Our place of safety....

There are times when we are confronted with such a mix of emotions as we live and share life with each other.  We all experience that from time to time.  This past week has been one of those in our life where we shared tears and laughter, sorrow and joy, sickness and health, worry and relief, adventure and routine.  
Some of our week in review...  

• Sharing lunch with a dear Christian friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer.  
• Digging into God's Word with our Sunday night care group.  
• Bringing a meal to a home where a dear loved one just died and sit with the family.
• Connecting with family and friends at a funeral.
• Counselling a young couple who are getting married.
• Playing games and having supper with a couple of kids we are mentoring.
• Taking our car in to the mechanic to replace a very worn wheel bearing.
• Meeting with our weekly prayer group.
• Planning our next Creator's Talking Circle kids club with our team members.
• Surprising a young lady at her bridal shower.
• Hearing about a friend's son who had a serious accident and who is in a drug induced coma in hospital.
• Praying for our friend Sandra today, who had another surgery to fix the bone flap that was removed.
• Clearing more snow from the driveway again.
• Cutting wood for the bonfire we hope to build when we go sledding with the kids on Saturday.
• Getting the hot cocoa and hot dogs ready for our fun in the snow.
• Not to mention phone calls, e-mails and paperwork that need attention.

Isn't it a comfort to know that we can trust God with whatever life brings to us?  He is our hope, our rock, our place of security and safety.  Be at peace and rest in God.


   Psalm 62:5-8

 5 I will find my rest in God alone.

      He is the One who gives me hope. 

 ⁶ He alone is my rock. He is the One who saves me. 
      He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure. 
 ⁷ I depend on God to save me and to honor me. 
      He is my mighty rock. He is my place of safety. 
 ⁸ Trust in him at all times, you people. 
      Tell him all of your troubles. 
      God is our place of safety.
