SATURDAY SHORT!

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8)

Key Prepositions all about Him---IN, ON, FOR.

Pair with verbs as needed.....even if it's not Saturday!

TRUST! RELY! WAIT! BELIEVE! REJOICE! RELAX!

MEANDERING MONDAY!!

The actual meandering took place last week but it took awhile for me to load the video.

 The sound,................... which I'm still trying to get,

.........is what calmed me on my most recent meandering!

SWEETEST GIFT!

Sometimes "bearing with one another in love" (Ephesians 4:2) 

can be the sweetest gift one can give;

To a needy loved one,

To a stranger, 

To a friend,

To a spouse of 56 years, 6 months & 5 days.

At our house, I am the recipient as hubby is more than my Uber, chief cook and bottle washer. He gives up his time to care for me.....even searching our town when I have a food hankering.

Think shortbread cookies.

Today, I get to look forward to homemade short bread cookie used to create a "Pink Cadillac" ice cream sandwich with soft-serve vanilla ice cream and homemade jam.Then frozen..... 

A pink and red delight for Valentine's Day.

Pink Cadillac, Voted Best in North Carolina for Ice Cream Sandwiches-YELP

The sweetest gift given by the "Sweetest Gift Giver" in NC.

PRAYER PLACES!

I have "plopped" for prayer in many places!

The phone table at 2211 with a party line, though I'm not sure of many prayers in those early years.

Hospital rooms as I visited others. 

Homes and porches of many friends and funerals.

Church pews, as I attended weddings.

Fireside @ Camp Loucon, Lake Junaluska, Pinecrest and the Cove.

In Hungary it was in a field of sunflowers.

In Ukraine it was by the river at Kompas Park between sessions with kids.

In Antalya, Turkey it was on a sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast between speaking times at a Biblical conference under the guise, for safety, of a business leadership event.

In the mountains of Tlapia, Mexico, a cloth was over my head.

In Costa Rica it was on a train bench in the rain forest.

In Honolulu, Hawaii it was seated on boat ride to the USS Arizona with a snarky, pushy line-breaker. I had to pray for forgiveness for my attitude.

In my "Prayer Chair," in our Tennessee home, often occupied by a grand. 

During this season, with "final" move to NC, I can plop on a large prayer chair, stretch out on a bed, kneel on a floor pillow or stand and look out an eastern view of the mountains because this home has a "prayer room"....... A PERFECT PLOPPING PLACE!

 What a view for worship..... a worthy place to plop and pray for all those devoted to prayer. (Colossians 4:2)!

ROADSIDE REVELATION!

Movement is important........think critical for me........ during this new season of building needed muscle mass.

Often that requires exploring new places to peak my interest.

Recently that required a drive to the boonies. "

There in the scrub of small trees and tall grasses were 8 important words for all to remember!

Eternal thank you to the "Alpha and Omega....the One who was and is and is to come!" (Revelation 1:8)

WORTH REPEATING...............TRUE GRATITUDE FLOWS FROM A GRATEFUL HEART!

REGARDLESS OF THE LANGUAGE!

FELLOWSHIP / BEYOND FRIENDSHIP!

Abide in the Lord (the vine) love one another.

Y'all-ianity--a community of believers. Folks who love one another "in Christ" 

Southern speak of sorts, created by Pastor Buddy. 

Y'all-ianity that rolls off the tongue and flows from the heart..

Fellowship beyond friendship!

COVERED IN PRAYER!

Yesterday's mail included a card of prayer from a God Squad prayer warrior. She has been covering me in prayer for many years as different health issues, often rare ones, arise. I saw that most recent card again this morn on my prayer chair. Her inscription let me know she still prays for me. 

That's how she uses God's word to protect me; she covers me in prayer.  (Psalm 91:4)

Jesus, my intercessor, does the same. God, the Lord Almighty, My Maker and Comforter has "covered me" (and those who seek Him and pursue righteousness) with the shadow of His hand as His word reminds me in Isaiah 51:16.

Praises for being covered in prayer by God and His people.

Think being protected & enveloped in His Presence.

Wrapped in prayer like a gift. 

May I reciprocate----whether in health or weakness!
