Sunday Morning

Another beautiful day. Yesterday was a test but thank the Lord I didn't do anything foolish when I found out about my mother in law, whom I loved, passing away. Divorce is a sting that can hurt for quite a while. Only God can ease the pain of it. Today though is a new day and I woke up feeling good and called a friend to see if she was coming to church with me for the second time In a row. I praise God that she is. It's always great to see people grow in the Lord. I continue to grow each year through a lot of tests and trials. When I think of all He's done for me and others ... I am amazed. His loving kindness is never ending. Yet He chastises those whom He loves. I ask you today Lord to help me be the woman you want me to be...to stop before reacting to a hurt and to help me speak the truth...in love. When I was five, living in poverty, I found a red pencil and scribbled real tiny on the wall, the word "help". At the time, I didn't know who or what I was writing to, but I do now. And He saw that and has lead me to Him. What a great God!
