A Blessed Day!

I'm writing this morning to say Thank You Father for too many blessings to count! You are the giver of all that is and will ever be. I'm so excited today to be sharing it with the ones that are the dearest to me and that I love the most. I realize there are many that do not share in such a rich blessing. My heart is sadden by all our troops today that cannot be with their families. I pray now for them, for their safety and their families that must be without them. I too, know what that feels like, but I also realize that nothing ever stays the same, either for good or bad and only by Your hand are true blessings received.

I just pray for everyone that reads these words today, that they will stop and ponder on this Day of Thanksgiving and understand just where such blessings come. May each of you fill your day with wonderful memories and thoughts of Him.

In Jesus Name

Fellowshipping

God is good all the time! This past weekend at the Oakwood Outlaws was another testimony to God’s goodness and blessings. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the new slideshow I’ve added to the blog.
Dogie and I had the privilege once again to be with dear friends and share His word on Sunday morning with those of us that gathered together to feed upon it. Not only did He give us plenty to feed upon, but He also provided a beautiful canopy under which to sit as we played and prayed together.
I couldn’t help but notice this entire weekend, as we participated in two shoots with time out for the Lord in between, that He commanded the leaves to rain down both days. It was magnificent. I was distracted at times as I was constantly reminded of His handy work, of which nothing can compare.
Thank you Father for the friends you give us, the lives you touch through those of us that try to do Your Kingdom work. Thank you Father for the beauty You show us, if only we keep our eyes on You. Thank you Father for the joy You place in us. May we forever Praise You.

Resting In The Lord

Well…. We’ve done all that we can do. God is good and we can trust Him completely. We’ve made our choice in voting for who we think God would want to be our President by praying daily and sometimes many more times in that 24 hour period. Even though we may feel sad tonight not knowing how things will turn out, I feel an overwhelming peace settle upon me. Call it faith, call it trusting in the Lord, but whatever stills my heart tonight, I know it is of the Lord.
My yearning to be in His Word is overwhelming as I reach for my Bible. Thank you Lord for the truths contained herein. Thank you that I can talk to you openly and lovingly without interruption. I feel Your presence near, as I sit here and write, and think upon Your words. Father, I just ask right now that You protect all our troops overseas. What must they be thinking? Our country was established on Your principles, please don’t take Your eyes from this blessed land. I cry out to You tonight to hold on to us tightly as we honor You and love You for loving us.

Oh God, help us in this hour of uncertainty and disappointment. What is the lesson you are teaching us? Although we do not understand, we are open to Your ways.

2 Chron 7:14-15

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
