When we abide in Him, He takes care of all those things. Taking time before I leave here to pray for your husband’s healing from allergies and for your eye. <br /><br />Father God, Brenda shares her heart and the truths of Your Word week after week and I ask that her faithfulness be rewarded in ways that only You can do. Touch this couple and bring comfort and continued healing to them from allergies and eye ailments and the bigger even more troublesome afflictions. I ask it In the Name of Your Son Who died on that cross for everything that we will ever need. Amen. <br /><br />Love to you!

I love your analogy! This really spoke to my heart, where I am at this point in my journey, too. I've been asking God, lately, "What now?" as I had to give up a position and ministry at my church and feel kind of forgotten and like I've been put on the shelf, so to speak. I took on the role of babysitting for my new baby grandson two days a week and have little energy left at the end of the day, for anything else! I know this is a special time with him and I'm cherishing it. It kind of reminds me of being a new Mom, when it seems like all you do is take care of the little ones. They reap the benefits in the long run, however. I waited so long to be a Grandma, so I guess this is my new "ministry" for now! Thank-you for sharing your perspective. You are touching lives of people you probably won't meat until we all get to the other side!<br />Hugs and Blessings,<br />Laura C(WA)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-69150096906143430232017-10-15T13:50:59.174-04:002017-10-15T13:50:59.174-04:00I wonder often what I'm supposed to be doing i...I wonder often what I'm supposed to be doing in these slower years of my life, what impact am I having for the Kingdom, what value the things I do every day. And then my baby granddaughter comes to play with Grammie and Grampy for a few hours most weekday mornings to give her mom a little time for herself and I see her eyes light up and know that there is great value in this time we share with her. And our life example for her mom and dad is something that young people (not yet believers) need in this day and age. And so I leave it in God's hands that He will put us where He wants us and show us what to do.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05446699803419287037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-68353254664453613012017-10-15T13:13:12.032-04:002017-10-15T13:13:12.032-04:00Amen...
