All praise to our God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who has blessed us with "every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are "united" with "Christ Jesus" Even before Our Lord Jesus Christ made the world, Our Father "loved us" and "chose us" in His Son Jesus Christ to be a Holy, Blameless, set apart people with out fault in His eyes, Our Lord God decided in "advance to adopt us onto His own family" by bringing us to "HIMSELF" "through Jesus Christ" We have been given all the benefits to live in Jesus, knowing our Lord Jesus up close and personal, given salvation, forgiven of our stink-en sinful,
self centered,self exalting,,selfish ways, our un-belief-----were dust, just a breath!,
Are we willing to be on the "potters wheel" to be shaped by His Will, His Way, His Word in ALL areas of our life?
Our Holy, Morally Perfect Father chose before the creation of time to redeem us back to himself through His Morally perfect,Holy sinless Son Jesus Christ!
As a follower of Jesus Christ do we understand His Love for us, How much He loves us?
This is what Our Father God wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure,
We praise Our God for the glorious grace He has poured out on us who belong to His Dear Son, JESUS
Jesus is so rich in his kindness and grace that "He purchased our Freedom" with "His blood" and "forgave Our sins". Jesus showered His kindness on us, along with "All wisdom and understanding".
Our father God has now revealed to us His mysterious plan regarding Jesus Christ, a plan to fulfill His own good pleasure.And in His word this is His plan, At the right time God will bring everything together under the authority of Jesus Christ in heaven and on the earth. Because we are united with Jesus Christ, we have received a great inheritance from our Father God,
for God chose us in advance, and Father makes everything work out according to His plan.
God is sovereign and he is in charge, we are his creation,
We who believe {Jesus came in the flesh} are human beings--made of flesh and blood--
Jesus Christ also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.
{No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.}
Creator, Sustainer, Judge, Redeemer, we have been made in God's Image,
saved by His Grace, ---------- -----------
God's Majestic display of power and purpose--------------all knowing ,all power, all wise,who sustains all life!
We know if we do not spend time in "fellowship" with our personal friend Jesus Christ 'Daily' through His "Word" the bread of Life"
we "will not" and 'can not' know Him intimately, or even begin to see "Him for "who He is"!
We can not begin to understand how Beautiful Jesus is,
how faithful He is to every area of our life, even in spite of our self,
How gentle He is to get us back on track,
How convicting His Spirit is to show us the errors of our thinking,
How His truth sets us free,
How He Refreshes us when our hearts are burdened,
How comforting He is when the weightiness of this life gets us down,
How He answers prayer after prayer when we run to Him in time of great need,
How he gives us such a gratefulness and thankfulness, day in and day out..
How Jesus gives us purpose, Because He is our purpose!
We will miss the blessings personally of
How our Lord reveals to us Himself through prayer and the power of His presence,
How is Love is lavished upon us day in and day out.
How His mercy is new daily
How patient He is with us consistently
How His kindness shadows us
We will miss all that He wants to do in and through our lives if we don;t see Him as the "very source" of our existence.
We can testify how great our God is! ----------------Not because of who we are-----------
Because of WHO HE IS!
We watch Him at work in our lives everyday,He woos us to Himself, His Spirit hovers over us,drawing us into His presence,and we draw near to Him through His precious word,and prayer,
Because of the incredible greatness of God's power,for us who believe in Him, He has given us His Spirit to live in the "light of
"who He is", by the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead,and seated Jesus in the place of honor at His Fathers right hand in the heavenly realms.
It is not about what we know-----------------But "who we know" personally! JESUS...............
Jesus came to "seek and to save" Do we want to know Him intentionally more?
Coming into relationship with Jesus Christ "saved me" from my rebellious, self centered, sinful, self exalting,selfish me,me,me! Jesus saved me from being separated from Him for all eternity, It doesn't stop there!
Everyday our lives are being transformed in Christ Jesus, our Minds are being renewed in Christ Jesus by His Word,Being in His word, as we sit at His banquet table, Jesus is the living Bread that came down for heaven and anyone who eats of this bread will live forever, you can't help but want more.......
We are being sanctified,daily a process that we will walk out until the day we meet Jesus face to face.Prayerfully becoming more like Him. Prayerfully desiring Him to be the "center' of all our life.
Today we can't help but express our gratitude and thankfulness, privilege to be His Kids! Jesus is the very expression who fills everything in Our Life! God so rich in His mercy, loved us so much, even tho we were dead spiritually because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Jesus Christ from the dead, It is only by God's Grace that we have been saved, For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
we can not take any credit for this, nothing in and of our-self could earn or do good enough to attain this gift-
As His Bride we owe our life to Him, we are nothing on our own....
