What If......



Wow!  Interesting question.
Sharing God's blessings in my Grace-Filled Days:

345.          A new friend and mentor, Marg, to meet and talk with.
346.          A really fun day with hubby, son, and son’s girlfriend – church, lunch, and a good movie.
347.          Strength to stick to a tough decision in my life
348.         My son having the same strength with his own life choices.
349.         A quiet morning to think, pray, and listen to God speak.
350.         Awesome Christmas Eve Service!
351.          Beautiful, Sunny Christmas Day
352.      Rest and relaxation 

Hoping you are finding time to rest, recoup from the Holiday weekend, and recount all the blessings the Lord bestows upon you!

    Hi Ann, Thanks for joining my blog the other day! So good to "meet" you. Your #347 here jumps out at me. Seems I've been praying daily for strength too. Praying you feel it for what you need it for. :)

    Thank you Maureen! Strength definitely has come only from the Lord! I would never have had strength on my own. I will keep you in my prayers, as well!

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
