From where does my help come?

-
Happy Birthday to you new Mr. Two!
You don't need any help with your strawberry picking.

There are a lot of people who need help right now and there are a lot of people helping.

My husband and his men's Bible Study had just started a study called "Goliath Must Fall".  I think they are changing it to Covid-19 must fall!

The videos are being offered for free online by Christain Books beginning May 12th.  https://www.christianbook.com/page/promotion/online-bible-studies/goliath-must-fall-louie-giglio-online-bible-study/gmf-sign-up?fbclid=IwAR0ZiyerjLHufhJbNT6rikEnv5A2gS-ZjQtK8EwL7G2nn7O8iXqykJb7QYk

If you google "Goliath Must Fall" you may also find a Vimeo link to get the videos.

Author of this study, Louie Giglio, says when we are in a battle we tend to lock our eyes on the size of the problem (like the Israelites did with Goliath). When we do this our mouth praises the problem, because what our eyes see directs what our mouth says.  We need to remember that Jesus has already defeated our giants. We need to look to him!  Giglio says, "Worship lifts us up and changes our vantage point. We began to see the goodness and power of God."

Little shepherd boy David, had five stones, but most of all he had a personal relationship with a BIG God!  That same relationship is available to us.

Amen!  Put on that music and worship the Lord!

who made heaven and earth."  Psalm 121:1-2

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...
