This month we have been talking about a foundation of rest... Resting in God's promises, resting in our soul, and getting our physical rest. In order for us to truly rest I think we must first trust. Trust leads to rest. But how do we know if we are really trusting. I think hope is our indicator that we are trusting. One of the dictionary definitions of hope is the feeling of trust. And the Amplified Bible defines hope as the confident expectation of good. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that we have the God of all hope with us. And we are asking him to help us understand hope and to walk in trust/hope in new levels. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

The last few days I have added a little time to my workouts to play with my kids. We did things like run, jump, walk across balance beams, jump rope, tumbling, and playing tag. Jesus said the kids have a lot of the secrets. Making some time to play like a kid is an important part of health and fitness because it usually means doing movements we don't normally do much anymore. 

I am praying for you.
