Life Is Fragile

Today my beloved and I are painfully aware again that life is fragile.  In a moment life is swallowed up and there’s an empty space. This time it’s in the backyard.

Susie.

We miss her. The backyard is bare without her. She was an exceptionally good companion.  Playful. Excitable. Obedient most of the time. Non-malicious all the time.  Unconditional love. That’s what she gave us. A yellow lab named Susie, her little heart so big with love went quiet today and our hearts are more than sad. As we gave her a resting place of honor in the side yard we thanked her and her Creator for the memories.

We miss you, Susie.

Thank You, Father, for creating companions that teach us about You.

Joy to you,

PM. A fine time to be saying ‘Good morning’ isn’t it?

Days don’t always shape up the way we want. Lots of things do not shape up like we want. Some things take on shapes we did not imagine. But it is what it is.

So today this is what I prayed just now:

ABBA, I cannot get skinny today. And I can’t get back the hours I have already spent, but I am willing for You to show me what You can do with me in the remaining hours of this day.

And with that if you are in a similar place as I am; bow your will to His and see what He can do with you!  DADDY GOD willing, see you again soon right here at The White Stone.  :)

Hold On Room

First thing in my journal this morning was a request for help.

And the first Scripture I read was this:

13 For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you.

via Is 41 HCSB – The LORD versus the Nations’ Gods – Bible Gateway.

Not all answers and assurances come that quickly but when they do the proper response is gratitude and holding on to the promise. I’m  delighted to share my Scripture with you this morning and there is plenty of hold on room for you too.

I know. Some answers are long in coming. And when they are our response must be the same: gratitude and holding on to the promises. 

Hold on today! Or perhaps it is one of those days when you just can’t hold on? That’s okay.  LET Him hold YOU today.

Praying for sisters and brothers to LET Jesus hold them today.

ABBA, thank You. You are awesome. You listen. You hear. And You answer when Your children call. Thank You for answering our fears with Your very own voice. And You say do not fear, I will help you. And there is nothing too small or too large. You help with it all. Thank You. Dawn. Help her today do all that demands to be done. And there are others. Many others, ABBA. Thank You for helping us. Thank You in JESUS name.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!
