So Much More

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I do pray that your new year will be blessed with Joy, His Joy alone.

On New Year's Eve we (DH) decided to go see the movie, The Hobbit and to see it in 3D.

J.R.R. Tolkien has been a favorite of our family.

He really wanted to experience the whole thing and he was not disappointed. I too enjoyed the beauty and creativity of the special effects technology. The way things were brought to life in such a way that you could feel the water rushing over you or know how it felt to be overcome with evil. Yes, excellent.

But something happened after we existed the movie theater that put it all in perspective about man's creativity and special effects. As we were getting into the car I noticed the moon shining upon the parking lot and as I was thanking the Lord for this a Pueo (native Hawaiian owl)appeared. He was hunting in the tree tops. His wings fluttered as he hovered over the first tree and then went to another and another. We were speechless as we watched. God's creation is so much more.

Abba Father, Praise thee and Thank You Lord that You LOVE us. I pray for each precious sister-in-Christ today that she would desire the "so much more". Yes Lord, that this year she would be blessed with Your Joy, that she not be satisfied with the happy of this world but that she would desire the Joy of Jesus. May her life be one that is set apart for You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Desiring JESUS,
