Well, here we are in Oregon.....again! 30+ years ago, as a young, glowing, cherubic, chubby-cheeked young couple we were living in Dundee, Oregon in the basement of some generous relatives. Alongside us, to keep Judy company as Ed was out many a late night with kids from the youth group, we had our friendly hairy companion, “Moses the Moose.”
So, here we are, older and wiser (we hope!) back in Oregon….living in the basement of some generous relatives (different ones) in Dundee, Oregon. Is there an echo in here, God? Did you accidentally push the restart button? Also, accompanying Judy on those long nights that Ed is in meetings are new critter friends, “WelcomeHomeDeer” and “BlackBeary.”
So, what does God have us here for on this go-a-round? Reconnection with some special family and friends, for sure. We are being reminded that all we have is the Lords, and that even when we don't have our own home, God can be our home, safe haven, and comforting presence. He lights a warm, crackling fire and says "sit with me for a while....tell me what your heart is saying today."
We hope that you take the time to hear his wooing call, today. He made you. He knows you inside and out. Hear his loving, abba-daddy voice speak Jeremiah 29:11 to you. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Blessings, Da Burns ;)
