Teaching isn’t too hard, but Schlepping sound equipment IS. :-)

Mary Lou, I know you work hard moving all that big stuff and you are a tough and talented lady! Of course, you won’t say that about yourself so I am saying it for you! You can do more than this gal. Tell me, what all kind of instruments do you teach and goodness, how many students do you have? I hope you get paid well! You have to have nerves of steel some days just putting up with different types of students.

My piano teacher’s name was Mrs. Presley. I liked her because of Elvis’ name....LOL!

Precious young man with his baby. It makes me cry, too.

[luvie]

It is such a tender moment. Imagine having to go off and leave
your precious family in order to protect EVERYone’s precious families! *sniff*

[jaycee]

God Bless all of our Military and their families. That one is a real tear jerker for me. We need to give thanks to our Military every day of our lives. They serve and sacrifice so much to keep all of us safe. I love’em all!

Forced Leisure
March 5, 2013

Just before Christmas one year, a friend was diagnosed with leukemia and was told she must begin chemotherapy immediately. Just a few weeks earlier, Kim had told friends how blessed and content she felt with a loving family, a comfortable home, and a new grandson. As she entered the hospital, Kim asked Jesus to make His presence known to her and to stay close.

The next 7 months of treatments followed by recovery in partial isolation became a season she calls “forced leisure.” She says she learned how to slow down, reflect quietly, and rest in God’s goodness, love, and perfect plan—regardless of whether or not she would be healed.

One of God’s promises to His people Israel became personal to Kim: “The Lord your God . . . will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing” (Zeph. 3:17).

Kim is in remission after a journey she says changed her life for the better. Now back in her busy routine, she often pauses to recapture the lessons of “forced leisure.”

How important that we—in good times or times of challenge—draw near to God’s loving heart to hear His voice and place our lives in His hands.

A troubled heart, a wearied mind
Are burdens hard to bear;
A lack of peace, a heavy load
Are lifted by God’s care. —Fitzhugh

People are at the heart of God’s heart.

Read: Zephaniah 3:14-20

The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. —Zephaniah 3:17

Bible in a Year:
Numbers 34-36; Mark 9:30-50
