The Refreshing

God’s Spirit is refreshing my weary heart

Like a wind on a still, airless day

Like cool perfect water after a dry, parched time

Like the perfect new glasses when you haven’t seen clearly for so long

Like the sound of new birds tweeting in their nest when you have made it through the winter

Like life where there was death

Like hope where there was despair

Overflowing refreshing

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” – Jeremiah 31:25

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever – the Spirit of truth….you know him, for He lives with you and will be in you….the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” – John 14:16, 17, 26

Brrrr….

I don’t know how it’s feeling in your part of the world, but here in Virginia, it was 41 degrees F this morning.  I’m one of those people who don’t like to put on the heat before November….”just put on another sweater” kind of girl.  Mostly because I get a thrill out of getting a very low electric bill that month.  🙂  But this fireplace is looking really good right about now.  (Picture taken last week at Harvest festival at Graves’ Mountain.)  May God bless you today with warmth in your heart, and a constant fire of His Spirit.  Blessings, Lisa
