WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY
Good Afternoon Missouri,
Just wanted to get on here and let every one know I'm ok.... if I have not posted it is because every thing here is just plain mundane and I'm not necessarily doing anything to report... the past couple of days I've still been in pain and just doing my plain ole routine.... but sure nothing to worry about.... I LOVE you all for thinking of me...
I have been for the past week thinking and praying about what Janet said about prayer... I can guess you all probably knew I would have something to say.... but wanted to be sure first that I knew what the Lord would have me write.... I do not apologize for what I am about to say..... so if you think you are going to be offended maybe you should skip my post... I'm sure it will not be the first time someone has... but maybe just maybe you should go on ahead and read it..... I assure you it was written with much "prayer" and because I do not have a single ill feeling to ANYONE one here and truly want only the very very best in YOUR life!
Is there anything to small for us to pray about? In Matthew and in Luke the Lord states that not one sparrow falls from the sky that the Lord is not aware of and right after that he says even the hairs of our heads are numbered! This excites me! If He has numbered the very hairs of our heads... do you think there is any one "sincere" need (or even want sometimes) that we could bring before Him that is too small?
I am always so humble when someone comes to my house and is so kind and complementary and any one of you that have been here can testify that I always say that what I have the Lord gave to me! They are just material things! But I know without a doubt that they came straight from HIM! Did I pray for them... no not necessiarly but this is the point He knows our hearts desire! He chose to help me do this place the way it is because He knew it would please me and I would be faithful with it! (I humbly say that) I can't tell you how many times He provided before I ever even knew there was a need..... and those were things I did not even have to pray about..... how much more does He care about the things that concern us! Either in our lives or those we care about. How many times just on this very board alone have we rejoiced together over answered prayers that were not "life and death" so to speak.... even more so the very serious life threatening prayers He has so wonderfully answered!
I want to encourage the person (or anyone for that matter) that feels you should only pray for the "big" things to get a concordance and look up the word "prayer"..... then look up all the scripture that has the word prayer in it..... and by the end of that study you will have a different view of the role prayer plays in the life of the believer! I guarantee it! Sometimes these things are a matter of educating ourselves. The scripture says in Isaiah 55: 10&11 that just and the rains nourish the earth..... so is His word that goes out from His mouth... it will not return to Him empty but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which it was sent!!! oh glory!!! (That "oh glory" part was me I got excited over that verse! ~tee hee)
Do you really want to know what He has to say about prayer? Study it! You have the very promise He will meet you in His word and give you a fuller understanding, you will be brought closer to Him and find all kinds of treasures in the meantime!
OK there is WAY more I could say about that but I guess I better let that "sermon" come to an end..... ~ha Oh that we could fully feel the love the Lord has for us! And truly know how very much He cares about all aspects of our lives...... there is NOTHING that compares to the personal relationship I have with Him and I want even more for all of you!
I just have to add this one more thing.... if you do not own a concordance I encourage you to get one.... it will help you study out every topic that effects your lives! I've gotten so very much use out of mine! When I need an answer to something in my life ..... so many many times I have gone to the concordance and look up the appropriate word and the Lord used that to send the answer I needed! or at least it helped me to deal thru it!
Kay.... I'm really done now!
Janet ~ you just keep right on posting those prayer request... I have to say since I had surgery you have saved me considerate time I have printed out your list and took them to my chair where I could stand to set and prayed thru your list... I'm real thankful for them!
I am so very very sorry about Mike's dad.... but I am also so very very happy that you all took that trip this summer! Mike and you both will have that wonderful memory for the rest of your lives! I know when Paul's dad died two years ago in November.... Paul hurt bad! but he was not one to talk alot about it....all I could do was stay by his side and do the best I could to be there for him.... he just told me this last week... when he would have went to the farm show with him that this is the time of year he misses him the most.... boy did that hurt me to hear him say that!
Mimi~ You and Jo have a wonderful time on your trip.... I am praying you come home "full to over flowing" with all the meetings you will able to attend! and how much greater is it that you will get to have the fun of riding! I can't wait till I'm small enough and Mr. Jo can take me a ride! Can he do that Mimi if it's ok with you?! I love to feel the wind in my face!!! It is so liberating!
Renee ~ dear lady you are so full of beautiful things to say about me! I love you for that but more I hope you feel how very much the Lord loves you! You feel I'm sure in a measure like me... I know the Lord gave me all of you to be such a blessing in my life! And in more ways than you know. That's the way is is suppose to work... each of us being a blessing where ever we can and that way all the Lord's plan is accomplished! It's wonderful!
Bev in Ks ~ I am praying that the Lord is ministering to you. I know you are dealing with some difficult things and I also know He can meet your need!
Peggy..... I will be out of town now till the weekend If don't talk to you today maybe you can give me a call on the weekend? I am praying strength, healing, peace and the very comfort of the Lord for you!
Sheila ~ I am praying you make it thru the surgery and heal without too much pain just real quick!
Andrew and Susan ~ You also are in my prayers every day! I am expecting to hear you both are doing well and pushing on to that healthy life you are working so hard for!
{{{Deb}}} I have been up in "the upper room" digging around for the things I need for your surprises! I am short a few things so I have to pick them up this week while I'm in the big city.... do I have your curiosity perked up? ~ha
Blondie ~ I am hoping that you are going to look back on this next year and say, "This was a fab~u~la~tas~tic year"! Also praying that all of these health issues will be resolved.
Vesta ~ I smile every time I think of you! You are such a sweet lady!
Sangie ~ I sure pray that your support group meeting goes simply wonderful! It sounds like you are going to have a great turn out! I still think about you kicking that chair out the front door every time I think of you! That story just ministered to me and makes me sooo sooo happy for you!
Tammy~Ammy it is so good to see you back on posting.... I have missed you but know sometimes you just have to get things done or just can't seem to get your self to post.... whatever the reason I'm sure glad to hear from you ..... and so so hope you enjoy your new home!
Shannon ~ I will look forward to the time you are going to be coming thru on your way to your sons place in Springfield... it will be fantastic to meet you!
Wonder if Brenda Nutt has gotten to hold that new grand baby yet? that would simply be so exciting!
Am praying for Jeanine... she sure has a lot on her plate right now!
I'm so happy that Renee, Lou and Lynette are doing well! This is going to be such an exciting next few months for all of us....Double d...... you hang in there things will get better for you as well!
Debbie D ~ I will be gone for a few days now.... don't worry about me... I will be taking my pain meds and doing all the things I should be! I hope you have a wonderful week and I will try and give you a call when I get back.... I'm so excited for you to come next week!
I just gotta get off here and take the dreaded pain meds and get my walking done..... I will post when I get back on the weekend.
