Easy Access

Where do you wish you could go? How often would you want to go? How easy should the trip be? What I'm thinking of right now is easy access to my neighbor's house! There is one common neighbor's backyard separating the two of us and in the summer we can walk through grass and a few stray bushes and within a minute, we can be sitting together over iced tea and hilarious conversation. I love it. It's like an extension of  my own yard and the years of friendship are evident to both of us. But in the winter, deep snow and lately, perilous ice, have prohibited easy access for both of us. I really miss that! I can still walk down the driveway, follow the sidewalk, and climb her driveway and there I am, but that easy access in the backyard has become the norm. Easy access may be something I will continue to seek the older I become. But think of the easy access we have to our Father-all year long. Deep snow, perilous ice, pelting rain, nothing matters. No backyard extends our access and with a repentant heart and faith in Jesus as our newborn Redeemer, God is accessible every minute of every day. It couldn't be easier. Remember to "access" Him this busy season. He doesn't get too busy for us and longs for us as His children. Be blessed by the Lord and highly favored. Merry Christmas. Barb
