Little things I learned this week

Heaven is for Real!  a little book by Todd Burpo

"I'm a broken stone, place me in the house you're building..."  
a song by Audrey Assad

Sitting down; royalty sits, subjects stand.  
I am the daughter of a King; 
He is waiting for me to be still.

'Jesus said " Have the people sit down."'
They sat in groups of fifty or one hundred...find someone to sit with you.


.Don't believe everything you think.

"You must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. 
 Don't give it the time of day.  
 Don't even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life."
Romans 6:12 the msg

 ...running little errands?  ...giving sin a vote?

"...let's make a clean break from everything that distracts us, both within and out."
2 Corinthians 7:1 the msg

Be aware of your breathing. Breathe in.  Breathe out.  Just breathe...

"I say more: the man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his going graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is...
Christ.  For Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces."
                                                          Gerard Manley Hopkins
