Unforced Rhythms of Grace


 
'Are you tired? 

Worn out? 
 
Burned out on religion? 
 
Come to Me. 
 
Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. 
 
I’ll show you how to take a real rest. 
 
Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. 
 
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. 
 
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. 
 
Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.'
- Matthew 11:28-30 {The Message}

  2. This verse is one of my favorite verses and the best news ever! Just to come to Jesus after religion has had its last say!! Just to come, abide and rest in our resurrected Lord!

Welcome to the table, friend!

This is where we gather and hang out. I'd love for you to pull up a chair and jump right into the conversation. Or simply say 'hello.'

l'll be dropping in to visit you sometime soon ...

Linda
