Just to say I did

Long day yesterday of not much that was productive. Was unable to even sign in and write to my first blog as it appears I forgot my password. The constant and continuous circle to try and get in via the various help menus proved nearly fatal for my computer. Not a single person to talk with, no way to truly search for the right answer, I have not been that frustrated in quite some time. Had to start a new blog, this one, and then it was to late to write anything of any consequence even if I possessed such a thing as I had to be getting home to my family. Not to worry, the Lord will provide for me tomorrow its own worry, He always cares for His bride that she need not worry and she never does. Or does she?

I have many dear saints to visit today who are in various states of trials and suffering. Knowing of my own insufficiency I am amazed that He accomplishes so much through so little. I am rereading Eyers "Pastoral care under the cross" along with several other books in the hope that I might offer more in the way of empathy, compassion and grace to those who are suffering under the crosses of this life. That is the life of the Christian, under the cross. There is no easy way out, no way out at all and one should be concerned should one find ones self free from such burdens. We are either shackled to Satan or to Christ Jesus but we are never free unto ourselves. Chained to Satan may feel like freedom as the flesh can revel and there may appear to be no cares or troubles - beware of such unabated folly. Bound to Christ, we are bound to the One who was crucified for us, suffered for us, has broken the bonds that bound us to Satan. We are free in Christ, free to labor under the cross. Hebrews 12 is so helpful at this point.

Here at the end of this post, still a child in this pursuit, I am at a loss how to end. Signing off or just stop writing or with salutation or benediction. For now, at least, as with all correspondence:

With love and peace in Christ Jesus, Pastor Foy
