Lisa, I will miss you, but on the other hand I won’t because I’ll still be visiting with you.

I feel what you’re saying about what can we do. something that helped me these last few weeks was: In prayer I found myself asking Jesus what my prayers could do, I’m just one person. But then I thought of all of you, my blogging friends, then other Christians around the world whom I don’t know. It got me thinking that maybe while I’m just one person, the impact of All of our combined prayers can accomplish? Then I got to thinking about that mustard seed, you know the one. while we all hope we have the faith of that mustard seed, again combine our mustard seeds even in prayer, and he will move mountains. Even if we can’t see it clearly yet.

Also, I don’t watch the news. I’ll read to see what’s going on then I let it be. Jesus said to be informed but I don’t think he wants us stuck , I don’t want my being stuck to take my mind away from him.

The news can be so discouraging. And yet, I find it pushes me to hold onto the Lord all the more deeply.
Thank you for hosting, Lisa. These blogging connections have been a blessing and you will be missed! Blessings!

I don’t watch or listen to the news much, for the same reasons. I love your suggestions of what we can do. Thanks for hosting so many years!

Lisa, I will definitely miss your hostessing!

Zooming in to what I myself can do and how I respond – that’s a big enough job for me, right there.

Lisa, thanks for your years of hosting. Yes, self-control is always a good option in a world out of control.

Any steps of kindness in our daily actions can have a ripple effect that goes way beyond what we can imagine. You’ve reminded me how focusing on the goodness we can give may not stop a war, but it is still purposeful and necessary to love as we are called to love!

Trusting that this well-placed no will blossom into so many beautiful yeses. But I will miss this weekly connection!

oh I will miss you hostessing, Lisa. and yet I admire you for knowing when to move ahead. the blog world seems to be shaking up a bit, redefining herself. i’m in the process of readying myself to get brave and step out of my comfort zone. but we don’t do these things lightly, do we.
