Good morning! I woke up to the birds chirping and started to chuckle because they seemed so tickled to be about their business. Don & I have had a restful night and that is a blessing. There is this "pit" in our stomachs, but that is overwhelmed by the love & prayers, the constant care & concern from those near & far. We continue our day with praise to God on our minds and hearts for we know that His love and care is unfailing. Now off to the grocery store to buy dandelion greens...having my family over for birthdays tonight and making "greens" - the old Italian way. I remember when Grandma (who is now 100 years old...)used to pick them in the yard outside (before the dogs could get to them!) but we just buy them in the store now. May God bless your day today...
Love,
Don & Deb
Hi, Debbie! Long time and all of that! I read about your blog on Donna's facebook page and signed up to pray with you! May God strengthen you as you face your Goliath! Much love!

Hi Debbie & Don,
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think of one of my favorite songs after reading what you said about the birds;
Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for Heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
"Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him,
From care He sets me free:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me.
I know that you have prayed for me, you are now in our prayers. Love you both!
J.D. & Connie

ReplyDeleteEven though I am not around like I used to be I can say you have both been a blessing to me! Prayers will be prayed by many for you, as you have prayed for others! God is with you and hold you close as close as you want him to.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sweet sweet spirit. Hope those dandelions were a big hit!
ReplyDeleteLove you.
