Happy Saturday!
(Note: I didn't get the previous post on the blog until a few minutes ago. Bruce)
Morning began with
coffee with Lamar and watching A League
of their Own. A great way to begin
the day after being “on call” on Friday.
Thank you all for your continued prayers as I continue in this part of
my education. I counted today and I have
20 more days.
Prayer: “Dear Lord, I bless You on this morning for
being with me all the time. I thank You
that whether I am on the mountaintop or in the valley, You are there. I pray this morning that I will live out my
faith today. I pray my life will be
known as a living testimony for You. May I be able to comprehend the privileges
afforded to me by You. Amen.”
“Pray without ceasing, in everything give
thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
1 Thessalonians 5: 17, 18
I love to pray. In the morning as I am driving to the
hospital I pray for the day, listen to my devotion and then pray until I get to
work. I get to pray a lot throughout the
day as I pray with patients and their families at their bedsides. The most wonderful thing about prayer is that
we can pray anytime about anything. God gave
us this gift of prayer so that we could stay in constant fellowship with Him
without interruption. Prayer is the tool
that keeps us continuously aware of God’s presence. When I am walking to a patient’s room or to
the trauma unit I ask God to be there before me. When I step into the room I
feel God’s presence within the room and my prayers have more power because the
One to Whom I pray is already there.
When we pray we need
to pray with a thankful heart even when we have trouble finding a reason to be
thankful. A thankful heart turns to God
because God desires our praise and thanks.
Praying about everything and praying with a thankful heart increases our
daily communion and fellowship with God.
God created us to have relationship and fellowship with us. Let us stay in contact with the One who
desires and loves us so very much.
Take joy in the
journey. Wear comfortable shoes and get
some sleep. Count your blessings and say your prayers. Love you all so very much, Bruce, Gaylene,
Geni and Travis.
I am not moved by what
I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I
believe God.
