Isaiah 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and
not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
I think I may have finally killed the Easter cactus in my
office. I forgot to water it. Last night
before I left the church I put it in the sink and drenched it hoping maybe it
would come back like the resurrection fern does. This fern grows on trees and
can get brown and dry but when after rain it becomes lush and green once
more. Sometimes our lives get dry. Our spirits lag. We hope for renewal.
There are many ways to do that. Tony Bennett sings a favorite song with a
suggestion: “When you feel as low as the bottom of a well
Can’t get out of the mood
Do something to perk yourself up
Change your attitude
Give a tug to your tie
Put a crease in your pants
But if you really wanna feel fine
Give your shoes a shine
When there's a shine on your shoes,
there's a melody in your heart,
With a singable, happy feeling,
What a wonderful way to start to face the world every day.”

Coldplay pleads: “Where
do we go? Nobody knows I've got to say I'm on my way down God give me style and
give me grace God put a smile upon my face.”
Loving God, today we pray that you put a smile on
our face. We ask you help to bring us
renewal of health and spirit. In Jesus’
name we pray, Amen.
Blessings,
