Taste and See

Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it...

'Take, eat; this is My body." Matt. 26:26

Before I remember, I examine.

Do I seek only Living Bread? Does He completely satisfy me? 
Do I seek leaven instead of He who knew none? 

'I am the Bread of Life' John 6:48
Jesus, let me feed on nothing but You.
'You shall set the shewbread on the table
before Me always.'  Exodus 25:30
Examine me, Oh Bread of Presence... afflicted and wounded One...face of the LORD;
that You might gaze upon me...that I might 
enjoy your presence. 

Taste and see for the LORD is good...Psalm 34:8.

'If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.' John 6:51 

Drink from the Cup of Grace

The more I seek you,

The more I find you.

The more I find you, the more I love you.

I wanna sit at your feet,

Drink from the cup in your hand,

Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat.

This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.

I melt in your peace; it's overwhelming. Zach Neese

Pause and drink from His cup...

He poured out his life unto death...Isaiah 53:12

a drink offering for our sins...

This is my blood of the covenant

which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 26:28

Remember Me...

In Search of a Good Book

Rainy Saturdays beckon a good read and the Montague Bookmill may just provide the perfect escape. It is definitely on my "have to visit" list. This quaint bookstore is housed in an old gristmill on the Sawmill River in Montague, Massachusetts (just north of Amherst.)

Susan's bookmill whets any bibliophile's appetite for an afternoon of searching the stacks and

her website coaxes sightseers to plan the day sampling the other offerings as well: an antique shop, art studio, movie night.

The Lady Killigrew cafe and The Night Kitchen restaurant look just as inviting!

Check out Alison Morris' photo tour as well.

Enough advertising...Pemberley and Darcy are calling!

Satisfy Us

"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and

be glad all our days."  Psalm 90:1

Life noise begins all too soon and without a long drink of the Father early in the day, I find myself dehydrated by the cacophony.

 

"O LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning..." Isa. 33:2

Thank You for One More Day

Layla Grace's parents thankful for one more day....one more day to embrace their precious daughter whose little two year old body is ravaged with cancer...one more chance to whisper their love...

Each morning God gives us the gift of a new day, a chance to start afresh.  "Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23

What will we do with this fresh mercy, this blank canvas?

LORD, thank you for one more day....

 Layla Grace  lost her courageous battle Tuesday, March 9th and is now with Jesus.

Please pray hard for the Marsh family.

Miss you, Sam

My sweet Sam, 
       You are the joy of my life!  My goodness, if you get any cuter, I think I'll burst!  Your granddaddy and I had so much fun taking you to the beach and the zoo this week. We miss you so much already and can't wait until you are back in our arms!  
                                                              Hugs and Kisses, Gigi
