Suffering With Joy

Sabbath Moments

September 4, 2010

Sabbath Moments is a meme hosted by Colleen at Thoughts on Grace. Visit her to read how bloggers rest in the Lord, forsaking the madness of the world every now and then.

Last week I couldn’t post, so I’m including from both this week and then.

1.  Last week I read Imaculeé Illibagiza’s books Led By Faith: Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide and Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust on how she survived the genocide in Rwanda. They are powerful lessons on forgiveness and the miracles God works for those with faith and I am still pondering how it applies to my own life.  I have them in Barb’s Custom Shop and the prices are very good.

2.  Writing the post Christ and the Rich Meaning of “Amen” afforded me hours with God, the great AMEN who revealed Himself to us most fortunate men in the Person of Christ.  Sometimes I am overwhelmed with His love and wish I didn’t have to do another thing in this world but think on Him.

3.  Sharing a week’s harvest of asparagus beans with my neighbor who has 6 homeschooled kids and hearing how much the family likes them.  In turn she gave me a can of Ranch style beans and told how she uses them to make nachos.  This was a real blessing because our meatless Fridays always present a challenge for me, given that hubby won’t eat fish.

Sabbath moments come in many ways and very often if we open our eyes and hearts to them. They bring peace and joy in daily living.

V.  Praised be Jesus Christ!

R.  Now and forever.  Amen.

   Asparagus beans? Didn’t know there were such things. But they’re bound to be very healthy, I’m sure. Have a blessed Labor Day weekend!

   Great list! I read Left to tell. Very moving and inspiring. Love your sharing with your neighbor and receiving a gift! Those nachos sound good! And AMEN to number 2!

   Evan, you must have missed my previous posts on my adventures with asparagus beans. They are really yummy. Here’s the post with the most information: The Asparagus Bean Surprise III. I have enough seeds to share if people want to try planting them next year.

   Weren’t Immaculee’s books excellent, Barb?! I really enjoyed them. I hope you’re doing well.
   In my house it’s me who’s not the fish fan. I like bean dishes though and eat them often throughout the year.
   I’m off to peek at your Amen post
