The waves just keep coming

There is a pause in the rain this morning here in Colorado. Our beloved sunshine has returned. And the blue sky that comes with it. The trees seem happy about it, too, as they wiggle their leaves in the fresh breeze. There are pools of water everywhere.

Ann Voskamp brings the perspective I need.

There is only one gift — the one ocean of Christ that falls as rain over us in a thousand ways.

Christ is the offering and salvation is the gift and repentance is what makes us recipients of grace.

Christ is the gift. Christ is the bridge Home. Christ is our joy. How can I forget this, ever stop giving thanks for Him alone?

Happiness is not getting something — but being given to Someone.

Communion with God is possible anywhere.

A million little things will happen this week — and there are always really only Two Choices: You get to decide whether you want to Complain. Or whether you want Communion.
