Marriage and a prayer experience...........complete.

A story about "What Christ in a marriage can do through real intimacy."
"And they shall become one flesh"..........
Yesterday Elise A. Cavasin and I finished up a particularly grueling stint on the retaining wall project and were both exhausted beyond words. As we looked for a way to relax a cold drink and pool side chair came to mind. Elise set up the chairs and I readied the beverages. Soon we were pool side cooling down and chatting about what we could do next. We fell upon the idea of pulling back the pool cover and taking a dip to assuage our tired bodies, maybe a few laps or just some float time. We chose both and soon we were chasing each end of the pool then floating in the sun talking about how blessed we have been and the many Divine interventions we have had in our lives especially the past few years. The hour and a half soon past and we needed some nourishment so dinner was next at hand.
Having prepared some salad and left overs we held hands and bowed to "pray a blessing on the fare."
That's when the beginning of this post became "a Divine Intervention."
We had just finished talking about all the blessings we have received and I started offering the blessing prayer for the food and "it happened."
I started out praising God and Thanking Him for His immeasurable blessings, Elise joined in and soon we were overcome by "His presence." As prayer was to be made "in the name of Jesus" I began to weep in my spirit "praying quietly to God in the Holy Ghost", words not being found to speak and express the gratitude we had in our hearts for all His goodness to us. As the verbal pause became longer Elise took over and started to pray and finished the prayer, "help meet" becomes comforter, man and woman become one in the flesh and in the spirit, prayer offered completed by both husband, wife and Holy Spirit, Gods perfect design blessed beyond measure, completed in prayer, "God in us the hope of Glory."
I truly believe that this was God's intentioned plan for man and woman in the union of marriage made complete in Him.
This "Divine intervention" was no less powerful than the most beautiful of all the miracles that we have seen to date.
Where God is there is Love, Joy and Peace in the Holy Spirit, whether at service, in your prayer closet, blessing a meal, or any time He meets you where you are.
Have a blessed day.

New week how are we going to start?

To all those who are reading this here is something to think about:
You just made it through another week O'Life, and in your reflections back over that week you need to ask yourself "did I make a difference this week?"
This could be to others, could be in offering something that helped out materially, could be an attitude?
What ever you did or didn't do, willingly or not, is now set in the concrete of time and cannot be taken back or changed in its original format.
So?
Today starts another "week" anew.
Whats it going to be?
Positive? Negative? Loving? Rude? Self seeking? Seeking to help others by thought, word, or deed?
Now is a good time to make the resolution to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Your week starts here and "today is the day if you hear My voice harden not your hearts." If we listen to God daily we will have a "productive week" both physically and spiritually and "be a blessing to many." Your wife or husband will appreciate it, your children will run to see you, your co-workers will admire your attitude, and your boss will find you an invaluable asset to the work field.
Yes today is the day lets start this week anew full of faith that we can make a difference. Remember that the world changes one person at a time and you can only effect "those whom God has put around you". If you are not responsible in the little things who will entrust unto you greater things?
Responsibility resides in the moment but is shown effective over a lifetime.
"Love one another, for love covers a multitude of sins and never fails."
Today your feet are in the starting blocks to do good this week and "redeem the time for the days are evil".
The starting gun is in the air and the shot ready to go off.
My starting blocks are pointed toward starting this week with church serves's. That way I know that I am starting off on the right foot and in the right direction.
You?
Love in Christ
