All in All

October 26
The prayer needs of others in my path have been huge lately.  So many facing multiple needs. Praying for an individual the other day I found myself saying, God be her All in All!  This song came to mind.

You are my strength when I am weak You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all. Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool. You are may all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name.  

 I sent her a prayer similar to the one below.  Maybe it will speak to your heart as well.
God, you have shown yourself to us as Sustainer, Diagnostician, Merciful Father, and Path Director. There are times we need you to be our Spokesperson and Negotiator in specific situations.  We know You are our Trusted Lord.  You are the One who sees the future and knows what is best for us.  We will not panic, but praise You as you are at work.  Give us eyes
to see where you are at work and allow us to see into the hearts of people around us and 
recognize if there is a place (even in the midst of our trial) You are calling us to join You.

If financial fears arise, remind us You are also Our Provider.  Be our Co-pilot and Protector as we travel and turn that travel time into a time of quiet where we can hear from You. Prompt us to turn on our radio when you have songs to bless and direct us, refresh us and lift our spirits.  There are times when we have multiple critical roles to carry out as spouses, parents, siblings and children.  Fill us up!  Be our Life Preserver!  In Jesus Name, Amen

 "We're depending on God; he's everything we need.  What's more, our hearts brim with joy since we've taken for our own his holy name.  Love us, God, with all you've got-that's what we're depending on." Psalm 33:20-22

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
