• Barbie's husband Len is being christened in his church tomorrow and I thought we should pray for the both of them.  Its a big thing he's doing and a very important one.  So let's bow in prayer for Len.

  Heavenly Father, be with Len in a special way tomorrow on his christening day.  Make Yourself real to him and may he truly feel the Holy Spirit moving in his soul.  Bless him in his walk with you day by day and give him the true joy a child of You has, in his life.  Also be with Barbie and bless her with Your Presence as she goes forward with her husband.  Be with this couple Lord, and may they depend on you for their every need.  In Your Loving Name I pray, Amen.
  

• The following article arrived in my in-box this morning, from our friend Molly.......hope it blesses you, as it did me.

  Peace for Anxious Days When my daughters were single-digit ages—two, five, and seven—I wowed them with a miracle. I told them the story of Moses and the manna and invited them to follow me on a wilderness trek through the house. “Who knows,” I suggested, “manna may fall from the sky again.” We dressed in sheets and sandals and did our best Bedouin hike through the bedrooms. The girls, on my instruction, complained to me, Moses, of hunger and demanded I take them back to Egypt, or at least to the kitchen. When we entered the den, I urged them to play up their parts: groan, moan, and beg for food. “Look up,” I urged. “Manna might fall any minute.” Two-year-old Sara obliged with no questions, but Jenna and Andrea had their doubts. How can manna fall from a ceiling? Just like the Hebrews. “How can God feed us in the wilderness?” Just like you? You look at tomorrow’s demands, next week’s bills, next month’s silent calendar. Your future looks as barren as the Sinai Desert. “How can I face my future?” God tells you what I told my daughters: “Look up.” When my daughters did, manna fell! Well, not manna, but vanilla wafers dropped from the ceiling and landed on the carpet. Sara squealed with delight and started munching. Jenna and Andrea were old enough to request an explanation. My answer was simple. I knew the itinerary. I knew we would enter this room. Vanilla wafers fit safely on the topside of the ceiling-fan blades. I had placed them there in advance. When they groaned and moaned, I turned on the switch. God’s answer to the Hebrews was similar. Did he know their itinerary? Did he know they would grow hungry? Yes and yes. And at the right time, he tilted the manna basket toward earth. And what about you? God know what you need and where you’ll be.        Any chance he has some vanilla wafers on tomorrow’s ceiling fans? Trust him. “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes” (Matthew 6:33-34).

  
  

• As I am reading God's word this morning, I read the following passage from Luke 12...Good News Translation...Jesus speaking.  ..............................................................
   
  8 "I assure you that those who declare publicly that they belong to me, the Son of Man will do the same for them before the angels of God. 9 But those who reject me publicly, the Son of Man will also reject them before the angels of God....................................................................................................................
   
  So....I Mandy, want to declare publicly, that I belong to The Lord Jesus Christ.
   
  

• Loved ones I believe we need to be in constant prayer for TMJ........we have not heard from her in over a week, and that is not her norm.  She is heavy on my heart today so lets all meet at the throne of grace.
   
  Blessed Lord we have no idea of the circumstances with our dear TMJ but we rejoice that You know her every thought and action and need.  We ask that You pour out comfort on her, wrap her in the soft down of Your Holy Spirit and meet every need she has.  Dispel her pain Lord, cancel any headache, or seizure, or side effects from chemo.  She is Your child, and she is our friend, so we bring her to You for Your mercy.  amen

   Look all around you
   Take the time and see
   Listen with your heart
   And hear it be
  Every four years we get a bonus
  An extra day to spare
  Another reason to show our Faith and Inspiration and Love
  Of God, to share and care
  Smiles and Hugs
  Laughter too
  Musn't forget about the chocolate and sweet treats
  In which we recognize our special ones
  February 14th , it's true
  Ash Wednesday, Maudy Thursday
  And as we prepare for Lent
  Embrace the Spirit
  Time well reflected and spent
  The theme of this month is complimentary
  Let's hear it for God's Love in February...
