Hi!
Hi!
Bible in a Year:
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
For some months now I’ve been corresponding with a young man who’s thinking deeply about faith. On one occasion he wrote, “We’re no more than teeny, tiny, infinitesimal blips on the timeline of history. Do we matter?”
Moses, Israel’s prophet, would agree: “Our days . . . quickly pass, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:10). The brevity of life can worry us and cause us to wonder if we matter.
We do. We matter because we’re deeply, eternally loved by the God who made us. In this poem, Moses prays, “Satisfy us . . . with your unfailing love” (v. 14). We matter because we matter to God.
We also matter because we can show God’s love to others. Though our lives are short, they’re not meaningless if we leave a legacy of God’s love. We’re not here on earth to make money and retire in style, but to “show God” to others by showing them His love.
And finally, though life here on earth is transient, we’re creatures of eternity. Because Jesus rose from the dead, we’ll live forever. That’s what Moses meant when he assured us that God will “satisfy us in the morning with [His] unfailing love.” On that “morning” we’ll rise to live and love and be loved forever. And if that doesn’t create meaning, I don’t know what does.
When have you struggled with wondering if your life counts? How does Psalm 90 help?
I’m grateful, loving God, that I matter to You. Help me to share You with others.
You are down to earth and quite practical. You are pretty content with what life has to offer. You don't seek out novelty, but you are open to new experiences. You like most people and most things. You are a big fan of comfort. You love to feel warm and cozy, and you love to share your favorite comforts with those around you. You are a generous friend and a welcoming person. You are polite to the point of being a little old fashioned.
I miss German food, bratwurst included!
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
I am Bratwurst too!
((((I thought I was probably a well-endowed barmaid in a peasant blouse and dirndl skirt, but who knew?))))
You should have been. LOL! But bratwurst...mmmmm!
I have been bratty all my life! :-)
Hi Luv.
Sez here this week that I need to listen to Eddie Van Halen out of respect. And maybe hoist a beverage in his direction.
You Are Music
You are social, convivial person. You enjoy being in the company of others, at least some of the time.
You enjoy a good scene, and you like being out and about - even if you aren’t talking to anyone. And good tunes always help.
You tend to wear your heart on your sleeve, and you are never afraid of expressing a little emotion. If you feel it, you let it out.
You live in the moment and enjoy whatever is going on around you. You try not to have any worries; it’s all good!
Ich bin PRETZELS
I’m a bier. My favorite beer while stationed in Hesse in Germany was Edel Pils. Here in the states I buy usually Warsteiner or Bitberg Pils bier, with an occasional St. Pauli Girl, and “Pilsner Urquell” from Pilsen in the Czech Republic.
Gute! Excellent choice. Those huge soft pretzels with salt. Yum!
