Thursday, May 13 - God Can

I had a few spare coffee cans hanging around - I knew I would do something with them someday...

Well, I remembered something I had seen a few years back... a can that someone brought in to a group I was going to.  On the outside of the can it said, "When I can't, GOD CAN!" There was an opening in the top that allowed you to write the things that were out of your control that you just can't turn over.Physically writing the worries, fears or trial out, then putting them in the can, was a visual way to "turn it over to God".

So, I made a couple of God cans for Alice and Shelley with the following scriptures:

Luke 1:37(New International Version)"For nothing is impossible with God."
Psalm 55:22(New International Version)Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
John 16:33(New International Version)"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

We had a great dinner - roast beef and other fixings! Then we just sat around and chatted... it was so nice!
