Dear Father God
I have so many things to be thankful for. Once again for the health of my dearest friend Mary Daniel. We know it was Your healing hand that helped her. Please take the edema from her also. Every day and night I thank You for my two little babies! Always grateful for their love. I ask that I once again have a good result from my mammogram today. I have no fear that anything would be different. Keep me safe as I drive my disaster of a car. I always pray for my own safety and if I have to have a problem I pray that no one else is affected but myself. I always joke that I park out front in hopes that some drunk driving too fast will hit my car and I can get one in a better condition. Actually, as You know my heart You know it's not a joke! Thank you for the good news that my granddaughter Amy does not have the flu. A strep throat is very dangerous but not as much as the flu this year. I know you were there when each of those little children died from this horrible illness. As well as those adults who lost their lives. I pray for their families. Lord, be with all those who are battling cancer and other diseases. Please touch them with your healing hand, and if that is not possible please let them know how much You love them and that You are always at their side. Keep all my family and friends safe today. I love you so much God! AMEN Good Morning Lord,
Thank you for the blessing of hearing Ted Chumley preach once again and for being able to take communion. We haven't been able to since October of last year. As I sat there pouring my heart out to You, You reminded me of some of my 'unknown' sins. I am so grateful for that. I try sincerely to be aware of those sins I have but I also know there are some, hopefully not many, that I am not aware of... that I need You to remind me of... so I can change my ways. Thank you so much for the blessing of knowing my sins are forgiven. For the blessings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Your only son, who came to save us all. ONLY through his stripes, through his blood, can I be forgiven and saved. Of all the many blessings I get every day, that is the most important one. Lord, again I ask that You keep my friends and family safe. I thank You for Your continued healing of my dearest friend Mary Daniel. What a miraculous blessing she received last week. Answered prayer for certain. I love you so much, AMEN Dear, sweet, Jesus,
I cannot thank you enough for helping me get my little man through his spasms last night. I was greatly feared I would lose him. Every morning we thank you for another day! I know I cannot have him forever, at least in this life, but I'm just not ready to go through losing him right now. You are so good to me, Lord. I thank you for every day you grant to me, and to share with my furbabies. Please keep the rain away so I can go to church this morning. Bless the Chumley family. I'm sure they know how much they are loved by the Westminster church family. I thank you for the rain. I thank you for the warmer days. You know my needs, Lord, and the desires of my heart. You always provide me with everything I could ever need and when I do not receive the 'wants', I know it's best. I love you and trust that you will always take care of me. Please take care of my family and friends. In Jesus name, AMEN Dear God, to You goes all the Glory and Honor! I scanned my earlier posts and realized how much I have to be thankful for. The many blessings every day, both big and small. God, You love me so much!
Lord, You know the desires of my heart! My first desire is to be closer to You through my Bible study, prayer and actions such as I can do. You know about my financial disaster and how I am trying to repair my errors. This has caused me great sacrifice. Now I'm afraid the greatest sacrifice of all will be my season ticket at the Wahoos ballgames this Season. For 7 years I have been so blessed to be able to attend almost every game! Each summer it has been my 'social life' and the hugs and love I get from all my baseball 'family' has truly kept me going through the off season. I believe it also gives me the opportunity to spread Your love far and wide. It wouldn't 'kill' me to be unable to attend the games this year but it sure feels like it! God, I am putting all this in Your hands! I ask Your help in finding people to buy those items I need to sell online. My deepest prayer is that I can once again attend all the games in Season 8. What a JOY it has been to be among the original Wahoos fans from the very first game! I am so grateful for everything the Wahoos have done for me, given me and for their generosity. I hope they realize it. I try to show it in many ways. God, I really do not ask for much and am so grateful for all that I get. You know my needs! You provide my needs, maybe not as I see them but certainly as I need them. This is not a 'need' I know. Not in the way of my health, housing, etc. But it is a need emotionally and mentally as it gives me so much. Okay, it's Yours, God! I relinquish the concern of if and how this is going to happen. I love You with all my heart, AMEN You have given me in the person of my little princess whom I mentor nearly every week during the school year. Lord, I cannot thank you enough. You know that I began this shortly after my husband died to help me get out at least once a week, to have some purpose to my life. Instead, meeting with her each week has not only brought me so much love but also the chance to see this little girl grow up. The love is definitely reciprocated. A couple weeks ago she said "I wish every day was Wednesday!" God, I am so thankful that she looks forward to our visits as much as I do. She knows she is loved. We talk about our desire that I get to see her become a teenager, maybe to see her graduate? She knows I am old and won't be there for her forever. Today I am going to remind myself to let her know that love doesn't die! Even when I'm not here I will still love her and will be in her heart as long as she remembers me. So this morning, God, I wan't to thank you for this little girl in my life. For keeping her safe through the awful accident last year. For helping me be a positive part of her life! There is no depth to my gratitude. AMEN go to You my Lord, God! What a magnificent God You are! How loving and caring. You keep all your promises. I know that whatever life throws at me, You and I together will get through it.
