God’s Guidance



This excerpt is from my favorite devotional book called
HUGS Daily Inspirations Words of Comfort
A Howard Books product: ISBN – 978-1-4165-4181-3

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Psalm 37:23 NLT

God is intensely interested in your life, your faith, and your future. And He will guide your steps if you let Him. When you sincerely offer heartfelt prayers to your heavenly Father, He will give direction and meaning to your life. If you humbly seek His will, He will touch your heart and lead you on the path of His choosing.

Will you trust God to guide your steps? When you entrust your life to Him completely and without reservation, God will give you the strength to meet any challenge, the courage to face any trial, and the wisdom to live in His righteousness and in His peace. So trust Him today and seek His guidance. When you do, you can take each step with faith and confidence.

A spiritual discipline is necessary in order to move slowly from an absurd to an obedient life, from a life filled with noisy worries to a life in which there is some free inner space where we can listen to our God and follow His guidance. – Henri Nouwen

Aunt Sadie’s Rosemary scented candle










Photos taken by me - copyright Jan. 2012.

Over the recent holidays, a friend gave me an Aunt Sadie’s Rosemary scented candle http://www.auntsadiesinc.com/ purchased from this store http://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-kcavanaugh/StoreFront.bok .












The candle continues to offer a wonderful aroma each time I light it and I am really looking forward to visiting Bella Funk and New Hampshire one day!




Bonus: I found this poem about candle light recently:




CANDLE LIGHT




A candle's but a little thing --


It starts with just a bit of string.


Yet clipped and dipped with patient hand,


It gathers wax upon the strand.


Until, complete and snowy white,


It gives at last a lovely light.


Life seems so like that bit of string --


Each deed we do, a simple thing.


Yet day by day, if on life's strand,


We work with patient heart and hand,


It gathers joy, makes dark days bright,


And gives at last a lovely light.
