I'm putting blinders on.......

Yup.....

What I worship....
I'm putting blinders on

My Holy Father....My God....My Abba Father!!!!!


Why, because in the majority of my life I have worshipped things or people that ALWAYS let me down....why....because nothing is perfect forever........

EXCEPT GOD!!!!

I'm learning perfect doesn't mean my way!

Why!

Because I'm not perfect!! (hope Laura--my daughter--isn't reading this!)

And why do people fear death sooooo much?

I know where I am going---- PARADISE

That doesn't sound scarry to me!! Now--how I die--that's another story!!

But I've got some cleaning to do before I die!

This was shown at our church on Sunday. And at the last scene--my hand flew up to cover my mouth as I gasped!!!

I have unfinished business, and I don't know how long I have to get it done--so it starts today!

All of you that I have wronged, I'm sorry.

All of you that I love, I want to say, 'I love you'!

And all of you that are on the fence, thinking there is plenty of time, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!!!

King of Kings

Ever make a list of your troubles?

I've got a long one!

Husband with heart problems.
Husband with circulation problems.
I have Type 2 diabetes.
I have fibromyalgia.
I have osteoarthritis.
I have hypothyroid condition.
I have a teenage daughter (but she's not trouble--just a concern).
and the list could go on.....but

which ones of those can God not take care of?

Ah---that's the great part--and even if it ends in the death of my body, I get to go to PARADISE!!!

Got problems--??? All God's children have problems--it's called life!

But I truly believe fear---true great fear is lack of faith. Concern is normal. Even a little fear, but stifling fear is should be handed over to God.

Am I completely good at this....NO! But it has been a long time. Even when Terry had his episode and died (and came back) I had this most AWESOME peace from above!

So---as the song above goes---God never lets go--so hang on with all your stregth, and even if you fall....He'll give you a soft place to land! He's great like that!


Footprints In The Sand
by Mary Stevenson (1922 - 1999)

Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach
with the Lord..

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life..
For each scene, I noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand,
one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord..

When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me
and I questioned the Lord about it:
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why
when I need you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied:
"My precious child, I love you and would
never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you."

Just as I would not get behind the wheel of my car without insurance.....I won't get out of bed without my God! I praise Him for who He is! My Savior, who paid for my sins with His life....Jesus Christ....Lord of Lord and King of Kings!