That is one promise that You have always kept. You have always provided my needs. Not always my wants but most of the desires of my heart. At 60 when I thought all was lost and had nowhere to go... You sent me Oscar and he saved my life! Because I married him I now have a modest but decent income, medical coverage, and so many wonderful memories of a man who truly loved me. The first man in my life that I could share my faith with. Lord I KNOW that Oscar is in Heaven with You and the thought of that fills me with so much JOY there is no room for grief! Oh, I miss him every day! I miss his laugh and the way he made me laugh. I miss his touch and the way he would look at me with such love in his beautiful blue eyes. Thank You so much for the blessing of 10 wonderful years with that man. Lord please be with those in the frozen tundra up North and keep all my family and friends safe. I love You God with all my being, Amen Dear Father God,
So many people in the North of this country are dealing with horrible weather. My son Dan is one of them. Please be with them all and keep all my family and friends safe. Be with those victims of the devastating fires, floods, mudslides, etc. especially those who have lost loved ones. I thank You for keeping me safe. For giving me a warm and dry place to live. I am so blessed every day! I am so grateful for those many blessings. I am so grateful for Your love and for the ability to share that love with all I meet. I love You so much it's overwhelming. Thank You for my physical health today. I am nearly without pain and it's finally warm enough in here for me so I am heading for the shower so I can make it to church. I need my church family and to be fed. I've missed it so much the past few weeks. Continue to bless me with knowledge and understanding as I read Your word each day. Continue to use me as You will. In the most Holy and precious name of Jesus, Amen What a blessing to hear the furnace kick OFF ocassionally. To not have to let the water faucet run all night! To look out and see a gentle breeze instead of a roaring wind the tends to blow through the house.
So grateful for friends like Linda across the street. She came by last night and we binge watched Outlander again. I really enjoy her company. So grateful for being able to get out yesterday and run much neglected errands finally. Hopeful that I will be able to get out to say goodbye to our wonderful team manager, Pat Kelly. Please, God, continue to bless him and his career with the Reds organization. Lord, I wake up every morning so grateful for another day. Especially for another day with my little ones. You are so good to me. Thank You for loving me so much and for taking such good care of me. I love You so very much. But then you know my heart even better than I do. Bless all my family and friends and keep them safe. AMEN Thank You, Lord, for loving me so much. You are so faithful, caring and loving. You always provide me with all my needs. Especially blessing me with my little ones. This morning I want to ask You to help me pick up my medications. Also, that I contact the computer place about the tablet so I can get it charged and working. Without it I am unable to take the photos I need to sell the trains. I cannot afford to buy the memory chip for my phone. I realized that the big reason time is so fleeting has a lot to do with my anticipation of 'payday!' Each month I pay everything I can, make sure my babies have their food and treats, and then I sit and wait out the days until all is paid out of the account to see if I have anything left. And by that time half the month, or more, has passed and I'm once again anxious for the next 'payday!' It's such a vicious cycle. I know I should not complain as there are so many people out there that don't even have the income I am blessed with. This cold weather is so hard on my poor body. I came south for the heat, Lord! I am blessed with living a good life. So far a long life. Much longer than many in my family. I am totally grateful to You for that. I also ask that you keep all my PW friends safe and give them a safe trip to the meeting. I am so sad that I must miss it, but I know I cannot handle the long trip right now. Serving You through PW has been a GREAT blessing for me. You have put many dear friends in my life through that endeavor. Please keep them safe this weekend. I Praise You Lord! I Love You Lord! I Thank You lord, AMEN |
