Week 42

Wednesday! Already?

I have been absent from more than just this screen. And I still am.  I thought I’d just show up here even though I am doubtful that I have anything noteworthy to say.

I did take a sewing lesson today at All About Sewing.  It was fun. If you’d like to check out their website, click HERE. And I’ve been checking out a new organizational website, learned about it at sewing class today. I have not given it a fair evaluation as yet but I have signed up for the email updates and the calendar service. Are you ready? The name is Fly Lady. Click HERE for a link to see what I am talking about.

Did you know there are 10 weeks left in year 2011?

My meditation verse for week 42 is this:

Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in His good time He will honor you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you. I Peter 5: 6-7 NLT

That is worthy of meditating on for a week don’t you think?

Please remember that Wednesday is my day to pray for you by name or email address (if I don’t have your name).  If you have a specific need or request that you would like to share with me, please email me HERE. Otherwise, click HERE and pray for others who so need our prayers!

Receiving

Perhaps this line from Kimberly’s post today will encourage you to pop over and read the rest:

“. . . the harder I work for God’s love, the more I am actually pushing away from that love. . .”

Peace – Quiet

We Thompsons are quiet and blessed with the Peace of GOD our Savior this Tuesday afternoon.  In light of a funeral service tomorrow, I hesitate to use the word enjoying but it’s a fair description of where we are today: grateful for the quiet, the calm and the peace within the four walls of this home and our hearts. Our GOD is GOOD!!

So I’d like to direct you all for some encouraging reading over to Kimberly’s Blog again today. Words to Sink My Roots In is the title of her post today.  Take the time to read it and you just might find a word you need.

Thank you for your prayers for us and please don’t forget the many others: Click HERE and pray so we can keep

A Better Offer

We have a week ahead of us that covets your prayers.

I layered the top of my salad with Roma tomatoes immediately after church today thinking we would be sharing it with Jerry’s Mother. That was not to be. She got a better offer this morning – Lunch with JESUS.

The invitation came peacefully and quietly as she slept we believe – what a blessing to begin the journey from here to THERE in just that way.

2 Corinthians 5:7-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—
8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
