I am late to the party - again - but I am here nevertheless. I think I'm in a bit of a silly mood. It may have to do with being tired and stressed over some things.
Be that as it may...here is the word Lisa-Jo has handed us this Friday:
WHOLE
start:
Reading today's word, my first reaction was to think of a deeply spiritual application. After all, being made whole is what it is all about; Jesus taking this mess of me and making something of value of it all. However, the more I thought about "whole" and kept saying it over and over again to myself - the funnier it sounded.
I kept coming up with ideas like: the whole enchilada, or the whole wide world, or the whole doggone thing. I'm not sure if this is an indication of selfishness or just plain silly. I do know that as I thought about those uses of the word I did think about Jesus, about how I want it all. I want the whole package.
I sometimes feel as though I am a bunch of little pieces all spread out on the living room floor waiting to be put into some sort of sensible order. We, the Lord and I, work on one part and get it in fairly good shape only to realize there is much work to be done on that other part over there.
And so it goes - a seemingly endless job of putting this fractured daughter into a recognizable whole. While we're at it, I know that not only do I want to be put together into one whole piece, I want to have the whole of Jesus...

Come visit Lisa-Jo's blog and add your ideas on "whole." I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Blessings,
