Soul Kitchen

After 3 weeks of not being able to go to church and the craziness of Christmas it's easy to forget to give God all the glory for every day. We've had sick kids in the house and a busy week with Christmas dinners, etc. We don't make a huge deal about Christmas but keep things simple for our kids. Just being out and about each day with family or friends can be exhausting.

I'm feeling a little thirsty spiritually and long to fellowship in church again and just have everyone back to themselves. I needed to point my eyes back to Jesus and remind myself to accept things I cannot change, to ask God for courage to change the things I can, and for wisdom to know the difference. I had this poem go through my head quite a bit today and when I googled it I found the rest of the poem very interesting and enlightening. I had never read the rest of the poem before. What powerful words and my prayer is that they'll speak as loudly to you as they did to me.

"A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but the heartache crushes the spirit." ~ Proverbs 15:13
