Jar or Jesus?

On this bright glorious sunny thursday morning off i decided to flip on the tube to watch my old favorite morning show, Live with Regis & Kelly....so here i am sitting at my counter drinking coffee, online and listening to Regis, Kelly, & the guest on the show. The guest on the show at this particular moment was one of the actresses from Desparate Housewives. oh man i used to watch that show too. lol. So she was advertising and promoting this new thing that she runs online for moms. She tells the moms to make a list of things they love to do...for example "put on shoes and go for a walk" "go to starbuck & get a drink" etc...cut them out and put them in a jar. When the moms are feeling low and down, they go to the jar, pick a peice of paper out and go do the thing that they previously wrote down. And ya know what a great idea, BUT shouldnt we go running STRAIGHT to Jesus in our times of need...whatever our needs may be. Our God, my Jesus, tells the truth, and tells me that he is BIGGER than loneliness, depression, chaos, oppression, stress, being overwelmed, sadness, greif, anger. Oh the possibilities in our lives when we make Him our 1st resort instead of our last. When we open his word, fall on our knees and cry out to Him whos always listening and never despises a broken and contrite heart (psalm 51:17)
