I Need Help.

October 18
Last week our daughter and I accompanied her boys on a hay ride and s'more roast! Personally, I find the marshmallow roasting to be the best part of making s'mores! While in multitasking mode, roasting marshmallows, taking pictures, laying out supplies and wiping sticky fingers, a gentleman interrupted me to acknowledge I was about to put a flaming marshmallow on a graham cracker! That could have literally been a hot mess! His input was greatly appreciated!

Sunday, as I was walking the boys to their Sunday school classrooms, I heard our children's director explain to her daughter, who had just asked her if she could help...

"I know I need help, I just don't know when or where!"

Isn't that profound?  We are all going to need help at some point and in some capacity! Whether it's to keep us from placing flaming marshmallows in our mouths or onto a graham cracker, telling us to watch the speed limit, or stepping in to help in a larger capacity, we need one another!

The help we need comes from the Lord! Whether he sends that assistance in human form or through directing us by His Holy Spirit, He's the One ready to meet our needs.

"My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:2

"The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He will make them know His covenant.
My eyes are continually toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net."
Psalm 25:14-15

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...
