In Whatever Ever You Do

In a beautiful moment, Moses speaking of covenant blessing, mentions the wood cutter and the water carrier: two lowly positions. Yet, their important work is recognized, as lowly as it seems to us, forever in God’s Word. Monotonous, daily tasks may seem to go unrecognized, but the Lord takes note, and honors everything done to His glory. Even stacking wood. So in whatever you do …

“…from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water” … “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (Deut. 29:11; 1 Cor. 11:31). #gospel #Jesus #Yeshua #offgrid #mountainlife #daily #dailygrind #meaning #purpose #stackingwood #home #life

Connection Fellowship

People of all ages are desperately looking for connection, when they connect with you, Who will they find? I pray they find Him with you, and among those you gather with, and that we all move past the Madison Avenue appearances of perfection and perfectionism, and just be ourselves as He has reformed us, and that we genuinely care, really deeply care for those He brings into our lives, and overcome faith fatigue. #adirondacks #faith #jesus #adk #hiking #adirondackmountains #dontbeafraid #life #snowshoeing #fellowship #koinonia
