New Start For A Broken Heart May 21, 2015
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted.
Isaiah 61:1
The Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, is filled with anonymously donated remnants of love gone wrong. There is an axe that a jilted lover used to destroy the furniture of an offending partner. Stuffed animals, love letters framed in broken glass, and wedding dresses all speak volumes of heartache. While some visitors to the museum leave in tears over their own loss, some couples depart with hugs and a promise not to fail each other.
The Old Testament prophet Isaiah wrote, The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted (Isa. 61:1). When Jesus read from Isaiah 61 at the synagogue in Nazareth, He said, Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing (Luke 4:21). Extending far beyond help for an emotional wound, Isaiahs words speak of a changed heart and a renewed spirit that come by receiving Gods gift of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isa. 61:3).
All of us have experienced regret and broken promises in our lives. Whatever has happened, the Lord invites us to find healing, hope, and new life in Him.
Lord, You are the promise-keeping God who has said He will make all things new. Today we give You our ashes in exchange for Your beauty, our mourning for the joy of finding comfort in You. Thank You!
God can transform tragedies into triumphs.
: Todays Bible reading is a prophetic text that points to the arrival of the Messiah. It is not surprising, therefore, that in the synagogue of Nazareth Jesus selected a portion of this passage to announce His arrival and mission (Isa. 61:1-2). Luke 4:18-19 records for us this significant announcement rooted in Isaiahs ancient words. In the verbs used by Isaiah, we see the core of Christs work (preach, heal, proclaim), and in the nouns we find word-pictures of the needy people for whom He had come (poor, brokenhearted, captives, bound).

I stay away form water and sun because I sunburn and can not swim. It is good to have so many others that do not sunburn and can swim.
P.S. It snowed today again.
Paging Al Gore, paging Al Gore please pick up a white courtesy phone.

I never did go see "American Sniper" in the theater with Zach, so I bought the newly released DVD of it today and will watch tonight.
Watching it with Zach this weekend too.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Trains on time?
Our payroll is hung up and the powers that be don’t know what is wrong, so here we sit unable to do the final steps to print checks.

I am going to bed early tonight. It seems that sleep is the best thing for this miserable cold I have been suffering from. Good Night all!

Trains were on time today - the temp was down in the 60's so there were no speed restrictions on the rails.
I'm sorry to hear your payroll is hung up - a stone bummer as we used to say.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
The Star Spangled Banner Verse Four (Click)
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like to be admitted to or released from my music ping list.
