Care Giver................
As I was reading these verses today, It got me thinking. In my life I have almost always been the care giver. Even as a child I had to care for myself. My Mother was busy and emotionally removed. My Husband has never been good at that roll, he cares for me but is not a care giver. And of course, I am the care giver of my children.
The only person who has ever filled the care giving role in my life has been my friend Tracy. She started out as my employee, but before I new it she was so much more. She cared for my home, my kids, and me. To this day, although she is not in my employ, she is my friend and gives care for me. She prays for me, she goes above and beyond to make sure my heart is right.
Caring for some one in the care giving roll is to take action, to give, to care. It is such an important roll. When we are caring for someone we are doing God's work. When we feel a strong urge to help and to give care for another person, I believe that is straight from the Lord. It is spirit led.
I am only posting two verses today. I love these verses. Because it tell me HE cares. I know that as I care for people and when people care for me.
Give your "care giver " a hug today. And remember all Love comes from above.
Nahum 1:7
The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

In all of the years of being saved. The biggest thing I have always struggled with is my mind. My thought wonder..rarely to a good place. I struggle and struggle to "right my mind".

The Living God......
Something you may not know about me.... I am a bit of news and political junkie.
I like to know whats going on in the world. I try not to let it effect my heart. It is a struggle though, if you let to much of the world in your spirit can be effected.
There is a particular show I like to watch for the politics, but the host however is a unbeliever, he baffles me. I always think how can such a smart guy not believe. Even before I was saved..I believed. I just had not connected. Maybe unbelievers think of God in the abstract. As a theory not as a Living God.
I believe in the living God.
I have felt Him. I have prayed and he has answered. I have mourned and He has comforted.
I have been Lost....Then found!!
Anyway these verses are a reminder of the true Living God!!
Psalm 42:2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
Psalm 84:2
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Matthew 16:16
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
2 Corinthians 3:3
You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
1 Timothy 4:10
(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.

Feeling my Weaknesses......
Do you ever have one of those days.....Where all you see are your own weaknesses. I had one of those days today. I felt like I was looking into a magnifying mirror. Where all I could see were the flaws and imperfections. I needed to step back and see the whole being and remember.....
His Power Is Made perfect in my Weakness

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Got Light ???
Are you like I am ? Do you see a lot of darkness in the world today? All around me I see folks who are sad, rude, angry and seem to have no trouble lying. I find home a very nice place to be after being out in the world. At least most the people here love me . But seriously. People are walking in darkness. It makes me want to scream. There is a way out!! It is in the Bible.
O.K. enough ranting. I guess the best thing to do is be an example of walking in the light and hope someone follows.
Have a Happy Sunday

For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

May God be given the glory forever! Amen.
Waiting is the Hardest Part......

The Circle of Love
Once along time ago I heard a teaching on love. The teaching explains that all true love comes from the Holy Spirit, a gift , That love is a self fulfilling circle . You receive love from the Spirit, You give love through and on behalf of the Spirit and back again. When you are walking in love life just goes much better. Love covers.
But ...surprisingly we all slip off the track now and again. Lately I have been struggling with some of the people in my life. I am trying to get back in the circle of the Lord's love.
The word tells me The Lord cares for me. I love the Lord. Love covers those I love.
Now, God help me put this in action.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Nahum 1:7
The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,
Psalm 91:14
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
Psalm 33:5
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Heavenly Father....
When I was an infant my father died in a tragic accident. I grew up fatherless for the most part. There were a miserable string of substitutes . None of them worthy of a mention. I really had no idea what a good father looked liked. Let alone a good man. So years later when I was saved.....I realized my Father was there all the time. A great example right there in the spirit. The Word shows us what a wonderful father looks like. Amen?
Isaiah 64:8
Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Be Still and Quiet........
The afternoons in my home are everything but still and quiet. By the end of the day I am frazzled.
There are a lot of times in my day where stress takes over. My shoulders tighten and my thoughts are spinning. In the moment I am lost in what's going on around me. I wish in these moments someone would sit me down with these lovely verses. I really love the phrase in Zep 3:17.....He will quite you with his love...........
Ahhh better!!
Psalm 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Zechariah 2:13
Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
1 Peter 3:4
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

Forgive....................
So, these are some verses on forgiveness. I think it is the hardest thing to do for us sometimes.
I am working pretty hard on it myself today.
Yesterday afternoon my Husband went golfing with my oldest son. Brian(my son) called last minute for Dad to fill a foursome. After the round they stopped for a beer. No big deal except...it was our anniversary and Dad forgot. So, when he returned home quite late and a little sloshed. He didn't say a word..Not even a oops . I know after 20 years together. It's silly...but my heart is a little broken.
Well on to forgiveness...send prayers please.
Mark 11:25
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Romans 4:7
"Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
