The Cross

Today at church we planted a new metal cross on the hill in the rocks. This we did as a symbol of re-dedication of our lives, the community and the valley to God. It was a very emotional time and I was reminded of the simple lessons I have learned from the cross.

The cross has 2 directions. The vertical relationship reminds me of my relationship with God and the horizontal the relationship with people. These are both important in our lives.

At times in my life when I need to make decisions and these are tough, I look to the cross- roads for answers and peace in all that I do.

At other times when I carry burdens with no answers, I lay them at the foot of the cross and wait for God to help me through these times.

Thank you for the cross, Lord.
