Heaven Day 2-3

-



Having almost the whole family here has put me behind in the daily posts.

We almost got everyone together! Our youngest son’s wife is due with their third child in 4 weeks, so she and their 4 year old daughter did not make the trip from Florida.

A dear friend said, “Take the picture with whomever can get there, you never know what the next day holds.
Last Friday afternoon angels were watching over our oldest son and my husband.  A rope had gotten stuck in the Seadoo and they put it up on the lift.  Our son was sitting underneath in a kayak ready to work on the PWC.  My husband got off the season which was on the lift and the cable broke and the Seadoo fell on top of our son hitting his head first and then his body.

The kayak flipped him underwater. My husband  jumped in and yelled to a neighbor to all 911. Miraculously, he did not lose consciousness. My husband  was able to get him to our beach area.  The ER doctors were amazed he has survived this accident and with no broken bones.  He has a severe concussion and a huge hematoma that first day, but we are thanking the Lord he is alive. When I asked him the next morning how he was feeling he said, "Like a Seadoo fell on top of me." 

He had a mountain bike accident several weeks ago in Utah that leave him with 4 staples in his head and a serious head injury, so please keep him in your prayers.

I thought about this month long study on Heaven and am thankful that both of these men in my life love the Lord and have their securities set in Heaven.
 

Day 2-3

1 Kings 8:27, 30 (Solomon speaking in regards to the temple.)

27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built! …30 And listen to the plea of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. And listen in heaven your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.


Due to 23 family members here I will probably not get to songs this week.

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
