Another Friday!
They roll around so quickly!

July 8, 2011
A day to celebrate.
Joshua is 12 today.
Oh my goodness – how did 12 years come and go so quickly.
He’s a beautiful lad; brings me much happiness.

I am confident I have shared it before but let me do it again—my life verse as some have coined it.  A verse or verses that at a time or season in your life were a ‘lifeline’ to you; verses that you would call to mind again and again and as you did you found strength to take another breath.  Verses that kept faith alive. Verses that gave you courage to keep on keeping on. And still do.

These are mine:
Psalm 145: New American Standard Bible (NASB)
17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
via Ps 145:17 – 18 – Passage Lookup – New American Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.

The particular season that brought these verses to me has gone but the strength, comfort, faith and peace that came with quoting them to myself remains.
So, what are your lifeline verses? Care to share?

So happy to report Dylan is feeling better than was expected one day after surgery; even ate some mashed potatoes today!

LaJuann’s cousin, Floyd Kittrell, will be having open heart surgery in the morning (Friday) and she has asked that we pray for his surgery and recovery.

Allison, Misty and Willow Grace are continuing to improve but all still need prayer.

ABBA, thank You for the privilege and trust we have been given to pray for these. Thank You for progress and good reports, we are delighted to receive them. And we pray for Floyd that his surgery and recovery will be text-book perfect. And I am continuing to remember others — John – that epidural he had today I pray it will bring the relief intended and thank You for Valerie’s new position, I pray she will prosper in it and others will be blessed and grateful for her position. I am still asking that you heal Kerri and Diana. And Kathy and Joe, you know the needs there even better than I and I ask for Your best for them. Randy and Jimmy – it’s been a long road for them and You have been faithful, thank You and I know You will continue, thank You, ABBA. And, we are remembering Willow Grace, Misty, Allison, Betty, Melinda, Elaine, Karen, Janet, Jenny, Carolyn and Julia, Ruth and Cynthia, Larry and Claudia, Ray and DeLois.  Thank You for hearing our hearts for each of these and others we have read. Amen and amen in JESUS Name.

Listening to the Laughter,
Kathie
