Just as there was a break between the last post and this, so there is a break between the narrative between 22 and 23. Christmas was good, despite what some feel was a setback in the food. I thought it was ok. The presents were also good - it hit needs and wants. The people I shared it with was great! Nearly 40 people came and hopefully enjoyed themselves and were blessed. On the eve, I got to meet my niece's prospective in-laws and that was a good and meaningful time. Good people. The service on Sunday was good since the whole family participated. Prayer service was good and dinner at Juniors was good (especially the dessert). West Side Story was fair but the snow was NOT good. We got 25 inches and made it home Sunday night with the Lord's providence - the last train to Edison and the truck did the rest. I praise God for the family bonding and our efforts to clean the driveway and be Jesus to our neighbors.
Joshua's reminder to the Israelite leaders comes at the end of his life. Keep on the narrow and hold fast to the Lord and his ways. Anything else will be disastrous. He reminded them that one can defeat a thousand if the Lord is on your side. Very similar to Jesus when he said if we had the faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. How true yet how distant...
As I heard someone say over the radio, it's not just about believing, Jesus wants your heart as well.
