Do not be anxious!

















Do not be anxious about tomorrow.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Trust in the LORD!
Entrust your times into His hands.
He promises to lead us
and tell us clearly what to do!

Commit everything you do to the LORD.
Trust Him help you do it and He will!
Because the LORD is our Shepherd
we have everything we need.
He lets us rest in meadows green
and leads us beside the quiet streams.

He is like a Father to us,
Tender and sympathetic to those who reverence Him
for He knows we are but dust.
Let Him have all your worries and cares,
for He is always thinking about you
and watching everything that concerns you.

The high and lofty one who inhabits eternity,
The Holy One says this:
"I live in that high and holy place
where those with contrite, humble spirits dwell;
And I refresh the humble and give new courage
ao those with repentant hearts."

How precious is your constant love, O God!
All humanity takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them with blessings
from your own table
and let them drink
from your rivers of delight!

Going for a walk together :)

















Walking with my husband
Chatting as we go arm in arm
Along the streets of the Villa Ventana.
A day of rest and meditation.

So much to thank God for
As we look back,
Reflecting on our lives,
Remembering our path.

We value every effort
Keeping a job
Working so many hours
Away from home.

But in our hearts
We are always praying
For our loved ones,
Hoping, waiting, loving...

Knowing that you are a merciful God,
Who sees, who feels,
Who hears our prayers! :)

So today you bring blessed rest
And the assurance of faith
Knowing you are our strength!

Love is patient and kind...









The wisdom that comes from heaven
 is first pure and full of quiet gentleness.
Then it is peace-loving and corteous.
It allows discussion and is
 willing to yield to others;
It is full of mercy and good deeds.
It is wholehearted and
 straightforward and sincere.
James 3:17
