981.  Well, I am beginning week 4 of shingles, a very painful and miserable condition.. I thank you, Lord, for bringing me to and through this.  It has been a time of suffering and great set back. And I confess .i have negotiated the waters of depression, But, I understand you in new ways because of my low position and suffering.  And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

1 Peter 5:10 | NIV.  My help, comfort, and hope is ALL from you, Lord!

982.  I am thankful that God empowered me to be able to host my prayer group here today. Even though we had torrential storms, we still had 4 of us in concerted prayer over our nation, the world and our locality. It was a great time before the Lord!

983. I am thankful for an end to the impeachment that I do agree was an unfair political ploy that divided the country and spent billions  of taxpayers money for NOTHING,

984.  I am thankful for the delightful thinking of you card I received yesterday from my Sunday School class, as well, as one from my dear friend, Dot! So much encouragement expressed,I am truly blessed!

985.I thank you , Lord, for the thunder we had today, and that the rains have stopped, I love thunder and haven’t heard it in a few years.  I had missed it, I used to love to lay on my bed as a youngster and enjoy the thunder on summer afternoons. We really haven’t had any in some time.  I pray no one is dealing with flood issues today.

So glad  Birdie  loved on my  fav cousin, Gary...  He  has a huge heart for the kiddies!!!

that was high on my  wanna do list!

931. We  went out for breakfast  this morning to the Toastery...   What a treat.. I got my favorite..

906.  God is so good...  I am thankful   for the change in the weather,,  we had  several days of refreshing and easy rainfall...  no flooding  or  seeping...even though we did get several inches in a few days..Thank you,  Father.

Hubs got to install the weather measuring  apparatus on the roof of the garage   this week!

907. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to  visit  Crystal Spring several times already this month,  a delightful fellowship of believers  who are so welcoming, and   the  pastor is  so down to earth and friendly, even though he is, also,greatly dynamic  Doctor of Divinity. He has a real servants heart. I am beginning to feel rather at home there!
         
908.  Thank you,Father,  for  healing my inner eye  so well that I truly believe that when I do to the surgeon tomorrow for my biopsy, he will say,  there is nothing to  bi-op! I have certainly had many, many prayers for healing, and  Hubs, nor I, see anything there any more...!

                 
                   

909.  Today was an amazing day  of prayer with our SOS group.  We had a full house and  everyone had such a precious time together, no one wanted to leave... thank you , that Hubs  was able to  take part even though  this afternoon his cold has  manifest and he is feeling terrible...  Have mercy on him, Lord..  May this    cold be short lived and  may he be  back to himself  very soon!!


910. Father, thank you that when I called the allergy/ sinus doctor this morning  he had an appointment for me early next week.. May this  sinus problem  respond to the Zyrtec and become a non issue  when I see him about  starting up my allergy shots again now that I am off a beta blocker.

876.  So much for which to be thankful... including my dear husband.. He  has been working so hard lately  just trying to please me, I think...  doing    yardwork and items around the house..  finalizing odds and ends that  haven't been  done in quite a while..

I  really only want him to take good care of himself!

877.   Our daughter and  grand daugthers are such a joy to us..  those  girls change so much. so quickly,,

the older I get, the harder it seems to be so separated  from them  living 7 states apart.

878. For the small little blessings I see all the time..  God's gifts ....    especially in my  over all health, ability, and renewing strength.  But  even  small things like    walking around the corner of the house to see a   beautiful blue bird   before it suddenly takes flight, or a bunny  by the flowers!

879.  Thankful that Hubs family is closer than ever before...  I mean his cousins..  All of his  primary  family  ( Parents and siblings passed  over 25 years   ago.Wow, hard to beleive,  but yes it was  almost 30 years.)  But once his older  cousin moved back to the area,- a girl, she was instrumental in getting all the girls  and their spouses together..  Yes, Hubs is the only man,  but he loves them and we meet once a month  for dinner out..  We will meet this weekend!   

880. I am thankful for all kinds of music.  LIke right now I am listening to Pandora, my Anuna station... I absolutely love the  rather new age/ celtic sound of it..  It always puts me in a calm and relaxed mood.. 

881.  I love  the  milder  even cooler weather we are  experiencing  these days...  even with rain in the forecast tomorrow...  I  love it when summer takes its time in coming and we enjoy  these wonderful days of spring!

882.  I absolutely love when sweetie Hubs  takes me by surprise and we stop      by Dairy Queen..

He knows what I like!!

872.  We cannot help to see  so much in our physical world  for which to be thankful...  for even nature cries out glory to God.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” (Psalm 19:1-4)

Eventide at the gloamin'

873.Glory and praises to God for his handiwork in spring!

The flower marts are laden with treasures  from the soil!

“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” (Isaiah 55:12)

874.   I am so thankful for the  beasts of the field who give freely of their gifts  that life may be  completely enriched and with nourishment and peace!

Genesis 1:26,"Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth"

875. I am extraordinarily thankful for the love of God who sent His only begotten Son to live and die on earth as the spotless sacrifice. atonement for the sins of the world.

His ministry to the people

His perfect example of seeking time alone with God, the Father

Fully man,  Jesus    prepared to follow the Father's  will for His death on the cross!

Mark 14:35-36 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36 “Abba,Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Carrying my cross wounded for my transgressions

Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities;The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,And by His stripes we are healed.

                       

"It is finished"

“It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:30)

Death could not hold Him.. He is risen!

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55“O death, where is your victory? O death ... 57 But thanks be to God,who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have believed He was who He said he was,  that He died and rose again and  is now seated in heavenly places.  I have  spoken with my mouth that "He is Lord, "and 

I am redeemed!!

Praise  The Lord!
