Tuesday Blessings

God puts people in our lives at just the right time

to help and show His love.

  I found this so true yesterday as I spent the day in the ER after having a reaction to the Lubricant shot my doctor put in my knee. I passed out for some time and was unresponsive. I was transported to the hospital a hour away. In the ambulance on the way there, the EMT and I begin to talk, I soon discovered that he was a friend of my grandson. He was such a nice young man, he talked to me the whole time and kept me calm. He even let me

know when my blood pressure begin to rise. It had fell very low and my heart rate, they thought I was having a heart attack, but no I wasn't, just a severe reaction  to the shot.

Just before we got to the hospital he asked if he

could pray for me, I said yes, he held my hand and prayed. I was so calm and after several hours, all kinds of test results came back to show I was OK, 

they let me go home. All my family had left jobs, school and other things they had planned and came to be with me.

All the nurses were so kind and I am so blessed that God was with me. Just that morning before I left to go to the doctor He put two verses in my mind.

 Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,

saith the Lord; thoughts of peace, and not of evil,

to give you an expected end."

and

Matthew 29:20

"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever

I have commanded you and, lo, I am with you 

always, even unto the end of the world."

We are commanded as believers to show love to one another. I was shown so much love yesterday and I thank God and give Him all honor and glory.

John 15: 12

"This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you."

Today as we go about our lives, look for someone

you can show love to, maybe a smile or a helping hand. You never know when someone may need it!

Be Blessed

Thankful for Today

Today I am thankful I have a Heavenly Father

that hears and answers my prayers. He draws

near to me when I seek Him and His will.

He comforts me in my sorrows and fills my

heart with Love!

May you find joy and peace in your day!

Good Sunday Morning

This verse touched me this week and I wanted

to share it with you. I have been doing a lot of

soul searching lately and this verse helps me

put things in perspective, it's the content of my

heart that God cares about, not how I look on

the outside although I do believe he wants us

to look descent.  

"She maketh herself coverings of tapestry;

 her clothing is silk and purple."

Proverbs 31:22

To live my life for Christ, so I can live it pleasing to him as a follower of Him, a wife, a mother and friend. I have to go back and read

 Proverbs 31:10 - 31 often.

May you have a Blessed week!

It's Okay Not to be Okay__Book Review

This is the first time I have done a book review.

My birthday was in August and my daughter, Debbie, preordered me the book, "It's Okay not to be Okay" by Sheila Walsh. It wasn't released until October.

  It came a couple weeks ago and I took a week to read it since it was so enlightening. I didn't want it to end, it was that informative and helpful. I have been going through a lot this year, not just with my hubby having TMI (mini strokes) but personally and spiritually too.

"God will hold me up in his victorious right hand,,,,,"

Isaiah 41:10

He has held me and brought me a long way.

I give Him all praise and honor, I couldn't go another day without Him with me.

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you."

Isaiah 41:10

Sheila Walsh is a bible teacher and bestselling author with more than 5 million books sold.

She is the author of Gigi, God's Little Princess and In the Middle of the Mess.

She is the cohost of Life Today with James and Betty Robinson, and her Wednesdays in the Word program. She lives in Dallas, Texas with her husband and son.

She helps you overcome the struggles of daily life by changing the way you think about God and yourself. She shares practical, doable strategies that will help you move from the pain and sadness you've experienced no matter what you've been through, failed marriage, lost friendships, addictions or lost jobs, etc that will help you move forward one step at a time. She uses scripture to back up all that she says, and she uses her on life experiences. 
As a believer I am sure you will find this helpful in your daily walk and find that it is OKay not to be Okay.

One sentence she used is "For every what-if that crosses your mind -and trust me, they still cross mine--allow the truth of God's Word to be louder
than the clamor of fear."

          F…. Fall on your face before Him 

                    E…. ….  earnestly seek Him.

          A ……..  ask Him to give you His peace.

          R …….. rest in His presence. 

I found this book interesting, helpful and it was even funny at times. I am writing this on my own. I wasn't asked by the publisher or Mrs. Walsh to write a review. I truly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it!

Have a Blessed weekend!

Monday Blessings

We all have those days that we feel down and

not wanting to face it. Today I had a good talk

with my heavenly father and I believe this day

He holds me in His arms and I can do this, with

His help. 

I love the photo I found on the internet, it speaks

to me and my Prayer is that you'll find His Love

in your walk in your journey.

Have a Blessed Day!

SUNDAY ENCOURAGEMENT

As we go through this week I hope you 

are blessed beyond measure and find

peace and joy.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts;

and be ready always to give an answer

to every man that asketh you a reason

of hope that is in you with meekness and 

fear."

1 Peter 3:15

Be Blessed, until next time!

Tuesday's Blessings

2 Timothy 1:7

"God doesn't give us a spirit of fear, but of 

power, love and self-discipline."

God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but it is

something we all struggle with at times. 

Our hearts feels fear when there is danger, this

helps us to understand that we need to be careful

and alert to what's around us. Our fear sometimes

helps us to recognize that we should examine ourselves to see if we're doing something right or wrong for us. Our fear of the Lord should always be to obey Him. He loves us and wants what is 

best for us every day. At times He gives us this 

fear so we can see His Love for us and obey and 

"walk in His ways."

My prayer for today is that we all recognize the

fears God puts in our heart and turn to Him for guidance and truths to obey His will for us.

Have a Blessed Tuesday!

Monday Blessings

"I say, The Lord is my portion, therefore

I will put my hope in Him."

Lamentations 3:24

Have a Blessed Week!

HAPPY OCTOBER AND TEA PARTY

Another month gone by!

In Ecclesiastes 3:1-9, it tells us that there is

a time for every season. We know that our

season changes but God's is always the same,

He never changes, He's the same today, yesterday and forever. That is so assuring to me, that He is faithful in every season of my life.

A few weeks ago my granddaughter ask me if I would have a Tea Party for her so she could bring

her best friend that hadn't been to one. Of course

I said yes. I only have two granddaughter's and I started having tea parties with them when they were old enough to walk. They always had a good time and I love that they enjoy a cup of hot tea.

This is Anna and her friend Samantha.

Anna is my granddaughter on the right.

We all had fun laughing and planning our

next outing.

I got my hubby to take this photo of us at the table.

He had to eat in the living room. 
He didn't mind, just so he had food!

We had chicken salad wraps, scones with

Lemon Curd, Cinnamon Pumpkin rolls,

Chicken Salad (not in wraps) Fruit, and

too many sweets!

I had several different kinds of tea for

them to chose from.  

Our tummies were filled and our hearts 
warmed. A good time was had by all.

Until next time,
Have a blessed Day!
