Another Week

Wow....another week has past since I last wrote. Incredible how much happens around here...life is full to say the least.
Yes, it is another Saturday morning, it is just getting light out there....Pat has a fire going and I just got a cup of coffee.... a good time to pray for friends around the world....and know that we can rest in HIM...whatever else would we do in a world that seems to be going crazy in so many ways. With election ads filling the air waves....and the slandering being at it's peek....with economic scares coming at us from all directions......what are we left with????? The Lord. And we tend to forget in our self sufficient ways that He is always there...yearning for us to DRAW near.......now it seems we are forced more than ever to PRAY....
A good thing. A real good thing.
And we are not only praying for ourselves and our situation.....No, we are praying for friends, family and dears ones around the World......
...for our friends in Central Asia who are waiting to hear if there is yet another move in their immediate future...
...for our guys in Africa waiting to hear if they were able to fly out of where they have been for a week.....
...for our son and his wife as they sit by the bedside of Amy's Mom.....
...for friends who are being wrongfully accused of something that is not true
...for friends who are struggling in their marriage
...for a friend who is out of work
...for a friend who lives in a wartorn area ....who has been very ill knowing full well that he had no chance of finding any medical care in the area where they are at this time....
... for another friend who is facing disappointments at this time, but resting in the Lord with a deep assurance that HE is in charge....
...for friends around the globe....and family near by
....and being forever thankful that the Lord is ever present...thank you God!!!
