Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

What a beautiful morning on the porch!  I absolutely love soft, rainy mornings, as I write. The multitude of colors the sun produces, as it peeks through the clouds, is incredible. Oranges, blues, purples sing the praises of the morning.

Sipping my Cup of Fancy, (Jamaican Me Crazy Decaf..splash of cream) out of my Granny’s favorite china cup, along with viewing all of this color, makes me take a breath of praise.

The colors in my palette speak of calm, peace, and rest. I’ d love to have an outfit made of these colors, or do a painting in a Monet Style.

It is absolutely amazing……the peace of Christ that passes all understanding. It is something that can’t be explained.

I have two Sisters in Christ who are members of our “God Squad Bible Study.” They have both been widowed within the last 2 years.

All I can tell you is that it is The Holy Spirit of God, that lives within them, that keeps them sane, and at peace.

They know that it’s God and only God….there is no other explanation.

They keep themselves busy with family, part time jobs, and church activities.

There is an essence of joy within their spirits that can only be explained by 3 words: The Holy Spirit.

Yes there is a grieving process…but once The Holy Spirit takes over, you will be given rest.

When I was teaching full time, my half hour at bedtime or sometimes before I walked out the door, set my mind frame to be at rest during the day.

Praise You, ABBA, for taking care of me and for teaching me that spending time in Your Word daily transforms my mind and actions.

MY CHILD: Matthew 11:28 “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” This is the primary scripture that explains it all.

Go into a quiet room, light a candle, make yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and spend time with ME…..then I can teach you…transform you….and quiet your spirit.

The Book of Psalms is especially good for quieting your soul….and allows Me to enter….and form a DEEP RELATIONSHIP with you.

I love you.

Your,

ABBA, Father

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all of your anxiety upon him, because He cares for you.

Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you always. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame..  You will be like a well-watered garden.. like a spring whose waters never fail.

Psalm 9:9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed.
