All to the glory of God
What else ya gonna do? So snow is melting, power and phones are back up and hubby is happy and back in the den surfing the net. You can plan and do whatever you want but if God isn't the reason for it, it won't be fruitful.We can do the most phylanthropic and kindest things in the world but if we aren't asking God to guide us we aren't going to accomplish to the fullest we otherwise would have. Not only do we need to seek God's guidance in whatever endeavor we do we also need to give Him the the glory and publically acknowledge His hand in it. No matter how hard we work at it, without giving God the glory our work is in vain. So remember no matter how big or how small the task at hand always acknowledge the Lord's hand in it! God bless!

Hi Karen,
I was thinking about this concept when I was on my trip to Florida. Satan tried to get me to complain throughout the trip, because of the long delays. Instead, I kept a cheerful disposition, till 1;30 in the morning when sheer exhaustion took over and I passed out in my plane seat. I had opportunity to praise the Lord over and over the entire weekend. I got to Florida, when many flights from Philly were being cancelled. I got to see the woman who disciples me, who had moved to Ocala eleven years ago. She still guides me via e-mail and phone. I got to swim outdoors, in a pool, with the sun shining through the palm trees. I got to walk on the beach and get my feet wet, and take pictures of the sunset on the Gulf. I got to park really close to the finish line of the half-marathon my son raced, and then stand at the finish line to take his picture crossing it. That was all God's doing. My son gave me the trip for Christmas, and the fact that this son wants me in his life at all is a miracle, because of the type of mother I was when he was a child. God changed me, and healed him. God gave me an awesome weekend with my son, and my friend, oh, and I got to see my Philadelphia Phillies beat the Yankees in the first Spring Training game. All because God heals and mends relationships, and gave me a new heart.
Sorry for the tangent.
Hugs,
Trish
