Uh-oh, Meg, I see a new washing machine with a big red bow on it for your Christmas present! :) Get busy, Pistov! (Are you really *new* new at FR just today - or just a new name?) Inquiring minds want to know.
(though you *have* given me an idea that I might can work into next Tuesday. Thanks, Luvbo! :)
Well....I just stumbled into it, so to speak. When deadhead was telling me about her decorations. Maybe next year...

When I'm Afraid
Read:
|
David fled from the home of the priests in Nob with Saul in hot pursuit. He made his way to Gath, the home of his enemies, where he was instantly recognized and brought before King Achish.
David's fame was celebrated everywhere in story and song. He had slain thousands of Philistines (1 Samuel 21:11), a reputation established at the expense of bereaved Philistine women and children. Here was an opportunity to take revenge.
David lost his nerve. In terror, he "pretended madness . . . , scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard" (v.13). Achish dismissed him with contempt: "Shall this fellow come into my house?" (v.15). Broken and utterly humiliated, David fled to Adullam in Judah. Close by was a hill honeycombed with caves. Into one of those holes he creptalone.
As he experienced the solitude of that cave, at the nadir of his life and surrounded by enemies, David began to reflect on God's tender, faithful love. "When I am afraid, I will trust in You," he wrote (Psalm 56:3). "You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle" (v.8).
Perhaps you're "in a cave" today. You too can say, "In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid" (v.11). David Roper
Loneliness is being unaware of the One who is with us everywhere.
As you may know...I'm one of Santa's pile-its...I'm working in the stable cleaning and pile'n it here and there. Old Fatboy has it in for me...that's why I'm usually...
