REST IN YOUR DONE

A lady sent me a precious Word. I had just finished creating/ designing the forum and was so tired and burnt out. I didn't think I had another Word left inside of me.

She said she heard the Lord say that I could rest in my DONE. That is a very precious secret Word joke to me. My sister in law adopted an autistic child from Romania. When she was young, she learned the word DONE when she was ready to get down from the table and somehow it transferred to other references. When she was totally spent and was totally through with her ability to cope with a situation, environment, car ride, or shopping, she would start saying, "Done, done, done, done, done!" It was darling.

This phrase caught on between Wayne and I. When we get overwrought with being out away from the house, we say, "Done!" And we know it is time to go home and rest. So I have been chuckling that the Lord has sent me our secret code Word that I could rest in my DONE. Isn't He precious??

WORD TO PONDER: REST IN YOUR DONE 11/08/05

When you complete a project, sometimes you just need to rest in your “done.” Maybe all you needed to do for the day was one simple task, but it was all that you could do and it took everything you had to do it. Precious ones, I have watched you drive yourselves for years, even over the smallest details, - simply because you are faithful.

Thank you for asking for My help and leaning on Me. You cannot live a life that is pleasing to Me, and be separated from Me. Moreover, when you are connected, it gives Me such pleasure to help you in your journey. I see all that you overcome in your daily life, and that you need to learn to give pause, rest and refreshment to your body, soul and spirit. Learn to take pleasure in the accomplishment of the most simple tasks, knowing that I AM with you and care for each and every detail, just as you do. All that you do gives Me great pleasure, because I so deeply value the cost of your faith and your effort.

Mark 12:42-44 NLT

Then a poor widow came and dropped in two pennies. He called his disciples to him and said, "I assure you, this poor widow has given more than all the others have given. For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has."
