Waterfalls

I love waterfalls!  You probably do too.  There is something so incredibly soothing in the myriad of sounds that causes me to be at peace.  I can feel my shoulder muscles let go of the tension that I'm not even aware they're holding onto.  Even my mind lets go of its tumbling thoughts, racing to and fro.  As though listening to an orchestra, I begin to focus on individual sounds, as though they were instruments, each playing their own part.  It isn't long before I feel refreshed and relieved and restored.  Waterfalls are like mini vacations!

There's Just Something About That Name

As I was reading through some posts on Facebook, I came across one in which the author said, "I just love saying the name of Jesus!" As I read that, my heart was touched, and I started to wonder how long it had been since I felt that way myself. I remember the power and assurance and faith that just saying His name evoked in me. Nothing was impossible and no fear too threatening and no night too dark. There is power in His name, and how easily I have allowed myself to be burdened with the challenges of life and have forgotten that power.

I began to sing, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there's just something about that name. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain. Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there's something about that Name." I felt His calming peace come over me again as my anxieties drained away. So simple, so easy, so peaceful. There is something about His name!

Thank You, Jesus, for being the Name above all names!
