WOW!

Words 

Of 

Wisdom Needed!

5 words or less could help!

Bobby A. quoting 5 words from "Crazy Ada"---"Oh, just forget about it." Sometimes that can be the "best" advice! When taken with the intent to quit "stewing" about things you can't change or don't mount to a hill of beans, forgetting, as to let go, can help. 

Pithy with a Punch!

A need for this age-related + memory-loss lady.

 

Fewer words with deeper truths to remember. 

Think.....Peace Giving. (John 14:27)

GOD'S GRACE

KEEPS PACE

WITH WHAT WE FACE! (Buddy A.)

GOD'S GRACE.....

I EMBRACE....

TO GUIDE MY PACE. (DAL)

Praying.....Rein me in LORD, away from distractions and busyness, to love you more and serve others well!

S.I.S.

S.I.S.----each of you. Listen up!

Struggles Increase Strength.....for those who suffer according to God's will. There is a point; His point.

Joni Erickson Tada, whose suffering season of disability will last a life time, shared once on a JoniandFriends Video of the time she had voiced these words from her soul---Tired, weary, collapsed, heavy, sad and defeated. Not voiced as a prayer. Yet, 30ish minutes later she felt a brightness in her chest as if God had answered what she hadn't even known was a prayer. She saw this as evidence (Isaiah 40:29) that God gives power to the faint and to those who have no might, He increases strength.

In The Way of The Wildflower,* Ruth Chou Simons stated, "It's grace that suffering isn't purposeless" (p. 110) and "It's grace when things don't happen according to my plan but happen for my good." 

(p. 111)

Psalm 72 says, "God will deliver the needy who cry out"!

"Find Strength in Struggle."

Cry out, S.I.S.----Loud and Clear!!
