The Anchor of our Soul

To find rest in God

you need to trust Him completely.

Open your heart to God

through prayer and petition

and thanksgiving.

He is the God who sees us,

who hears us.

He is attentive to our prayers;

A very present help in trouble.

Resting in God

 also means waiting in Him.

He is the anchor of our soul.

His Love Surrounds You

His love surrounds you

 since the moment the World was made.

You have been planned.

You have been loved.

So much that He gave his life

so that we could be free

from sin and fear and death.

Trust Him.

Love Him.

Let Him fill your heart

with his amazing love and peace.

Love shines in the darkness

Love shines in the darkness

with warmth and acceptance.

He loved the Father,

he was the Son of Man,

the Glory of the Living God.

He loved the world so much

that He gave of himself,

his very life.

A Living Sacrifice,

the embodiment of True Love

Agape

Peace

Surrender

If we follow Him,

we will share his heart,

we will understand.

The True Light

will dawn on us.

He leads us on

To search God and find him

To walk close beside him

To hear the rustling of the leaves

the fresh air in the breeze...

There is a path of life

that leads us on...

Count it all Joy

My dear Father arrived in Heaven in March this year after bravely fighting a pancreatic cancer  for many, many months. Through it all he completed his chemos and treatments dutifully always thanking his doctors and nurses for their kindness. His arms showed the blues of  the times he was hydrated with IV through his veins. He wanted to be with us all as much as he could. He loved his family dearly. He loved God's people. He loved all people. He served in the five continents. He loved and prayed for his 18 grandchildren.

He planned his own Memorial Service and wanted us to take chairs for the elderly. We sang worship songs to God who gave him to us for 73 years.

 We loved him, too!!! 

"We will meet again, daddy, 

We will sing together once more

We are on our way there!!"

The Lord is good

The simple happiness of being just there.
How blessed the afternoon is when I can be home to greet my family as they arrive or cook something tasty for them.

The Lord is good to everyone.
His compassion is intertwined with everything He does.
He cooked breakfast on the beach
 for his disciples on that morning dawn
after they had been all night fishing.

He is always there for us. He is home.
He will listen to our prayers and our heart.
God knows, he cares!
We are never alone!

Build upon the Rock

Hold tightly to the little

strength you have

so that no one

will take away your crown.

Do not let this happy trust

in the LORD
 die away,

no matter what happens.

Do the good things

that result
 from being saved

obeying God with deep reverence.

Shrinking back from anything

that would displease Him.

Press on to know Him.

Through it all, keep true to Him.
