Knock...and He shall answer
Luke 11 9-10 ~~ "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
How TRUE this is!
I stand in awe of how powerful and great our Lord is! He is most precious to me and I give thanks to Him for all that I have in this human life here on earth. Thank you so much Lord for giving me peace, health and all the wonders of this world.
I continue to pray for those who do not know you and I pray that someday as it is your will, that they will come to you,,,truly. May their eyes be opened and I lift them up to you Lord...my children, my husband, parents, siblings and inlaws..friends and aquaintances...open their ears and unveil their eyes...
In Jesus' name...I pray.
"and as I wait I will rise up like the eagle -- and I will soar with you, your spirit leads me on in the power or Your Love."

Thankful
I am always so thankful for God's blessings on me and my family for good health and safety in our travels be it just too and from work or longer jaunts like our recent trip to Maine. He keeps us in His awesome care and gives me peace of mind and and the security of knowing we are with Him and He with us, always...
I have not been to church this month due to work and then vacation stuff, but I do have to get back into the swing of it into August and then definitely into Sept. I am in hopes that they will start an evening surface during the week as I would be able to attend more often. I also need to start contributing more to the tithe. I have more resources now and just need to be better about it and so I pray on this as well.
"And so I thank you Dear Lord for all you give me, the many many blessings in my life and I thank and praise you in Jesus' name...Amen."

Mother's Day
I should be at church this morning, but lately, it doesn't feel very welcoming there. Never has really. I attend a church where I really like the pastor and LOVE his sermons, but the congregation...that's another story. The "people" are NOT very friendly. They will walk right past you and not even make eye contact or smile. You go to say hello and when they don't even look at you passing by, it makes you not want to even speak first. Not all are like this, but quite a few. I've been a member at this church for several years now and attend services whenever I can, as I work every other weekend and some weekends we have plans to do things as my husband is not a believer or church goer. I got up this morning thinking I would go and then I talked myself out of it.
So I pray Lord that I can push this "worry" out of my mind and go to church with a happy heart and not let the ones who "snub" me bother me as I know it is you I am worshipping and not what others think of me or don't think of me or whatever it is they feel behaving in that way means...
And I thank you dear Lord for allowing a wonderful day yesterday with my mother. Putting aside our differences and hurts to get together and spend the day. We had good conversation, a nice lunch and enjoyed buying flowers in the rain!
I thank you Lord for these blessings and I continue to pray for understanding among us, peace and spiritual growth.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
~I Corinthians 13:4-7

All in His Time
How we want things to always go our way. Human nature I guess, but I am learning to be patient, it's hard in this world, but good things do happen all in His time.
Family trials have been my burden the past several months and I have prayed on this and finally a break through. I am still hurt and bewildered to some extent, but I am realizing more and more that so much, if not every struggle in this life, is for a reason.
I frequently pray for all of my family and I will continue to do this. Sometimes I think that is all we can do even though our human nature will tell us otherwise!
~ Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me. ~
~: psalm 86:6-7 :~

More Precious than Silver
Who can count all the blessings we are given everyday? When I sit and ponder my life up to this point I am so so grateful to Him for giving me all he has. I know nothing is for nothing and sometimes that is hard to understand, but I know in my heart it is so true.
Trials and tribulations come for a reason and nothing I deserve compares to Him, this I know.
The daily grind can make us forget about what is truly important in life. We get so busy with the day to day, kids, work and getting by in this crazy world, but at the end of each day I know He has been with me and I have thought on Him often.
My soul sings, my heart beats strong and I am so grateful for all I have. I am blessed in so many ways. Things may be hard at times, I don't understand why things happen as they do or why we react the way we do sometimes, the challenges we face but I can only pray that He will take these burdens from me as well. I lay them at the foot of the cross and pray for all who do not know Him as I do.
Thank you Lord for all you have given me, good and bad, and make me stronger for it. You are my strength, my sheild and most importantly my saviour! More precious than silver.
