Voices of doubt...

It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. Hebrews 11:7a

My boys and Me...

project supplies over at blair creek

Come visit my picture trail for lots of project supplies...I have fabric....did I mention, I have FABRIC? Come have a looksie

but I believe it...

I can't see it, can't feel it, but somehow, Faith, Hope, let me believe it...don't know what the future holds for this boy, once dependent on me and father.
I believe God has a plan, his promise was that, a future, with Hope...plans to prosper, and not to harm. It was only for a moment he was mine to hold. So many prayers I prayed for him, as an infant I held him while christened, promised to teach him Love, Faith, Hope...prayed over him while he was young, near death's door, prayed over this child to follow the Father, obey, believe Him, His word, His truth, when he began to drive, now as he begins his future...I prayed for my love to give him roots, to help him find his wings. I'll have tears as he takes off, but I'll cheer as he flies...

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. -Proverbs 22:6

Cody with best friend Mason. My wish is that each Mother should be so fortunate to have such a fine young man be a friend to her son...

would you dare...

Do you wonder why you have to
Feel the things that hurt you
If there’s a God who loves you where is He now

Maybe there are things you can’t see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending

Someday somehow you’ll see you’ll see

Would you dare would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It can’t compare to the joy that’s coming
So hold on you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning

My friend you know how this all ends
You know where you’re going
You just don’t know how you’ll get there
So say a prayer

And hold on cause there’s good for those who love God
But life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time but you’ll see the bigger picture

Once you feel the weight of glory
All your pain will fade to memory

It’s just the hurt before the healing
Oh the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning

Even in the darkest, loneliest, most distant days.....we must never forget God~

Hungry

Jesus' disciples said to him, "Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." But he answered, "You give them something to eat." - Mark 6:36-37

Have you ever been hungry, really hungry? Maybe you skipped breakfast or lunch so that by the next meal you felt starved, even shaky. Now imagine not being able to relieve that hunger.

Sometimes we take for granted that God will supply us with the "daily bread" we ask for in the Lord's Prayer. We may even think like the disciples in the Bible reading for today - that those who are hungry can go and buy something to eat if they want to. But the evening news tells the real story. Hunger is a part of our time, just as it was in Jesus' time. Even in our own neighborhoods - in my little town, in small cities, and in big cities like Dallas, Chicago, and others - people need food.

I am proud that my church provides a space for a local food pantry. In this multi-denominational ministry, we work together to feed our neighbors. We are doing what Jesus told the disciples, "You give them something to eat."

I want us always to remember Jesus' words in Matthew 25: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me" (verse 40).
William O. Palmer (Pennsylvania, USA)


Lord, open our eyes to see those around us who are hungry. Then touch our hearts and soften them so that we become willing to feed them. Help us to care for our neighbors in need. Amen.

God's Hands...

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
