prayer 6.16.15

Renovation, Renewal, Restoration, Reuse, Recycle, all very suitable.  i feel grateful for Revival, Reinvigorating some old stuffs, Overhauling things defunct into Fruitful use.  Resuscitated, Brought back to LIFE, Refreshed in Rejuvenation Of LIFE GIVER, Awaken to newness of LIFE, Gift Of Redemption, Saved from the dump heap, we are all such things Enlivened in ABa’s Provision, Unrestrained Cultivation In Ceaseless Mercy, Gentle Regard, Constant Care.

i feel grateful ABa never forsook us in neglect, Sustaining creation in Heart Of Humility, Uplifting every one.  i have not bought shoes since coming to hawaii, weather being so mild, we are out of doors year round in flip flops, shorts, t shirt, bathed in sunshine, warm rains, Cultivated In ABa’s Safeguard.  last evening while buying new crocs for the kids, for the first time, i felt no compulsion to purchase anything for myself.  i realized ABa Has Made Space, Given Room for this Liberation, Set Free from compulsive buying.  i felt more wonderful in not buying anything than when i used to buy too much then feel guilty about the purchases.  

many things were wasted in this drive to consume.  we are being Saved from superfluous excess, made lean, strong in ABa’s Simplicity, trimmed down to Essential Nature.  i feel good, unburdened from encumbrance of stuff.  this morning was Inspiration to refit some old unused shoes, beginning with some old boots, re-laced with bungees to provide ease of use and comfort.  the upgrade improved function, restoring a few pairs of old shoes in usefulness.  broken in, they are even more comfortable than new ones.  there are also memories attached to these old things that make them a pleasure to refurbish.  this is a much greater Gift than if we had gotten all new shoes for the rack.  nothing was thrown away but Refreshed In ABa’s Inspiration, AMeN.
