All in All

October 26
The prayer needs of others in my path have been huge lately.  So many facing multiple needs. Praying for an individual the other day I found myself saying, God be her All in All!  This song came to mind.

You are my strength when I am weak You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all. Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool. You are may all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name.  

 I sent her a prayer similar to the one below.  Maybe it will speak to your heart as well.
God, you have shown yourself to us as Sustainer, Diagnostician, Merciful Father, and Path Director. There are times we need you to be our Spokesperson and Negotiator in specific situations.  We know You are our Trusted Lord.  You are the One who sees the future and knows what is best for us.  We will not panic, but praise You as you are at work.  Give us eyes
to see where you are at work and allow us to see into the hearts of people around us and 
recognize if there is a place (even in the midst of our trial) You are calling us to join You.

If financial fears arise, remind us You are also Our Provider.  Be our Co-pilot and Protector as we travel and turn that travel time into a time of quiet where we can hear from You. Prompt us to turn on our radio when you have songs to bless and direct us, refresh us and lift our spirits.  There are times when we have multiple critical roles to carry out as spouses, parents, siblings and children.  Fill us up!  Be our Life Preserver!  In Jesus Name, Amen

 "We're depending on God; he's everything we need.  What's more, our hearts brim with joy since we've taken for our own his holy name.  Love us, God, with all you've got-that's what we're depending on." Psalm 33:20-22

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...
