Hello my friends! This week went fast! Friday already tomorrow - and lots to do for preparing the guest room for my sister - for Tuesday night. Monday morning we are leaving to pick up my sister, Deil, and bringing her to my other sister's place in Mpls. and Sister LaDonna will be arriving around noon there - and we'll all be together for Sister LaDonna's birthday which is the first of July. We'll staying overnight Monday night so I won't get the Tuesday's thread out until I return on Tuesday sometime, or maybe I should just leave the Monday's go thru Tuesday and I'll start Wednesday's. Today's blessings is that my husband is feeling a bit better, and he did make his appointments and they went well. Then after he got home we did our grocery shopping and now he's resting. In the morning we find out the results of his tests. Hopefully no ecoli - sure hope not. Praying for you all!
Everything we need to deal with life's problems lies within us. Our trials
are tests to see if we can discover the solution. Lord, I call out Your name
when I face my difficulties and together we will overcome them.
Scripture for the day:
"What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is
spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from
above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but
you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with
everyone who is born of the Spirit." ~John 3:6-8
Meditation for the day:
Once I am "born of the spirit," that is my life's breath. Within me is the
life of life, so that I can never perish. The life that down the ages has
kept God's children through peril, adversity and sorrow. I can try never to
doubt or worry, but follow where the life of the spirit leads. How often,
when little I know it, God goes before me to prepare the way, to soften a
heart, or to overrule a resentment. As the life of the spirit grows, natural
wants become less important.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that my life may become centered in God more than in self. I pray
that my will may be directed toward doing God's will.
Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in
terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this
abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal
with those rough days along the way.

Heavenly Father,
This is a prayer for those of us who feel lost, unsure and spiritually dead.
Please dear Lord, help us in knowing that only through complete surrender to
you, can we know the true purpose of our lives. Father, allow us to
surrender our hearts to you and fill our emptiness with your love.
Guide us through life's uncertainties dear Lord, and allow us to trust
totally in you. I pray that through our surrender, those of us who feel
unsure about the future, about our direction in life, and about such things
as our future career, marriage partner and family, are comforted to know
that they are all taken care of before we even know it, by you.
All knowing Lord, comfort our hearts by reigniting the fire of Love. Let us
walk in the light and no longer in darkness. Rid our hearts of uncertainty,
and replace it with certainty in you. Open our eyes, and let us see that the
only steadfast thing in this world is you, and that we must trust
wholeheartedly in you great Lord.
I pray that each one of us no longer worries another day about our future,
and about lifes ups and downs as we can trust that all things happen for a
greater and higher purpose.
Father, open mankind's eyes and hearts to you. May all receive your calling
with open arms, and find peace and love in your presence.
Heavenly Father, help us to find internal peace, and through this, extend
your love through us, to others.
I pray in Jesus Name,
Amen.