As God's word is living and active Jesus is our greatest example as to how we are to live, he tells us I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it.
All the Glory is his, Lord there is no one like you, O Lord you are great, and your Name if full of Power!
O Lord God may you keep our hearts humble,thankful, grateful, Repentant, pure---pour out your Pure love upon us that we may be filled with your Wisdom knowledge and understanding,power and might.and may we exalt you and you alone,high and lifted up, O God may you be our greatest treasure,may all of our devotion allegiance, be to you and you alone, if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we will have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, your Son, cleanses us from all our sin. O God Help us to live with pure hearts daily purifying ourselves from everything that can defile our body and spirit, and let us work toward complete holiness because we fear you, respect you, revere you, O God, In your Precious Holy, Righteous, Morally Perfect Ways, and Will, Sweet Jesus A-Men

Anguish,Paralyzed Grief,Sorrow,Mourning, Great Loss
Heartache, Devastation,Grief,Sorrow is felt across the country as the news spreads of the "evil" that possessed a young man to go into a school and kill Intentionally,purposefully,willfully,senselessly 20 children and 6 adults-----------
Dad and I are sorrowfully grief stricken, for these family's who lost their Precious Ones
We can't help but think of our own Grand babies,O How Our hearts ache!
O God You ordained our lives to be lived with great purpose according to Your magnificent redeeming plan for humanity.You sent Your Son Jesus to give us hope that our lives are planned by You,Your plan is good and extends from here through eternity.Lord this life is not easy, but You use all, all, all things for good when considered in light of Your "eternal" good plan.
This Day, this kind of tragedy was not even a thought on any one of these parents! "why would it be"?
We never know what lies in the heart of another, the thoughts the Ideas,then the action!
O God our great comforter.Jehovah-Jireh our Great provider, provide the deepest need of your presence in these grieving families, Father you see the need, we pray on their behalf for you to intervene in this time of loss, Jehovah-Rapha our great healer.
Ecclesiastes 9:3-This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.
Those who trust to their own righteousness and strength, and think they can do without Christ, make flesh their arm, and their souls cannot prosper in graces or comforts.
The heart, the conscience of man, in his corrupt and fallen state, is deceitful above all things.
It calls evil good, and good evil; and cries peace to those to whom it does not belong.
Herein the heart is desperately wicked; it is deadly, it is desperate. The case is bad indeed, if the conscience, which should set right the errors of other faculties, {An inherent power or ability,Any of the powers or capacities possessed by the human mind. The ability to perform or act. is a leader in the delusion}.
Jeremiah 17:9 The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
We cannot know our own hearts, nor what they will do in an hour of temptation. Who can understand his errors? Much less can we know the hearts of others, or depend upon them.
We that believe God's testimony in this matter, and learn to watch his own heart, will find this is a correct, though a sad picture, and learn many lessons to direct our conduct.
But much in our own hearts and in the hearts of others, will remain unknown. Yet whatever wickedness there is in the heart, God sees it all!.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of a person's heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
Men may be imposed upon, but "God cannot be deceived"..
Isaiah 59:1 Listen! The LORD's arm is not too weak to save us, Jesus came to seek and to save----Luke 19:10
nor is his ear too deaf to hear our cry.
Those who make "The Lord Jesus their Hope", shall flourish like a tree Planted by the river, whose leaves doe not wither. They shall be fixed in "peace of mind; they "shall not" be anxious in a year of drought.
Those who make the "Lord Jesus their Hope", have enough in him to make up the want of all creature-comforts. They shall not cease from yielding fruit in holiness and good works.
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Proverbs 8:17
If our prayers are not answered, it is not because God is tired or to busy of hearing our prayers,
but because we are weak in our prayer life or don't even consider praying Acknowledging that He is our only Hope and source of counsel through prayer.
The fact is, the devil is terrified of Christians who hunger and thirst after righteousness. Indeed, he fears praying saints more than he fears a thousand years in chains!
All of hell quivers and quakes at the effectual, fervent prayer of a single believer. And every demonic principality seated in high places cowers upon hearing the cries of a
{"weeping, broken-hearted child of God"}. The powerful praying of just one intercessor sounds like raging thunder in the caverns of the damned. And there is not one inch of space in hell that isn't affected by a believer who denies himself, takes up his cross and follows Christ with his whole heart.
Yet, we must be aware: The soul that cries out with agonizing yearnings for depth in Christ will become the central focus of Satan's conspiracy of interruptions!
the devil's chief target in these attacks is the secret closet of prayer! He knows it is the door into the Holy of Holies - the armory out of which saints emerge in full battle dress, ready to withstand all of Satan's fiery arrows.
