Amazing Things

August 28

In our middle school we have "Students of the Week".
One of the older students didn't know if he wanted to participate
this year. His name is George, so I told him we would make him King.
He liked that idea.
The love these students have shown towards one another the very first
week of school has blown me away. Thinking about that this morning
brought a Chris Tomlin song to mind.

"You Are My King"

I'm forgiven because you were forsaken I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be? That you, my king. would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true Its my joy to honor you
Its my joy to honor you In all I do I honor you.

Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves,
for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." Joshua 3:5

May we expect to see the amazing works of the Lord today!

Let's Pray: Father, you are our King and we will always praise You.
Thank You for encompassing all our needs. From Mighty Warrior to
Compassionate Comforter who wipes away our tears, You are all sufficient.
Show up and show off today Lord. May Your righteousness reign in a world
full of evil. May Your children have the courage of Mordecai who would
bow before no other than his God. May the praises of Your people flow
from their mouths, with shouts of hallelujah. 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...
