Soaking in the Sun

I was looking back over my journal and thought this was very nice on Nov 4th. I was reading Andrew Murray "Waiting on God"

I really like the analogy by Andrew Murray that waiting on God is like sitting outside and soaking in the sun. It isn't something we feel or experience so much as just absorb. We absorb God's holiness and his strength by just basking in his presence. We don't have an expectation of what he is going to do to us or for us or say or reveal or even how we will feel. We just bask in his presence and rest in simple trust and faith that he is working in our spirits, in our souls, deep in our inner being. Resting, not struggling, not analyzing, resting, absorbing, listening, worshipping, through faith, because he is holy. Like turning your face toward the sun on a nice Spring day after a long and cold winter.

May you soak in time with God today my dear friends!

Our puppies are now 10 weeks old and will start going to their loving homes this weekend. This has been such a sweet adventure. Crazy sometimes, six puppies can poop a lot and chew on everything but we have managed by keeping them confined to the kitchen, dining room and family room area of the house. They also figured out how to use the doggie door just by watching their parents. Now they run in and out and romp and play. We will miss our little brood!
