Packing our gear at Cousin Camp Camo
Sitting around the table sharing God's Word

The verses below were the basis for our spiritual training at CCC.  Each day we packed our back packs with the physical supplies we might need, but we also applied God's Word to our hearts.  We reminded each other to seek the Lord, stand strong in the Lord, serve the Lord, sleep peacefully knowing the Lord is watching, sing to the Lord, and simply delight in the love of the Lord.


SEEK


Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.  Psalm 119:105


You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.  

Jeremiah 29:13


STAND STRONG

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. Exodus 14:14

Be still and know that I am God.  Psalm 46:10


Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories. 

Isaiah 41:10


The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.   Zephaniah 3:17

Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9


Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!  

Psalm 27:14


SERVE


May the Lord cause us to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone.   1 Thessalonians 3:12


SLEEP


In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.  

Psalm 4:8


Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7


SING


This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm  118:24


Be joyful always, pray without ceasing and in all things give thanks. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18


Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love Him with all that’s in you, love Him with all you’ve got!  Deuteronomy 6:5


SIMPLY DELIGHT   Simply, delight yourself in the Lord.  Psalm 37:4

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
