May the God of Hope fill you with all Joy! and peace as you trust in Him, so that you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. -The Bible.
I go to church to renew my faith in the awesome power of God’s love and grace that fills me with hope. The words reach beyond my reasoning that could cause me to doubt and touches me emotionally.
In the book the Purpose Driven Life “because God is love, the most important lesson He wants you to learn on earth is how to love”
Accept that I am loved and I will try to be patient and tolerant of others who can be annoying. Our church like all churches, and even the first churches, is filled with people with annoying habits and disgruntled faces. My prayer has always been “Thank God our God loves the unlovable.” And every now and then I am able to do the same.
It is hard for us to grasp the truth of unconditional love because we have not experienced it in our daily lives.
We ourselves can be quick to judge ourselves and others.
Yesterday I went to the store and as I walked in saw it full of firemen. I tried to avoid them but they seem to be in every aisle so I would turn back the other way I did not want to be seen.
I felt so stupid when I got home and I realized what I should have done was tell them what a great job they are doing.I think that if I allow fear to fog my mind I can get my thoughts in a knot.
I am thankful we will always have chances to redeem ourselves.
I am reminded that we are all created differently with different health and physical strengths and also emotionally and spiritually strengths.
Like the message on Facebook said "Yes I am a strong person (with many good talents) but every now and then I need some one to take my hand and say everything will be okay".
I am thankful for this light that lights my path in the morning and the light of Jesus which can also light my way.
His love is so beautiful
and like the beauty of nature and the joy of family and friends makes my life more hopeful.
Thank you God for loving us unconditionally and giving us the choice to see or not see His light.
Dad enjoyed the hockey game even if we did not win. We may go to Costco today as we now have cards again. But I do not want my picture taken,

That reminds me of Ken's mom hiding in her closet when they had a fire alarm go off at her apartment building. Maybe she did not want to be seen by the firemen as well? Working today, yuck. BUT we have all the fixings to make blue berry pancakes, it is quiet there on Fridays as the production people do not work so there are less people in the lunch room. Sandra
I guess the pancakes are for Saturday morning. Sounds yummy!
I think we may go to Cost-Co today.
love mom
Some really uplifting quotes Beth, which made me think of my friend, Gae,who recently lost her baby in her third month. She is really taking it hard and I struggle with words to comfort her. Is there a quote or a little prayer you know, that would help her. I have pneumonia, a complication from the flu...which I got after the flu shot! Go figure! I am ambulatory today and feeling a lot better...just weak and still tired from all the coughing. No fun. I see you have a storm warning...batten down the hatches! Take care and do not get the flu...Love, Nancy
