Saturdays Supplement

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Matthew 25: 35-40

Have a wonderful Saturday!

An example of His love.

This has been a busy month so far.  Family illnesses, work, car trouble...blah, blah, blah.

My poor mother has been in the hospital for the last three weeks because her lift recliner turned on and she was unable to get out of it and it tossed her out onto her hard floor.  The last two weeks have been in rehab and we were hoping she would be able to come home soon.  She had a wound on her knee that would not stop seeping and bleeding.  They have now put a wound vacuum on it and it will stay there until it starts healing well.  So, she will be in the rehab hospital for a while longer.  Please keep her in your prayers!

Love you momma!

Work is crazy as usual.  Some days more than others.  I love my job. No, really I do!  I wouldn't trade what I do.  But I have to tell you that there are some days you meet someone who just touches your heart.  I met a young homeless man with brain disorders who is having some really tough times.  We finished up our interview and he said something to me that no one in my eleven years of work has ever said.  " Would you please pray for me now?"  I was floored and humbled by this and of course I said yes.  

BUT GOD....

So there in our little office I prayed for him.  

AND THEN...

He prayed for me.  He prayed for my coworkers. He thanked God for us being there for people like him.  HE THANKED GOD for allowing him to meet caring people.

Some days my job is so very awesome!

Thank you God for allowing me to meet this young man.

Thank you for letting me be an example of your love.

Please Lord, be with this young man....you know his needs.

He loves you.

I love you too!

Thank you for loving us.

Psalm 48:1 KJV

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Struck a Nerve

Trying to figure out where to begin.  I have been reading so many blogs lately.  Most of them have been about adoption and orphans.  Those wonderful "Forever" families that so many children desperately need.  I have sat here at my computer and cried for you and cheered and prayed for you.  I keep you all in my prayers constantly.  I tell people  about your struggles and ask them to pray.
And struck a nerve...................................within myself.
No, adoption is not where I am heading.
But God.
He is trying to talk to me.  He has a plan for me.  I pray about it and talk to my friends about it.  And I keep listening.
Yes, I have argued that I am not the right person.  That I am not "Bible" smart (can't recite all the verses and such) but I love my God and I have his word.  I am 52 years old. (I know, lame excuse)  I am broke.:0(
Then today I was reading a friend's blog and saw
"God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called".  
OK Lord.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for not giving up on me.
Thank you for striking that nerve Lord.
And please, help me to understand what it is you are truly asking me to do.
(I have an idea, but will talk about that later on.)
