Trouble

Matthew 6:34 - Amplified Bible  ³⁴So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

Dad is in the hospital.  Pneumonia.

Mom is missing him.  Lonely.

Roger is transferring.  Busy.

Jon is graduating.  Searching.

Jen is applying for a job.  Anxious.

Julie is our anchor.  Settled.

Susan is overwhelmed.  Stressed. 

God is Present. Always.

I totally understand this verse from

The book of Matthew.

It pops into my head almost daily.

The words that linger in my thoughts -

"Sufficient for each day is its own trouble."

Now isn't that the truth!

No need to explain this one to me ~

I get it.

But I also get that God knows 

What I face each day.

How thankful I am to simply whisper His name ~ 

Jesus

And He hears me.

I See You Lord

I see You Lord

In my dear friends

Whose gift is that to give

Of caring hands and loving hearts

Time and time again

Each one brings joy 

Into my life with heartfelt

Love and laughter

There's no mistaken

Whose they are

For You are truly 

Their Master.

I see You Lord

In my dear friends

And thank You for each one

I ask that You would bless them

Beyond what they could measure

 I see You Lord

In acts of love

That overwhelms my heart

And prayers of those both
Near and far that brings much
Peace and comfort

I see You Lord

At dawn of day

Until the setting sun
Thank You for being
My Friend who
Sticketh closer than a brother

Attitude is Everything

The lined sheet of paper is covered in ink.
Words flow from the top to the bottom of the page.
Things to do ~ the list seems endless
And time seems short.


"Make hay while the sun shines" pops into my thoughts.


So now with the kitchen timer set to aid in motivation
And praise music filling the air I am ready to tackle my chores
Remembering all the while 
My attitude is everything.


And when I begin to feel overwhelmed by the daunting 
"To Do List"
I will pray, O Lord, according to Your Word I can give my
Worries to You and You will take care of me.
Psalm 55:22

The Traveler's Psalm

Early this morning as I was praying
Psalm 121: 1-2 kept coming to my mind.

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills-
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth."

I opened my Bible to read the words.
After I read it,
I heard it,
On the radio.

Affirmation.
My help does come
From the LORD.

The title of this post
Is the title in my Bible for this scripture.
The Traveler's Psalm
And it is significant in our lives.

Today we begin a new journey.
Without a doubt I know God placed
This scripture on my heart and in
My thoughts.

Verse 8 spoke to me ~
"The LORD will guard you
As you come and go, both
Now and forever."

How thankful I am for God's
Love letter.
It always brings
A Timely Word.
