Delivering New Solutions!

April 20

God has blessed me with a brilliant earthly father, who is very
innovative. He will turn 89 next week, but is as sharp as ever.
Several years ago he was a big help with our home addition. One
amazing suggestion he gave us was to place light switches by the
headboard of our bed. From experience, he knew middle of the night
bathroom runs would be coming and a night light would be handy. Additionally.
my husband's side has a switch which turns on the gas fireplace, while
on my side the second switch controls the ceiling fans. How did my
Daddy know that would be the perfect solution for hot flashes?

Our heavenly Father is full new solutions. His mercies are new
every morning and He can work all things together for good for those
of us who are called according to His purposes.

A dear friend emailed that she and her husband were traveling on the
highway and had some struggles facing them. On the back of the truck in
front of them was a bumper sticker which read: Delivering New Solutions. They praised the Lord for the reminder that
He is a Savior with Solutions!

This morning as I was praying the fact was placed on my mind that today
each us of will face a heart that needs to be filled with hope.

Let's Pray: Oh, Great God, Your love is so amazing.
Your knowledge is indescribable and the covering of Your wing a comfort
we have all needed multiple times. Fill us with the Holy Spirit today
and give us a sensitivity to see the needs of others. Stir our hearts
to move and come alongside someone who needs hope and open our mouths
to tell of Your faithfulness and pour Your Word out upon someone who
is ailing and needs the miracle of YOU...a healing balm. 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
