I See You

-

Love this old photo of my husband & one of our grandsons pushing their grocery carts.
 

The most interesting thing happened when I walked into a Kroger store recently.  Right at the entrance a Pepsi employee was setting up a Mt Dew and Pepsi display. After grabbing my cart I looked at him and said, "Good morning!"  His reply stunned me. In a very pleasant way he said, "I see you."

Several thoughts raced through my mind.

1) God always sees me.

2) It was as if the man was saying, "You are valuable."

3) Was this guy actually an angel.

3) How many people do I pass by and never REALLY see?

Some of you who are in some life struggles right now, I am  always happy to be praying for you.  I hope some of these scriptures speak to you and remind you God is always working for us and more importantly in us!  

The Best is Yet to Come!  It will be more than we could ever humanly imagine.

Whatever you face today. You do not face it alone.  ...the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121:8

Determine to fix your thoughts on the God who sees you. 

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.  Isaiah 26:3-4 

Thank you Jehovah El Roi – The God who sees me!

Love to each of you,
Boo

The Eyes of the Lord

Psalm 32:8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

God’s eyes:

Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths.

2 Chronicles 16:9a  For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.

Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love.

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
