Ex. 33&34;Psalm 16;Acts 9

Yesterday was really fun, hanging out with family really energizes me. I love that we all have individual lives and yet the coming together once in awhile really is fun and that the purpose is to have FUN...well what's not to love!
We finished our fast Saturday after a lovely ride. Love when the rare day comes in mid-winter and you get to get out and ride. The fast was an amazing way to 'feel' close to You and discovered or reaffirmed that time on the back of the bike can do that for me too. Dan and I call it shared solitude, each of us with our own thoughts and prayers. And then we got home and shared our first meal with some really good friends who we can be really honest with sharing the struggles and joys of the past 21 days and they can share theirs with us and then Small Group and we had communion and even a new couple...really looking back on the w/e I am blown away with all the JOY of it.
And then this morning to start my week w/Dan and I reading and sharing together...it's like I don't know what to do with all the blessings of my life.
Reading in Exodus about 'holding the sins of the Fathers against sons and grandsons even into fourth generations'....wondering if under the New Covenant that still holds...wondering about breaking patterns of behaviours in families? I pray we are ~ that Emma and Gabe and Millie and all the rest to come KNOW Jesus deeply and that KNOWING ...You 'owning and possessing' us we live FOR You and in that living more and more and more are drawn to You...seems too simple and yet simple is never easy.
