Did you know that when God sees a breach between His people, he often builds a "bridge"? This morning we read in our devotional out of Power for Life by Robert A. Schuller of the Hour of Power, that God calls us to be peacemakers. "Jesus Christ was the ultimate peacemaker, and laid down His life to build a bridge...between God and us. The cross of Jesus is the supreme symbol of a perfect bridge. The vertical plank connects us to God, and the horizontal plank connects us to our neighbors.
In times of conflict, think of the cross and its high cost, lovingly paid. If you serve the cause of peace on the bridge of the cross, your efforts will not be in vain."
This blog is going to be short this morning, because I am going to meet in person, a new friend I have made on here by networking. In reading each others profile we first noted that we lived within a few miles of each other; then we realized how many interests we have in common. So, we are meeting for pie and coffee at a local restaurant this afternoon. I am excited to exchange conversation with her, as she, too is a writer, a believer, and mother...we should have LOTS to talk about. And, at the same time, we will bridge the generation gap, as she is a generation behind me. I will report back on what I feel is going to be an enjoyable, insightful first meeting. In the meantime, you all have a wonderful day and weekend.