The Enemy Satan Himself clever as he is seeks to interrupt a believer's every attempt to enter the presence of God. He uses every device in hell to hinder that Christian's efforts to spend time in prayer and in the study of God's word!
With all that said, we are in a spiritual battle 24/7 the enemy never sleeps! As a follower of Jesus Christ, We know the battle to put into practice Daily discipline to wake up praying and spending time with the Lord and before we sleep Pray yielding our sleep, proclaiming the Blood of Jesus over each other, Our Son's and Daughters, Grandchildren, Jeremiah 29:12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.Hebrews 10:22
We understand we have an enemy,Satan Himself---Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour 1 Peter 5:8
John 8:44 He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4
The Good news those who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ already walk in victory, He that is in me is greater than he that is in this world 1 John 4:4
{"Does this mean I can sit back, live life my way, not be in the word, not be on my knees begging the Lord to protect my family, my grandbabies the blood of our blood"}, -----------absolutely not! ------------
"you can no more stay dry standing in a torrential down pour" if you don't have protection" covering" you its the same with us in our prayer life, we call upon the only one Jesus Christ our advocate,-we cover our families in prayer as an"umbrella over" our families, the "Lord is the Power" who intervenes on behalf of our prayers,we can't afford not to intercede on behalf of our families,Grandchildren, Unsaved loved ones! Dad and I are so thankful that the Lord placed us on the "Hearts of a Mother and a Sister" to pray for our souls!
O God help us that nothing disrupt our Prayer lives pleading for your Holy Perfect Divine super Natural Protection and Salvation to bring our Blood into the Kingdom. Help us O Father to invest our time into the things of the kingdom your will!
we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.1 John 2:1
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning's that cannot be expressed in words.
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.Ephesians 6:18
Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Colosians 4:2
Never stop Praying 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Matthew 7:7 ”Ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
John 14:13-14 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I know I have said a-lot my heart is heavy, Jesus yoke is easy his burden light, in Him I rest tonight.

Resting seems to be in order!
I Didn't realize how tired I was until I slept from the night before all day yesterday until this morning!
I was done!
"Dad was on his own the whole day", HUMMMMMMMMMMM!
Dad is doing good, he does best when he is home,where he can walk in "circles"
{"I ask him am I ready to be tied to a stake?"} Or shot with an arrow", I guess it's an Island thing! any who-
.JPG)
I Love this man so much, Lord bless him! we are thankful for everyday the Lord gives us.
I woke up refreshed today--- thank the Lord.
We went to the dump,went for a ride, had a bite to eat, and came home. We are thankful for today,and Blessed to have a nice warm home and fire to enjoy,
"we had a hail storm come through and its a cold 39 degrees"
We laugh about things, not to make fun, "laughing takes the sting" out of what is really going on in Dad!
He struggles to do daily chores,they seem to take him considerably longer than normal just because his mind is trying to figure out what, how, the way, what ever he is doing should be done. His Left hand is almost a dead player so it makes it hard for him to grip,hold on, grab. Frustration is evident because the task becomes difficult, he's seeing what to do but his brain is is not telling the rest of his body what to do,
it's like there's is a dead zone, which then takes him longer to finish the simple task or project he started.
When we talk, he converse's well, but then he will pause and it may take him a minute or two to remember what he was saying to me to finish his thought. We went to the hardware store and within 30 minutes Dad said he needed to go to the car, he had a "part" he needed to get and in just that short time, {questions,or being questioned he became frustrated,confused},
the fella helping him did not know anything was going on,
what Dad was experiencing overwhelmed him, he can't control what's going on inside of him, he just knows he needs to book out of there remove himself from the place or thing or person!
It could have been how fast the guy was talking, moving, picking up different parts,the building,a smell,
This was to much all at once for dad to compute it was like the walls were closing in on him!
for me it was normal!
Unpredictability of this Brain Tumor is very difficult.
A brain tumor takes up space within the skull and can interfere with normal brain activity. It can increase pressure in the brain, shift the brain or push it against the skull, and/or invade and damage nerves and healthy brain tissue. Each day can be very different,this has been such a gradual process that what I think is normal is not, Dad has what we see as many good days, because we are living with these adversities on a daily basis that when something new arises we have to pay close attention to see if this is now another symptom to add to his other deficits!
We just keep close attention so we know how to deal--- with how we will do--- our day,
are we safe to go out or is this a day at home? This is pretty much how we gauge our days. We do not plan to far ahead one day at a time.
