I am short on computer time today so will try to make this brief.
My task for the day: my Moms in Touch meeting with another mom from my church and one from a Baptist church. We all have daughters in the same elementary school so we get together 2 times a month to pray, share concerns and encourage each other. It is a wonderful small group and easy for me to help with as I only work until 11 a.m. on Tuesdays! Our meetings are from 1:15-2:15 so it is just perfect and a direct answer from the Lord. It is an important task: praying for our children and the teachers, staff, principal and administration that make up the public school. I consider it a privelage to be in a great school district and an honor to lift it up in prayer before God.
My treasure I am sharing is from my a.m. devotions. I read through the next entry from my new book (see my sidebar: Fresh Grounded Faith is one great devotional!). However, today's entry was short so I got back into Isaiah which I have been reading since beginning of January. I am almost done with the book.
Was in Isaiah 52-53 this a.m. and these verses leapt out at me:

Was in Isaiah 52-53 this a.m. and these verses leapt out at me:
"Surely He has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But, He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him
and by His stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:4&5

Jesus is the answer to any problem or situation that seems insurmountable.

P.S. I just posted a link to your blog post.
I popped over from A Happy Heart At Home. Great post. Every time I read this verse it strikes me that Jesus took on my sins, the Just for the unjust. He was wounded because of me, and because of Him I am healed. You are so right, Jesus is still healing wounded hearts and wounded people today!
