About His Business

September 14
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:7

"Sprinkle a seasoning of short prayers on your daily living." Francis De Sales

Boo thought: Do we believe? Do we trust? Do we hope.....in the Lord? I have a tale of two young brothers who have encountered me. One told his mother he didn't think it was right with all the dying people in the world and those struggling with cancer that I would pray over nonsense things like my vacuum cleaner starting. The other's quote was "she is the prayingest woman I've ever seen"...but it works!
When Jesus is your best friend and you know He has turned water into wine, fed five thousand, healed the blind and raised the dead it is just a no brainer for me to ask him to help me find my car keys when I have misplaced them or to start my vacuum cleaner or computer when they are being ornery! The sooner those things can get taken care of the sooner I can be about His business!

Let's Pray: Our hope is in you Lord, our trust is in you Lord, our faith is in you Lord, in you, it's in you! Whatever today brings find us quick to turn to You for solutions Lord. May the world see that we put our confidence in Christ, not ourselves. May they be attracted to what they see. 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

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac