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! 26:3
Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.Psalms 119:165
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:13
We lean heavily on Christ Jesus,when we are weak Jesus is our strength, he has proved his faithfulness to us everyday by allowing us to have another day to Glorify Him, to testify that it is Jesus who holds our futures.
We have endeavoring days,that test our patients, Dad and I know with out Jesus Christ as our advocate we are "2 Dead heads" in the water! We give all the Glory to our Lord Jesus for holding us up.We confess that the Lord has been merciful and has comforted us with a wonderful, amazing comfort.We confess a love of Our Lord Jesus for us that surpasses anything the human mind could imagine. Our Heavenly Father knows what happens to His children far before the situations come upon them.
our names are written on the palms of His hands.We rejoice and put all of our hope and Glory in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for keeping us in prayer,
I was done!

Rest,Rest,and More Rest!
O My where do I begin! Our time spent with our family was full,fun,filled,feasting,fabulous,fantastic,action packed 15 day's, it seemed we were filling each day with as much as one could fill a day, even tho there were days we did not leave the house!
Dad and I would try to wake up early to spend time with the Lord before the house was filled with pitter, patter,and chatter----with in an hour or 2 we would hear the footsteps of 2 little boys! Nyah and Sasha so sweet these boys,coming down the stairs one at a time--"waking up with smiles on their faces,running over to Grampa and I with hugs and kisses,then off to the floor they would go happily to play with their legos,building creatively their little boats,planes,trains,ferry's you name it.
Ronnie would either already be up scouting around the property,looking for a sunrise, or coming down the stairs with a wave.---V-was last to wake with baby ella,then our day would begin it's course.
Back tracking-------
When Dad and I knew the plans of the Kid's coming for a visit,we placed our request before the Lord that He would prepare this time, {"covering us,---protecting us,---guarding us,in Christ Jesus"},
"watching over Dad" especially due to what stress could do to His body, Brain,being over stimulated by the excitement, noise, chaos,etc.
"We Praise the Lord for answered prayer","Glorifying and honoring our Father in Heaven for answering that request"
Our Lord is so beyond Good, so beyond Faithful,Our words to try and describe what our hearts hold deep in gratitude only the Lord knows our thankfulness.
We were given so much Grace during this time, the Lord allowed opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Our Son Ronnie,{"I Love how the Lord opened that door"}!
"Israel"
The daily news was about things heating up in Israel and Dad and I were talking about it and Ronnie asked: Why do you guys keep talking about Israel,{Not remembering His exact words},another words what's the Big deal!
Because God said that in the last days, Jerusalem would play a key role: “I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves” (Zechariah 12:2–3).
Psalms 15:8 -10 God always stands by his covenant--the commitment he made to a thousand generations.This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
The Lord Used this "tiny Nation" to open the door once again to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and to also help Ronnie understand what "He is being saved from"!-----------------
His Sin------------Eternal Death, {separation from The Lord}------------
Jesus is the only way we are made right in the sight of God! The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob!
As much was shared, our prayer is that the Lord would "not allow" our Son to ignore" or have rest in his soul about what the Lord allowed as opportunity to show Ronnie until He turns towards Jesus!
As God's Partners we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God's kindness and then ignore it.
Today is the day of Salvation!
So as you read this believers in Jesus Christ, Pray with us that our Son Ronnie and His Wife Viana will come into Salvation soon. to open eyes that are blind,{Spiritually Blind} to free captives from prison {Unbelief}and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.{Sin-Ignorance}Isaiah 42:7
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
We have Faith, Trust, and so much hope that the Lord will answer this prayer. We are persistent, fervent, and earnest in interceding on their behalf,
What the Lord showed Dad and I is that as we are ambassadors for Christ Jesus,we are to be prepared to give an answer,unashamed, gently,carefully,with so much "Love".
We are so blessed the Lord allowed this time with our family, I will miss my babies dearly, My Son and Viana,------------------We thank the Lord that he gave us this time,
It is He who we glorify and praise for His grace and Mercy over our family,
Dad and I continue to seek the Lord and acknowledge Him no matter what things look like to us, God has ordained and knows all things and "our part" is to trust Him with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding, walk in obedience to His word and will, knowing God in all His wisdom knows and has the power of our futures.............we look,wait,expectantly for the salvation of our sons and daughters-----------
these two little precious boys,Nyah and Sasha would not allow us to eat without thanking Jesus 1st----------and they each had to pray--So we ask the Lord use these boys how ever He will-------------
Every night Grampa and I were able to share story with the boy's and pray over them before they sleep.
So we Pray also the Lord will work His good purpose in and through these boys.
