Thanks to all that prayed for my cousin Barbara. Her surgery was a success with the doctor being able to remove all the cancer that she saw. There was none in the lymph glands or in the major organs so the doctor feels the chemo will get the rest of the "floating cancer cells".  I am thanking and believing the Lord for her complete restoration to health.

love in christ!

Good Morning Karen,
I hope you are able to participate in the family festivities this weekend.

Praise:  I was able to get up this morning and not feel like crap, given that I barely slept.  My toe really bothered me, and I could not get comfortable all night.

Prayer:  Please pray that I am able to begin my dental work on Thursday.  I am dreading it.  I am not sure I can afford the work that needs done.

Have to get going.

Hugs,
Trish

Palm Sunday

Luke 19:28-44

Hindsight is always 20/20. Yet while we are in a particular situation, we tend to make things out to be what theyaren’t and infer wrong meanings. We kick ourselves, thinking, If only I had known then what I know now!

Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem must have been one of those moments for His disciples. It had appeared to be such a wonderful day for them—and it was, but for different reasons than they realized. They thought the Messiah had come to reestablish Israel’s power in the world. But God had something else in mind.

The disciples weren’t the only ones who had misconceptions about the Messiah. Many Jews of the day expected Him to be an earthly king. When the crowds heard Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they cheered, “Hosanna! " which means, “Save now!" They saw Him as their new King, come to bring salvation from political and societal oppression. He raised the dead—no doubt he could also restore the kingdom of David and free them from Roman rule.

Seated upon a donkey, Jesus resembled a ruler returning to his city in peacetime, loyal subjects lining his path with coats and palm fronds. Even the Pharisees were there watching in indignation, saying, “Look, the world has gone after Him" (John 12:19).

This week, think back to those times when cir****tances looked one way but turned out to be something else entirely. Remember when you realized God was different than you imagined and saw His will unfold in surprising ways. Look for an opportunity to share your insight with a friend or loved one.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Well I survived the tooth pulling now my mouth is full of guaze. I just hope it doesn't bother me too much, I have to fix a gazillion deviled eggs for family egg hunt and potluck this Sun. Hoping to be OK to go and enjoy myself, not stay home and hold ice on my cheek! How's your day? God bless! Karen

God bless you, Karen.  I have a similar request.  I had a crown, post and screws come out the other night.  I have to wait till Thursday to get the dental work done, because of the coumadin I am on.  I am having a procedure on Thursday for my chronic pain, s I am going to have the dental work done the same day.

Praise my friend in Florida called me yesterday and we had a good talk.

Hugs,
Trish

How to Seek the Lord

Psalm 105:1-8

Although Scripture tells us to seek the Lord, many Christians struggle with this command. Some are so distracted by other interests and responsibilities that God is only a miniscule part of their goals and desires in life. When confronted with their responsibility to pursue Him, they often feel guilty but don’t know how to begin.

When desire for God surpasses our eagerness for other pursuits, following through becomes much more likely. But hunger for the Lord is an acquired taste. The more we pursue Him, the greater our hunger will be. However, if we ignore Him, what little appetite we have will diminish even further. Do you find that the latter describes your experience? Then ask the Lord to whet your appetite for Him—and follow through by making the effort to seek Him.

Begin with the Scriptures and prayer. Set aside time each day for meditating on God’s Word—listen for His voice, slowly digest what you read, talk to the Lord, ask Him questions, and apply what you learn to your life. Begin studying the Bible. Some of you may say, “I’ve never been into that." My advice: Get into it! The deep things of God don’t just drop into our brains; they are placed there through diligent study.

Seeking anything requires time and effort. Will you invest your life in the pursuit of the Eternal One—the source of all contentment, joy, and hope? Or will you go after that which is fleeting? By neglecting the Lord, you cheat yourself of all the benefits He promises to those who diligently seek Him.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

That is exactly why I shared it...all ages, races, sizes, and the joy it showed.  What a blessing that is to see.
