THOTS

Taking kids to the doctor’s office was always an interesting experience. The waiting room was filled TV, toys and magazines.   Getting that far with them was no problem. But as soon as I picked them up to carry them into the appointment, everything changed. Suddenly the fun turned into fear as the nurse approached with the needle for the needed shot. The closer they got, the tighter they hugged my neck. They would cling to me for comfort, probably hoping for rescue, not knowing that it was for their own good.

Why do I often cling to the wrong things? 

Why is it so hard to let go of them? 

Why is it harder to cling to the right things? 
Hold on tight - Trust - Get near

God can be trusted.  in the midst of this trouble He is doing something that in the end is for our best, even if it hurts.  Like my children, the tougher it gets, the tighter we should hug His neck. Trust Him. His love never fails!  Cling to your heavenly Father; He is your only hope.

Cling Free – not as in not clinging at all but as in willingly staying close

PRAYER   Remind me of You’re presence and faithfulness and of the fact that You hold me in Your loving arms.  Help me stay close and hold on
