Prayers.

  I am planting begonias in Mom's garden  under her supervision two wees ago. We are still busy living.


There's nothing that's keeping me so close to God as my adversities.
Like the day of tomorrow. My mother is for the time being at a nursing home and have pneumonia, the third this year.
Help doesn't come without trouble, even in Norway. Tomorrow I'm going to have a meeting with the mayor of Sauda with my good nurse friend. I need wisdom and a clear mind to get my message concerning all elderly in the town through.
I am not known for being to diplomatic. Even if I have worked on this case for some time now, I know that without the help of the Lord, I will fail. My brother says, " One thing has these last nine years  taught us; is the power of praying."
So if any of you feel like it, in ten hours from now the meeting will be held.

Hello Scarfies!

Hello!
Just dropping by to touch base with every one.  It's been a while since I've posted on this blog, and I feel a bit guilty about that.  I'm thankful for those who have been faithful to drop by here and leave even a word or two.  I will try to do better! I think that maybe Face Book has been our replacement meeting place.  That's fine, but let's try not to forget where we all met, and to remember that not everyone is on FB.
When drinking my morning coffee, I glanced out the window and noticed how beautiful the green leaves of my neighbors maple tree looked against the bright blue sky.  God gave us such beauty to fill our senses available to us without leaving our couch.  He cares for us in every area of our lives.  How much He cares for us is beyond what we even know or our minds can comprehend!
I don't plan to leave the house today, it will be a day of a bit of yard work, probably not a lot because of my knees, but even a tiny bit feels so good.  I pray you enjoy this day that the Lord has blessed you with.  If your burdened, know that you are loved.  God knows your needs and if you feel like sharing, either individually or as a group, we are hear to pray for you.
Sending you all a big Scarf Sister hug!!!

good morning. dropping in to say hello.

When asked to pray

I got this in an email today...  Thought I'd share it!

lovetoyou!

Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old fellow who always prayed, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side. 'After hearing him pray that prayer many times, someone asked him why he prayed that prayer so fervently.


He answered, 'Well sir, you see, it's like this... I got an old barn out back. It's been there a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather; it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood for many years. It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was leaning to one side a bit. So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on its leaning side so it wouldn’t fall. Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was like that old barn. I've been around a long time. I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning side, 'cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning at times.

Sometimes we get to leaning toward anger, leaning toward bitterness, leaning toward hatred, leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't . So we need to pray, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side, so we will stand straight and tall again, to glorify the Lord.''

I've got the victory!

I've been singing this all morning!!  I may or may not have been jamming it in the D this morning!

He Arose!..He Arose!. He AROSE!!

Past, Present, and Future .. all FORGIVEN!
