                                                        💚💚On my mind💚💚

If you did not her,  my biopsy came back  benign, so I am thrilled  about that!  Last weekend we went to Williamsburg  to celebrate our anniversary and   we  returned home with colds.   Mine has  exacerbated   my allergies, and is just    bothersome.  Lynn is much worse   with    malaise , coughing and it is continuing  into this week as well!  Work on the house has been suspended until further notice.  On a bright note!!  The kids are coming  for Easter!  I can't believe it!  Of course, they were will be with each  on the inlaws  a short time, but I  do know that they will be with us on Easter Sunday to go to church with us.  I am  so excited about that! I  am planning the menu and   and Easter baskets for the girls. I even called Lancaster, Pa to a gift shop there where I bought some young reader books on Amish life that they loved  so much and I am hoping I can get  a couple of new books from them   which would be a great surprise.  Our girls are crazy about reading! The man I spoke to  was very hopeful and so very   helpful!   I am blessed!!

💚💚How I am feeling💚💚 

I was very pleased that  my back and walking had  improved over our trip to Williamsburg. and I was able to walk around  the historic and shopping area as much as I wanted to. The problem is  this back weakness and pain  is very  unreliable.  I have to  do  stretches and exercises every  morning and then  it is quickish  until I  do  quite a bit of walking around.  I  really have to make  walking  a priority as the weather  continues to improve.  I found out  that the low back pain comes form a contracted  posts muscle  that    causes pain in my lower back and that radiates both sides across my hips  and keeps me from standing straight!  My mom suffered with this.    This simple exercise can   really help with this!

💚💚Prayer and devotional :💚💚

 I know this is long  but it all so  important!

Our government leaders to seek God, stop the politics  during this   terrible time  during  the Ukraine  war.  

 We are hearing of many ways to safely  send  funds to  working getting food and supplies to the refugees.   May many here  be led too  participate in that effort! 

Pray for the fear of the Lord to spread  among all people.  

  Even as peace talks seem to be taking place we pray that in truth Putin is ready for cease fire and chooses wisely to withdraw!

Prayer about the influx of illegals into our nation,  as the covid ban on immigration comes to an end, we pray that something can be done to quell the invasion of many at our border seeking entrance. and the possible spread of disease and covid.. 

Father, we rebuke the spread of covid and its attaching deviants.. even with this last new strain, we pray that it is such a weak one that when it attacks a body it will be more cold like and easily overcome.  InJesus name!!  

 And Father  even as I  had written the above we do thank you for the  apparent  ceasing of mandates and pray that  is due to a dramatic decline in the spread of covid!  May it dissipate completely in Jesus name!!!

We pray for the places everywhere that persecution is taking place...

For healing of the sick,

salvation of the lost,

deliverance for the hurting,

the supply, food, and building shortage problem: may it not become

a huge crisis   We say NO to the drear  outlook  some are reporting  about our supply and  the inflation .. 

I am thinking now if the dire reports from farmers not only here but around the world. With the high cost of fuel farmers struggle to be able to produce as usual, plus fertilizer is scarce. This could create a worldwide food shortage worse than anything we have ever seen because of the hug3 population ..much more than during the Depression! 

Oh, Father, this is such a dire possibility it truly makes one wonder if we are facing the end of. the end times. You told us in your word in Matthew 24 there would be wars, earthquakes, pestilences, starvation, diseases if many  kinds. Besides that world events centered about Israel are aligned as well. Oh, Father, if the end of the end times is coming upon us, we pray for the lost

We pray for the church to awaken and be about your work in the world to save as many as will be saved according to your will! 

We know that it is satan who comes to rob, steal, and destroy and we, by the power of Jesus name, say STOP NOW,  You may not   have the resources of the people.We also pray for godly wisdom to overtake our leaders  that they will deal with the world circumstances with the USA's best interest in mind.  

Churches to arise and pastors to preach according to our times and

these days.. very vital! For the churches to repent and get straight

before a holy God. We have become too lax in our Christianity and

we need to be more persistent to seeking God and His Word!  Lord, prepare your people to be ever minded  that our work here is to lead others to Christ. Too often  we  fail  to do this,  I pray for  opportunity and   

the will to do your will in Jesus name
