TGIF Today
God is First! All is well here at
811. 25 treatments down 9 treatments to
go.
Dear God,
I try to listen intently to all you have to tell me. Please open my mind to
hear all of the mighty things you have to teach me that I do not know. Though I
try I cannot find all of the words to
express my love for you. You are my refuge and I am overwhelmed and filled with
joy by your greatness and humbled by your love for me. Thank you Lord that my
friend Missy’s cancer scare was benign.
Thank you for being with her and holding her family close as they
anxiously awaited this wonderful news. I know that no matter what is going on
in any of our lives You are with us and you cover us with your love. Even
though there are situations on this side of heave that cause us anxious moments
and worry You have the power to calm us with the words “peace be still.” Thank your for remaining and sustaining us
through each day of our lives. I love you Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
I heard an
ad on TV today for some type of fancy treadmill. The announcer said that most
people do not exercise because of time.
But according to his claim if you spent just 14 minutes a day on this
magic machine that results would be swift and lasting. And I am sure that his
claims are fairly true if one is disciplined to spend 14 minutes a day
faithfully then endurance would increase and body shape would change as
expected.
Spending
time with God each day begins to awaken so many things inside us that perhaps
we have never thought before. God teaches
us so much about ourselves, Himself and others that it is almost impossible to
imagine how much we can learn and deepen our relationship with God. The most amazing thing is that in spending
time with God each day, God reveals Himself to us and that is the greatest and
most profound knowledge of all. Of all the plans in His command God chose to
inhabit the praises of His people and set up His temple in us. I love knowing
that I am one in whom God chose to make His home; His dwelling. This amazes me!
I love spending time with someone who is
a close as my next thought and breath.
“Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and
mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know.”

Jeremiah 33: 3
“It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from him comes knowledge and understanding.”
Proverbs 2: 6
Take joy in
the journey and spend time with God each day. Wear comfortable shoes, get some
sleep and think pink! Say an extra prayer for Bruce as he will leave in just a
few hours to have prayer and share in the prison in Wichita Falls. Please pray
for travel mercy for all of these men and that nothing will inhibit the Gospel
from reaching those who in need of hearing your message of love and salvation.
Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene
