Hi all and good Monday morning to you. It’s a little cloudy here today which is a bummer since it was sunny and beautiful yesterday. But God is good and His Son shines brightly all the time!
So I wanted to share this little treasure with you… it’s a miracle found in a book I admit I don’t read often enough…
2 Kings 4:5-6 “So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons who brought the vessels to her and she poured it out. Now it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said to her son ‘bring me another vessel’ and he said to her ‘there is not another vessel’ so the oil ceased.”
This woman and her sons were very poor and had debts that they could not afford to pay. A man of God instructed her to gather many many vessels to hold the abundance of oil that he knew God would provide. The oil just kept flowing until there were no more vessels. Now don’t miss the fact that the vessel supply ran out BEFORE the oil did. God pours out and only stops when we have no more vessels to hold the oil as it were. When we fill ourselves with the word of God (His oil) then we have an overflow to fill other vessels (other people). Now only God can fill people, but we may be the flask He chooses to pour from.
Fill your flask (your heart) and let God pour onto others from your flask.
This is Me
Hi, I’m Cyndi! I am a wife to a wonderful God-fearing man for almost twenty years. I am a mom to an ambitious comedic eighteen-year-old son and a spirited fun-loving sixteen-year-old daughter. I love to cook, create anything I can think of to make, talk and visit with friends and even strangers, and of course I love to write. Along with the writing, I love to read what other people write as well. I would love to live in the south somewhere but for now I live more in the suburbs of a town in Michigan. Oh yeah… and I’m almost blind. This means that I have to do things a little differently. It takes a little more time and a little more patience to get things done, but they get done. I was told of my eye disease when I was nine years old. At forty-four, they still cannot diagnose what I have for certain. However, I won’t sit still while they try and figure it out. Each day brings different challenges and some of the same as well. Navigating new territory is the most difficult thing for me to do, but I refuse to be held back and take the chance on missing out on an exciting new adventure. My bucket list holds adventures like parasailing, visiting Ireland, having at least one book published, and I’m sure there are more that I haven’t listed yet. Painting word pictures is my therapy and sanctuary. I use life as my brushes and paint. Lite me a candle, put on the spa music and a-writing I will go. Come on this journey with me, I hope you can find some new colors you like.
