Daily Positive Thread for Friday

Hello my friends! Today I never did get over to Darla's for her ultrasound - first of all, she had her doctor's appt. in the morning. Her blood pressure was high again, and they almost sent her straight to the hospital!! But they took it five times, and then only one time was high, the rest were good so she could come home. Has to take it often and go back again to the doctor on Monday. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, my daughter, Darla, 42, is expecting identical twin girls in a month or sooner now, and just recently her blood pressure shot up, she never had high blood pressure before. So we were having guests over tonight for supper, I cancelled them and they understood, we are going over to Darla's tonight and spending the night. Right now her sister is over there. We won't let her alone. Tomorrow night around midnight her husband comes home from a business trip, he was gone since Monday. My husband was there for her ultrasound, saw such a pretty CD picture of one twin girl, said we have beautiful grandgirls! Don't know when I'll get home tomorrow, but I'm taking my tablet along. Praying for you all and thanks much for your prayers for us.

We are partially responsible for every wrong which we had the power

to prevent. Lord, grant me the courage to not look the other way when

I could make a difference.

S C R I P T U R E   F O R   T H E   D A Y

"There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy
habitation of the Most High." Psalm 46:4

M E D I T A T I O N   F O R   T H E   D A Y

We seem to live not only in time but also in eternity. If we abide with
God and God abides with us, we may bring forth spiritual fruit which can
last for eternity. If we live with God, our lives can flow as some calm
river through the dry land of earth. It can cause the trees and flowers
of the spiritual life--love and service--to spring forth and yield
abundantly. Spiritual work may be done for eternity, not just for now.
Even here on earth we can live as though our real lives were eternal.

P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y

I pray that I may try to make my life like cool river in a thirsty land.
I pray that I may give freely to all who ask my help.

GOD'S DIRECTION

Draw me Lord and show me your smile,
Give me your strength to go the next mile.
Guide me along to the path I must go,
and show me just what I am needing to know.
Cover me, Lord and protect my next steps,
as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
Hide me ever so close, and be forever my Rock,
for my vessel is solid and ready to dock.

YOU SHALL
Author Unknown

You shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human
activities.

You shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to
pass.

You shall not carry grudges, for they are the heaviest of all life's
burdens.

You shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a
time anyway.

You shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor
bedfellows.

You shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for
them than you.

You shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever
gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!

You shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear
ideas different from your own.

You shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is
rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.

You shall count your blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for
a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.

Even When

Even when you have failed before, there is still every possibility of
success.

Even when one door is closed, another door will open.

Even when the situation appears to be hopeless, there is indeed hope.

Even when your options and your resources seem to be exhausted, there is
still something more you can do.Why is this so? Because the past does not
equal the future. Because you are endlessly adaptable, resourceful and
determined to go where you know you must go, to do what you know you must
do. Because in this moment, you can move beyond anything at all that may
have previously held you back.

Even when defeat appears certain, victory is well within reach.

Even when the night is at its darkest, dawn is already on the way.Never give up, never give in, even when everything before has been a disappointment or a
disaster. Because everything ahead can be just as you decide to make it.

-- Ralph Marston

Jesus Calling

June 16

Stay on the high road with Me. Many voices clamor for your attention, trying to divert you to another path. But I have called you to walk ever so closely with Me, soaking in My Presence, living in My Peace. This is My unique design for you, planned before the world began.

I have called each of My children to a different path, distinctly designed for that one. Do not let anyone convince you that his path is the only right way. And be careful not to extol your path as superior to another’s way. What I require of you is to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Me—wherever I lead.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
—Ephesians 2:10

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
—Micah 6:8

Prayers for happy, healthy babies! I'll also pray for strength for Darla. I bet she is ready for those girls to make an appearance. I'm sure this is stressful for all of you, but as you know, God is keeping all of you close.

Prayers for Darla and the babies. May God watch over them and bring them to a successful and healthy birth. Thanks for not leaving her alone. Someone should be with her until the births. She will love having you there. Make her rest as much as possible. Prayers just said.
