This has your name written all over it!

     When I was a kid there were craft kits you could buy for making “leather” wallets, purses and name tags for labeling your stuff, like a luggage tag. The kit came with cut-out pieces of “leather” that were hole punched around the periphery of each piece, and you were provided lengths of thin plastic string that you whip stitched through the holes in the “leather” pieces to assemble the object you were crafting. I recently came across one of these “leather” luggage tag gems at an antique store attached to the handle of a vintage suitcase. I was immediately transported back in time to fond memories of this craft activity, usually anticipating the creations as Christmas gifts for loved ones and friends.
    Recently I completed a series of paintings inspired by this jolt to my crafting reminiscing and delivered the set of three canvases to Reflections Gallery yesterday. They are titled The Get-Away Series, Art That Moves. If you have the chance to visit the gallery look closely at the one titled, Week Away. You’ll see one of those plastic string stitched “leather” luggage tags attached to the handle of the vintage travel case image. Attached to its owner’s bag for decades making sure nobody gets it confused as belonging to someone else.
    Those who confess Jesus as their Lord are tagged as belonging to Him, but not with a leatherette, plastic stitched tag that can unravel and fall off or get wet and the ink smudge. “They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their forehead.” Rev. 22:4 Our “luggage” tag is forever permanent and it has His name written on it. So no one else can claim us. Additionally, He has our name tagged to Him. “Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” Isaiah 49:16  He will not forget us. Double security.

"Have suitcase will travel"

  • I've been thinking lately how studying God's Word is a lot like packing a suitcase. Spending time really trying to understand the scriptures provides what we need along our spiritual journeys, especially when we take a wrong turn and experience difficulties along the way. If we have packed His Truths, promises, and guidelines, we are equipped to handle better whatever happens. But it takes discipline, time and patience. But when we commit to be in His Word regularly, He is Faithful to provide all we need for the adventure. If you are seeking a group to study God's Word with, I invite you join Sip&Seek Coffee Bible Study on Thursday's from 10-12pm at CUMC. This Fall we are studying the book of James. Come pack your suitcase and go with us on a journey.

"Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever." Psalm 28:9
