Love the One You're With

October 17
Our bulldog nudged up to the side of our bed around
5:30, looking for love and some good scratches. I
began a drowsy prayer time. Now finally awake I am
trying to remember what the Lord had on my mind to
write. Immediately the song Love the One You're With
comes to mind. Since Jesus is always with us, that would
make sense. Song lyrics beginning with "That" seem to be
lurking in the back of my mind...could it be "That's the way,
uh huh, I like it." Good to remember, God does long our
fellowship and is always there loving us!

In Blackaby's study today he mentions the importance of
remembering "spiritual markers" in our lives. "Key moments
in your walk with God become spiritual markers and give a
sense of direction to your life." These are great teaching tools
for us and great reminders of the love the One with us has for
us.
Blackaby states: "When I face a major decision, I review the
spiritual markers of my life.....when I clearly know God has
guided me. I do not take the next step without reviewing the
full activity of God in my life."

Let's Pray this poem:
Lord there are decisions for all of us to make this day,
but let us not rush to jump in the hay!
Before You we come,
discussing what should be done,
knowing all activity in our lives has repercussions
and should always reflect our love for Your Son!

We love You Lord and thank You for never leaving us
or forsaking, even when we fuss! In Jesus Name, Amen

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
