My Prayer Bucket and Yours

Ok, this blog is becoming more of a monthly exercise than a weekly one.  I have been so tired and so busy during the month of October.  My 25th anniversary of my ordination as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament went by on October 31 and no one noticed.  I am kind of disappointed about that...

Anyway, today is my monthly retreat day at St. Francis Retreat Center in Dewitt, MI.  And boy, I can tell you all that I certainly do appreciate the chance to get away for a while.

I don't usually do this, but I grabbed a hold of a NT and Psalms and simply opened the Bible up to wherever it would.  I landed on John 4 where Jesus comes to the Samaritan woman at well.  He is so tired and so thirsty.  He asks her for a drink of water.  She tells him that the well is deep but he has no bucket to draw the water with.

That's where it hit me like a ton a bricks,  Jesus got tired...Jesus got thirsty...Jesus had to stop every now and then and just drink deeply and rest.  Gee, maybe I should do this more often too.

The well is deep but I need a bucket.  God's resources are endless, but I need faith and prayer to receive them.  My prayer life (or lack of it) is my bucket.

So, today I am dipping my bucket in God's well and drinking and resting and not feeling one bit guilty about it.  How about you?
