Empty/Full

Sometimes:
Life comes at us. We are hit with some disappointments.
We are empty.
We might have been overflowing earlier. We might have been simply brimming over. In fact, we might still be able to see the cup with the remains. But now, we are empty.
I am so thankful that I know where to go 'wann meine Schale ist leer.' (when my cup is empty)
This is a life-time learning process.
Last night, my tandem partner came over for some tea and cake. We are making a really wonderful team.
We met one year ago at an Easter Service. She played the harp. We met again on der Zug (the train) sometime in October. Then, I went to her church's harvest service on November 5 (my birthday) and we made a decision to meet together. She is a believer - she desires to study the Bible with me - she is a wonderful seeking soul.
We talked for hours -- albeit broken English and broken German. But we got our hearts across. It is lonely to be a believer in this country. So few believers here. She has had a hard life...
We shared, we cried, we laughed.
She and her husband head out this weekend to a large city for a harp festival. Her husband is an 'hölzerner Künstler' (wood artist). He crafts harps for a living. I pray that they sell one, two, or three!
Waving goodbye at my door, I returned to my flat. Curling up in my red chair, I settled in for some much needed refueling. The new Bible that Sh&St gave me for Christmas is being broken in. Turning to Isaiah 66 I read...
Thus says the Lord,
"Heaven is My throne, and the earth is my footstool Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things Thus all these things came into being," declares the Lord.
"But to this one I will look.
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word."
And then He draws me into:
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances."
He does it.
He does it.
He does it.
He does it.
He does it...
and the table set before me is filled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
