Words to Live By...


I saw a quote the other day by John Ortberg that I really liked. He said "Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat."

It's such a comfort to know that we don't have to weather the storms of life alone. Jesus is more than happy to do the navigating...and even asks that we let Him!

Otberg certainly had it right. There isn't a lake that stays calm; there is a Jesus who will sustain us. Blessings to you, Linda.

Just this morning when a got to feeling sorry for myself and more than a little overwhelmed at our situation, I open this up, and even though I read it on FB last night, to see the picture was a great visiual for me and I appreciate it. Great thing for a Sabbath morning!
