1st True Love ❤️

 This takes me back a day or so 37 years on June 11th I married my 1st true love!

The day that we met it was answered prayer from when I was just to young to be thinking about any relationship let alone marriage.

I talked with a minister and I shared my hearts prayer with him what I desired in a wife.

And he said this is what I want you to do you make your request known to God in a prayer everything you desired and this is what I want you to do crumble that paper up put it in the trash and in doing that you give that prayer to God.

37 years ago on June 11, 1988 that very prayer was answered that day.

She was and is the best thing that happened to me other than giving my heart to the Lord, I remind myself of that from time to time in the rough season and blessed as well.

Thank you dear Lord for that answered prayer that still lives on to this day.

There's so much more that I can say but I'll wait and share it on another day!!!

OH LORD HELP ME!!

 OH LORD HELP ME!!

Oh dear God I truly want to worship and honor you today but this I've got to do!

Father you gave up your son to die on an old cruel rugged cross for me and my own sin, yes you shed your own blood for a sinner such as me!

Help me Lord to walk in and with a forgiving heart for those who've hurt me in deepest disrespect and hurtful ways!

Oh Lord it's a dark place with no peace at all in an unforgiven heart!

Help me Lord to forgive even when apologizing never comes for the hurt that those have caused me in this heart of mine!

It's a pain that's hard to carry 😪 💔 but I know that in and through it all you've not left me alone for your with me even now!

Oh dear Lord I do pray your blessings on those that have hurt and caused a broken heart 💔 help them in their walk today and it's in Jesus name I pray Amen!! 🙏 🙏🙏🙏

The Alter to Pray~

 The Alter to Pray~

Today on this Lords day I could've just stayed home, oh I wanted too believe me but I felt that yearning, that tug at my heart.

Off to church I went but one with a heavy weighted heart ❤️ not even sure what to do.

Oh when worship began I began to sing each song, to worship with intentional purpose to draw close to God.

And then there that urge, that tug I needed more, the only one to help with that heavy weighted heart was Jesus and Holy Spirit!

To the Alter I went to pray, to bow before my maker, my Savior and Friend and there He met me in my moment of need.

That's a reminder for me tonight, tomorrow and the days ahead to the Alter to pray, He's waiting you just got to take action and move...

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Nothing Else

OH THE LOAD AT TIMES SEEMS HARD TO CARRY.
BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE.
DON'T LET ME GIVE IN TO THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD.
HELP TO BE KIND AND GENTLE EVERY TIME.

LORD LET YOUR LIGHT ALWAYS SHINE IN WHATEVER MAY COME MY WAY.
FOR IT'S YOU THAT I WANT TO PLEASE AND HAVE FAVOR WITH NOT MANKIND OR THE WORLD BUT ONLY THEE.

THOUGH THE TASK BE GREAT I KNOW THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORSAKE ME.
I LOOK TO YOU LORD TO PROTECT AND ALWAYS GUIDE ME IN WHAT EVER THE TASK.

LET ME ALWAYS TURN TO THEE AND NEVER TO ANYTHING ELSE FOR IT'S YOU THAT'S IMPORTANT AND NOTHING ELSE.

The Best

   There is no friend like the one I know and He is closer then anyone that I could even think or know.
I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Him right by my side to coach and say get up you can do it don't give up or give in.

   There have been times I just wanted to throw in the towel and say forget it whats the use, but oh what Grace He affords my way. He gently bends down and whispers it's just ahead can't you see it. It's the finish line but oh so many hurdle's to climb.
    
   I'm so thankful that I don't have to go it alone for rest assured I 'd surely fail. Now in this I know that in Christ I can depend and you to my friend for your the reason that He came. Don't just push Him aside when He knocks on your hearts door just as I did let Him come in.


  Trust me you will be glad that you did.                                     By Ronald Horton
 

You've Done It Unto Him

I met a man along the road one day, now is he friend or foe I don't know.
But I took him anyway.

God He don't look on the outside of people don't you know.
He See's the need on the inside that's what He wants to feed.

For you or I it might take a step of faith, to feed , to visit or whatever the need ,
But when we've done it unto these we've done it unto Him.

Called To Pray!

TO A PLACE CALLED GETHSEMANE JESUS TOOK TIME TO PRAY.

NOW HE TOOK PETER TWO SONS OF ZEBEDEE HE BEGAN TO BE  SORROWFUL AND DEEPLY DISTRESSED, EXCEEDINGLY SORROWFUL, EVEN UNTO DEATH.

NOW HE SAY'S WATCH AND PRAY TO THOSE THAT HE TOOK AND THEN JESUS WENT AND FELL ON HIS FACE TO PRAY.


NOW HE KNEW THAT HIS HOUR HAD COME AND HE WOULD SOON BE BETRAYED ARRESTED AND THE PATH NOW HAD COME FOR HIM TO FULFILL WHY HE HAD COME.

NOW HE HAD COME AND WHAT DID HE FIND HIS FRIENDS ON THE GROUND FAST ASLEEP.

JESUS ASKED COULD YOU NOT PRAY WITH ME FOR ONE HOUR?

WATCH AND PRAY LEAST YOU FALL INTO TEMPTATION, THE SPIRIT INDEED IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK.

NOW WHAT HAVE I LEARNED FROM THIS. ONE JESUS PRAYED AND SO MUST I AND HIS CHURCH FOR WE ARE HIS BODY AS ONE TOGETHER AND WE ARE CALLED TO PRAY JUST THE SAME AS THOSE HE TOOK ON THAT DAY.
