Thursday Hugs

Sending out big hugs on this beautiful Thursday morning.  It is going to be a great day.  Have you one too!!!!  I love y'all.  

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.  (Psalm 55:22)

For so many years, I tried to take care of everything.  I tried to fix everything.  Well, I learned one thing, I only made things worse.  God wants to heal our hurts and handle our cares if we will only let Him.  I was reminded of an incident in my life last night at church.  About a week before my senior prom, my fiance', who was in the Coast Guard in Savannah Beach, Georgia called me and told me that he could not make it to the prom.  (I later found out he had another girl friend and a baby on the way).  This devastated me.  I had bought the most beautiful prom dress.  Well, my mother asked me if I wanted to get rid of the dress and I told her "no".  I kept that dress for many years and every time I would look at it, I would feel the hurt that I had felt, not because I necessarily loved him, but the rejection from him.  At the age of 40, I finally threw the dress away.  It was faded and rotten and I had kept it all those years.  What I should have done was gotten rid of that thing to begin with.  Why do we hang on to hurts and cares of this world???  God is standing right there with His hands held out to take them away and throw them out for us.  He does care and we can cast our cares, all of our cares on Him.

One of my FAVORITE verses, and I have a lot of 'em!  LOL !!!  I use to worry about everyone's problems.  My own, plus anyone else's.  I don't know why I did, but I did.  Took me a long time to stop, but when I finally did, I felt WONDERFUL!!  I too hung on to cares and hurts of other kind.  When I got rid of those by giving them to God, I felt good too.  God had to deliver me from worry and also from unforgivness.  I learned to cast/give HIM ALL my cares!!  NO GREATER FEELING!!

HE REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT US!

Love you my friend and I sure thank you for your devotions every morning!!  I LOVE them and look forwarrd to them every day!!
 BE BLESSED!!

Big Froggy Hugs to you. Love ya Froggy
