Memory Verse: I am Yours and REST IN YOU.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

Wow! Do I ever need a day of rest.  I need YOU…this morning, ABBA.  So here I am with my Cup of Fancy for my immune system…Half of a large to go cup of iced tea.. the other half Pedialyte. Plus I have taken my vitamins and added B12.

Can you tell yesterday was a stressful day?

Farmer wants to get the planting done before I have my hip replaced. We are also on call to help with our twin grandsons.

Whew! Yesterday was a day of errands plus the eye doctor. At my age, I can only do so much.

Today, I’m resting with you. I’m tired physically..and emotionally.  My heart hurts for my son.  He has gone through so much within the last three years. However you were there to carry us through, as a family. His ordeal is basically over, just tying up loose ends.

The pain of trauma and the option of not knowing the outcome was 100% stress. However, the following are great wisdoms that you taught all of us through this experience:

*I AM YOUR GOD…I already know the outcome. I am carrying all of you. Have faith and BELIEVE!

*You cannot fret, worry, allow your anxiety to take over your mind.  You must LET GO AND LET GOD.

*100 times a day to keep my mind in the realm of spirituality instead of worry, I’d pray these two prayers that I learned from my Hallow APP: Breathe in say ..JESUS….breathe out say…MERCY. Another is….

JESUS…I SURRENDER MY LIFE TO YOU….TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

*Trust that there will be a silver lining. There already was a discovery of a medical problem, and a physical healing for my son, due to a change in insurance.  It was miraculous!

*The older I get, the more I realize…I need to rest, and not go crazy, as I did 10 years ago when I was teaching.

Father, praise You for teaching me how to quiet myself, and rest in you. 

As I sit on my big country porch, there are sunny skies and a strong wind to assist my Farmer as, he continues to plant.

Help him to rest in you, and know that you will guide him, through his season of sowing seed.

Your sense of humor: You just told me that the reason You brought us together is because I am a seed sower, as well.  I sow the seed of Faith in Christ.

Thank You, Father, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: Cease striving and trying to make things happen. That is MY JOB. When you worry and make stupid choices, trying to solve your problems, you deter the progress of healing that I have already put in place.  Know that I am in charge, and already working behind the scenes.

Through your difficulties, you will grow closer to Me. You will learn to persevere in peace.  Remember, perseverance builds character and your communication/relationship with Me, grows to overflowing.

I love you.

Your,

ABBA, Father

Psalm 37:3-6 Trust in The Lord, and do good, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.  Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to The Lord; trust in him and He will do this. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Phil 4:19 And my God shall supply all of your needs, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Matt 11:28 Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
