 Blessings

 Good Morning!  I just love this Autumn picture taken by cousin/photographer Scott Holmes.  He captioned it "Leaf it there."

 I love pictures of nature, so beautiful.  Sometimes when looking at them, they inspire me with a message.  This photo says to me....Give it to Jesus and 'leaf ' it there.  The hard times, the difficult times,  for the I don't know what to do times that we try and tackle ourselves.  In fact, I just discovered there is a song titled, "Give it to Jesus and Leave it Alone" by The Sensational Nightingales.  It has a catchy little tune, click on the link and give it a listen.

Here is a lyric from the song......"When I try and do things on my own, they seem to always turn out wrong so I'm gonna give it to Jesus and leave it alone."

Special Music:  "God is in this Story" by Katy Nichole and Big Daddy Weave

Lyrics for  "God is in this Story"

 by Katy Nichole and Big Daddy Weave 

 

There's torn up pages in this book

 Words that tell me I'm no good

 Chapters that defined me for so long

 But the hands of grace and endless love

 Dusted off and picked me up

 Told my heart that hope is never gone

 Chorus: 

God is in this story

 God is in the details

 Even in the broken parts

 He holds my heart, He never fails

 When I'm at my weakest

 I will trust in Jesus

 Always in the highs and lows

 The One who goes before me

 God is in this story

 So if the storm you're walking through

 Feels like it's too much and you

 Wonder if He even cares at all

 Well, hold on tight to what you know

 He promised He won't let you go

 Your song of healing's written in His scars

 Chorus

 If it reads like addiction

 If it reads like disease

 He's the One who frees the prisoner

 He's the healer of all things

 If it reads like depression

 If it reads broken home

 He's the One who holds your sorrow

 He won't leave you here alone

 Chorus

 God is in this story (you're in this story)

 God is in my story (right here in my story

 

All the way my Savior Leads Me

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
