Prayer

Dear Lord God Jehovah,  we humbly praise your name. Lord, everywhere we
look we are reminded of you. Stately trees suggest your magesty. The fields
of grass or crops remind us of your providing for us. Air enables us breath
by breath to be envigorated and carries sweet odors. We are awed when we
look at the moon and stars at night to realize how tiny we are compared
with you, and yet you have made provision for each of us individually. The
hugeness of your power and strength is unfolded to us bit by bit as we rely
first on muscle power, then steam power, then atomic power, we know not
what will be in the future. Yet, God, in spite of your immeasurable
strength and power and wisdom you have considered each of us individually
and made eternal provision for anyone who expresses love to you. Such a God
brings joy with tears whenever i stop to consider. Thank you Lord.

We all take so much for granted and our attitude should be one of praise and amazement....Thank you for the reminder! Each day is a miracle and should be treated as such. Miss you.

When I read this I thought of you...
Sometimes the truth that God holds things in His hands does not quench the pain of suffering this life. So we do not understand it all… we need courage to believe the truth even when the facts seem very sad. Even if the truth does not seem to be what we want, in the end we know that God’s truth is greater than circumstance. Where there are unbearable facts in this life, Jesus proves the God the Father is not only Almighty but that His love and mercy endures for ever. (Boodie and Brock Thoene; Seventh Day; pp.181-182)
I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
The Holy Bible : New International Version. Jn 11:25-26
Thanks for teaching me to have faith in the faithfulness of God