Dad and I are resting------------,resting-------------------and resting some more!
We thank the Lord for watching over us,
Dad had a few hard days with headaches, fighting seizures, heavy weakness on his left side-----------------all in all we have nothing really to complain about. We woke up today alive and well,able to thank the Lord for another day!
Cancer in general, you do not see the area affected,there are no bandages, broken limbs to Identify the problems------you can only see the deficit as it takes its toll on Dad's speech, mobility,ability to do normal everyday things, the brain tells the body what to do......And today the brain said wake up, you've been given another day to Live, thank the Lord.
Dad and I would try to wake up early to spend time with the Lord before the house was filled with pitter, patter,and chatter----with in an hour or 2 we would hear the footsteps of 2 little boys! Nyah and Sasha so sweet these boys,coming down the stairs one at a time--"waking up with smiles on their faces,running over to Grampa and I with hugs and kisses,then off to the floor they would go happily to play with their legos,building creatively their little boats,planes,trains,ferry's you name it.

Because God said that in the last days, Jerusalem would play a key role: “I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves” (Zechariah 12:2–3).
Psalms 15:8 -10 God always stands by his covenant--the commitment he made to a thousand generations.This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
The Lord Used this "tiny Nation" to open the door once again to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and to also help Ronnie understand what "He is being saved from"!-----------------
His Sin------------Eternal Death, {separation from The Lord}------------
Jesus is the only way we are made right in the sight of God! The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob!
As much was shared, our prayer is that the Lord would "not allow" our Son to ignore" or have rest in his soul about what the Lord allowed as opportunity to show Ronnie until He turns towards Jesus!
As God's Partners we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God's kindness and then ignore it.
Today is the day of Salvation!

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
We have Faith, Trust, and so much hope that the Lord will answer this prayer. We are persistent, fervent, and earnest in interceding on their behalf,
What the Lord showed Dad and I is that as we are ambassadors for Christ Jesus,we are to be prepared to give an answer,unashamed, gently,carefully,with so much "Love".
We are so blessed the Lord allowed this time with our family, I will miss my babies dearly, My Son and Viana,------------------We thank the Lord that he gave us this time,
It is He who we glorify and praise for His grace and Mercy over our family,
Dad and I continue to seek the Lord and acknowledge Him no matter what things look like to us, God has ordained and knows all things and "our part" is to trust Him with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding, walk in obedience to His word and will, knowing God in all His wisdom knows and has the power of our futures.............we look,wait,expectantly for the salvation of our sons and daughters-----------
Every night Grampa and I were able to share story with the boy's and pray over them before they sleep.
So we Pray also the Lord will work His good purpose in and through these boys.
Dad and I are resting------------,resting-------------------and resting some more!
We thank the Lord for watching over us,
Dad had a few hard days with headaches, fighting seizures, heavy weakness on his left side-----------------all in all we have nothing really to complain about. We woke up today alive and well,able to thank the Lord for another day!
Cancer in general, you do not see the area affected,there are no bandages, broken limbs to Identify the problems------you can only see the deficit as it takes its toll on Dad's speech, mobility,ability to do normal everyday things, the brain tells the body what to do......And today the brain said wake up, you've been given another day to Live, thank the Lord.

The Joys of Life
We Praise our precious Jesus Christ, for His continual hand over our lives,
Last night Dads headache the pressure was so bad, All I could do is pray and ask the Lord to "dissipate" the pain, Dad was upstairs in prayer asking the same, When I went up to check on him I asked him how he was feeling and He said It's "dissipating"! When we live in the Joy of life in companionship with our Holy Perfect Father God, we enjoy the benefits now and eternity! My Man woke up today and said {"I'm still here"}! Thank you Lord for another day! He's feeling good! "PRAISE YOU JESUS"!
Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the Lord, "You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you". Psalms 16
We belong to you Lord Jesus, you hold our hands when we feel so weak,you guide us with your wisdom and counsel, always leading us to your glorious destiny,
who have we in Heaven but you? We desire you more than anything on earth, who can touch us so quickly? You O God! you are seated on the throne, high and lifted up, you watch and examine us intently, you bend your ear to hear our prayer, you O God are our great comforter!
Our health may fail, and our spirit may grow weak, But O God you remain the strength of our heart; forever, we bless you Precious Lord.

Asking for prayer
Dad has a very bad headache tonight, it has been lingering all day,causing him to feel nauseated!
he has been resting most of the day sleeping on and off, very restless, Please pray this headache dissipates quickly, that Dad can get comfortable, His left side is getting weaker, Please keep us before the Lord,
Psalms 59:9 O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress,
