I hope
you’ll pull up a chair and make yourself comfy while I’ll pour us a
cuppa tea. Imaginary tea, after all, is always special.
How was your weekend?
We headed to the NC mountains, my favorite place to be. The cottage where we stay transforms to an oasis. The clock goes on strike, the cookies have no calories, the air goes easy on these asthmatic lungs, and I feel a little closer to God. Yes, He is with me at all times but perhaps it’s the lack of distractions that gives me a greater sense of His presence.
Is there a place — in your garden, certain room in your home, or vacation spot where you sense God’s presence in a different way?
Abba God,
We praise You as our ever present Father!
Your omnipresence ushers in the knowledge
that You are always present through Your Holy Spirit within us. Always.
Regardless if we “feel” You or not,
You are here,
for we do not live by feelings, but faith.
Amen.
Father, will you steep Your Word deeply into our soul?
“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus is living in
you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal
bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you” Romans 8:11
Is there one particular word from the above scripture you feel led to “sip” on, to meditate on, throughout this week?
———————————–
This week, I’m focusing on the word “lives.” What are both the benefits and implications of His Spirit living in me?
Before
we bring our time to a close, consider one tangible way to “pour”
out His truth in response to the word(s) we’ve chosen above.
Thanks for stopping by today at Sharing Life Together…One Sip At A Time. Would you consider joining in the conversation by leaving your “word,” or a place where you feel closest to God, in the comment box? Blessings!
He
does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take
pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those
who wait for His lovingkindness. – See more at:

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Psalm 95:4-5

For the month of December, Brian and I are planning to eat dinner by candlelight.
The table setting is simple and the food is far from fancy, but eating by candlelight slows down our pace and quiets the room, inviting prayer and good conversation to join us at the table.

#highpastures Christian Retreat Center provided a beautiful background for the #RidgewoodGreer women’s retreat this weekend, and the retreat team set a tone of togetherness that will linger long after we catch up with laundry and return to our routines.
Thank you @emilymhoffman @kgslice @shannycanny @caseyemarkham @smplumblee @abigail_stubelt Beth Martin, our small group leaders, and all those who prayed behind the scenes. Most of all, I’m grateful for our Heavenly Father, who blessed us through the teaching of His Word, community, laughter, prayer, and ways we may not realize this side of heaven. God is good and gracious to us all. 💗
