and as I held this baby boy I thought of Jesus being this tiny - this vulnerable - this adorable - this perfect - this amazing little human with a whole lifetime before him.
It just blows my mind to think that the Son of God became a tiny baby boy - that he gave up being with his father and heaven to come and be one of us - to experience it all right from the very beginning of life!
What must it have been like for Mary? Joseph? the extended family?
Thank you God for allowing me to hold this precious child - thank you for the insights that came with the cuddle!
