I will hear what God the lord will speak for He will speak peace.
Psalm 85:8

"Prayer is a way for us to connect with God's plan."
Suzanne Dale Ezell

Boo thought:Yarp is close to yap! A dear friend asked me last night if I knew what "pray" spelled backwards meant...I confessed I didn't. He confessed it didn't mean anything, but knew it would be food for thought for me!

How about this...You ARe Peace!
Today's Psalm's Now is too good to pass up.
As many a waitress says after setting down a dish..."Enjoy!"

Let's Pray this:
O God, You indeed have been good to us. You have prospered our land. You have opened Your heart to us in love. You have forgiven our sins and adopted us as Your sons and daughters.

But our country is in turmoil. We no longer have confidence in our leaders. Some segments of society feel disenfranchised and display their displeasure in open revolt. Our young people spill blood in turf wars and over drugs. People are turning away from You only to be ensnared by false doctrines and godless philosophies.

We know that You have not turned away from us. You touch with joy and peace the hearts that belong to You. You stand ready to show Your salvation to all who will trust in You. As we speak to You in faith, You respond with loving concern. You will give us what is good and will prosper us with gifts from Your hand.

You are holy and just. You love Your children and will guide them in Your course for their lives. Renew our faith, O God. Forgive our many failures and infidelities. May our land continue to be a place where we are free to love and serve You.

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...
