PONDERING PREPOSITIONS

An entry for wordsmiths to ponder---prepositions for a pandemic.
Prepositions for a life with Jesus!
Prepositions are important.  Prepositions Connect. Connection is relational as are prepositions.
"Journal Jottings" show a bit of info I gleaned from pondering, Handley Moule's words in A Morning of Faith and Devotion.....though he never even used the word preposition.
I believe on the name of the Son of God, ....I am in HIM, having redemption through HIS blood and life by HIS Spirit....HE is in ME, and all fullness is in HIM.......To HIM I belong by purchase.....to me, HE belongs, for all my hourly need. (deletion/compilation & emphasis mine)
My jumbled jottings are a way to help my pondering as I seek to know Him in all His fullness today!


For wordsmith grammar nerds wanting to pass on info to kids or grands.........
try Elizabeth O'Brien' s "Preposition song".

CHOOSE: PONDERING ON THE PATIO

Sanctuary---a sacred place of sorts. My patio is such a spot when neighbors aren't out, hubby's not home and extraneous noises are kept at bay. A place to think and ponder on "Meditation Monday."
This morning was such a time. (Psalm 5:3) A time when I pondered my saying, "I don't have time" as a sign I'm running on my own schedule and not God's. Think frantic, frustrated, and harried.
"There is always enough time to do the will of God." (E. Elliott, Discipline, p. 99)
Frustration is NOT the will of God, I know that. I just don't live like I know that.

Choosing to "ponder" on the patio has allowed me to put my time in His hands. How refreshing!
