One day, we walked around Brixham harbor. It was chilly and windy. The seagulls provided a nice soundtrack. After our walk, we sat down at the lovely Old Market House and had coffee and juice.

      I am not drinking caffeine right now, so I ordered juice. I like how they named the brand J2O.

“It shall come to pass in that day
That I will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.

 

The earth shall answer
With grain,
With new wine,
And with oil;
They shall answer Jezreel.
 


Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth,
And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
Then I will say to those who were not My people,
‘You are My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’”


Hosea 2:21-23 

Christmas day was clear in the morning, but in the late afternoon it poured with rain. We had a wonderful time with our relatives at Bovey Castle having a special five course lunch that my Uncle arranged. We left the warmth of a crackling fire inside the castle and ran in the rain to the cars. 

I had just read these verses in Hosea on December 24. Instead of being ungrateful for the rain and the inconvenience of getting wet, the Lord reminded me of this verse. When the Lord answers us it is always a blessing. Even if He does not answer the way we would like. 
I am still learning this!  

I hope you all had special times and made memories with your families over Christmas time.

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...
