Pondering

So here is my question-
If it is above average temps right now, what will this mean for July? 114 degrees? Whoa Nelly, I hope not!
But, I guess for now, I'll just take each day as it comes and enjoy it for what it is!

Out Of The Blue

You know the days-the ones you just don't see happening. Yesterday was "one of those days" for our family. One of our children received a diagnosis that hit us out of the blue. We are just at the beginning stages of learning about the disease and what it all means, if she has something even more serious, if she will have this for life, or if she will just resolve it with time.
A verse that my heart and mind ran to was this:
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This portion of scripture is found in Philippians, 4th Chapter, verses 4-7.

How good our the promises of God...that is a rhetorical question...they are indeed good and it is on His promises that we are standing, kneeling and crying out. We have no doubt that God hears us, His children, and that no matter our circumstance, He is still God!

It really is a privilege to carry our requests to the heart of God for He hears us and He sees us and He knows us.
