12/14/16 THE FOREST AND THE CHRISTMAS TREES

  

Today someone shared with me that she can no longer manage decorating for Christmas.  So I mentioned to her that I gave our Christmas tree away a few years ago for the same reason and replaced it with a little forest of 5 small trees all different sizes.  They are decorated with little teddy bears and they sit in by the wood stove in the room that has all my teddy bears.  Then at Christmas I can easily carry them into the living room and then just plug in.

   

DECEMBER INSERTS STAY SIMPLE

 

12/014/16 STAY SIMPLE

Calm.  Winter’s approach.  Hush.  Stay simple.  Organized.  Wrestling. Why are you working?  You don’t have to live there.  … This is a relationship.  So trust Me and lean.  My load is light and easy, you know that. 

 

12/016/16 RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES!

Stay calm.  A mountain.  Lay low.  It’s not yours to climb.  An Ever Ready battery.  Recharge.  Plug in. Sent one.  What is the simple truth?  Rest.  Do not be afraid.  Stay plugged in.  Watch. 

 

CONFIRMATION REQUEST:

Today someone asked me a question about the following graphic: 

 

12/08/16 STAY SIMPLE – NO TO COMPLICATED LIFE

Stay simple.  You don’t need a complicated life.  Easy does it.  I saw a wheelbarrow being lifted up and moving.  Event list. Easy does it.  Load.

 

Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 

12/09/16 STAY SIMPLE NOT COMPLEX

Calm.  Stay calm.  Do you trust Me?  Stay simple, not complex.  Simple is not necessarily small.  It’s easy to understand.  Not overloaded. Themes.  Stay on track. 

 

Did you want to stay up late?  It’s overload, you need to rest.  Be good to yourself.  I saw an otter floating on its back.  Carried.

 

FUN CONFIRMATION: CAN’T SEE THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES

Immediately after that I turned to this Word to Ponder:

 

CAN’T SEE THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES
Sometimes you are WAY too close to your circumstances, so that you cannot see My overall plan and how you fit. I have planted you as My trees of righteousness and My work is to grow you up. Beloved ones, try to look beyond your present circumstances and see the overall perspective of what I am planting into the earth today. Change your focus on what is staring you in the face and back up a tad so that you can see things in a different light. Take comfort precious ones, I will use that which has fallen to rebuild the desolation of many generations. My forest is teeming with life and I use everything together for good for those that love Me.

 

Isa 61:2-4 NKJV
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness ,The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” 4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.

 

WORD PUN:  FOREST = For Rest.
