Ascension

Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.  2 Kings 2:1-15  I woke up late this morning. Whenever that happens I always seem to find my self behind and it takes a while to feel like I am able to rise up to whatever occasion the day brings. As I struggle to get ahead throughout the day, I remember it’s the 40th day of Easter – Ascension, the celebration of Jesus ascent into heaven after having resurrected and appearing before his disciples.  Feeling like I could sure use that double share of spirit, I remembered my praise. Ascension – some days, it feels just like that.

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
   from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
   who made heaven and earth.  Psalm 121:1-2
