What’s in a Photograph

Posted on by

Sometimes when we see photographs of another person’s journey, we get that I wish I was there feeling; not out of envy but of keen interest. A friend’s visit to the Holy Land prompted such a feeling in me.

Chapter Twenty-Six  –  What’s in a Photograph?

She was a sales rep for a company selling beautiful posters, and I saw her in my gift shop on a regular basis.

It soon became evident that we had a common bond in spiritual interests. Her name was Jennifer, and she had just returned from a vacation in Jerusalem, the Holy City.

Before her trip, Jennifer promised to bring back photos, and true to her word, she arrived at the shop with a stack of pictures for me to see.

I listened to her description of each interesting photo, but one in particular appeared to be just a hole in a cave.

As I held the picture, waves of tingling energy surged up and down my arms…….

….the hair on my body stood on end. (Job 4:15)

Give Me a Break

Posted on by

We sometimes need a break from the overload of our daily agendas. When I became so overwhelmed, I actually prayed to get a break from it all.

Chapter Twenty-Five  –  Give Me a Break

While shopping one evening, I spied a book with the title, Slow Me Down Lord. I promptly bought it, enjoyed reading it, and made that my daily prayer.

Not long afterwards, I slipped on the lunchroom floor at work, and landed flat on my back. The pain was excruciating! X-rays showed a fractured tailbone. The treatment was to stay off my feet, and complete rest for two weeks; doctor’s orders¾ or God’s?

“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
