It's Hot Outside!

 Here it is Monday afternoon and I'm still nesting at the kitchen table.  As much as I love porch-sitting in my swing, it's just too hot.  I tried to sit our for a little while yesterday but the heat was so bad even the light breeze was hot air.  It sure didn't take me long to get back in the house where it's nice and cool.

Thank you Lord for air conditioning, it is truly a blessed blessing!

I have a new coffee mug!!  

It has a great message, I love that it will remind me each morning to Be Still and Let God.

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

My little angel, a constant reminder . . .

Hebrews 13:2

Don't forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.

Have you ever felt like you missed an opportunity to entertain an angel.  I have and to this day I regret the decision I made that day.  Mr D and I had just parked our car at a restaurant, as I was getting out of the car a person approached me asking for money.  Seems they were stranded and just needed a few dollars to get where they needed to be.  It caught me so off guard, I politely refused to help.  There are so many people out there that try to scam older folks.  We went on in to eat and I had the strangest feeling, one that did not leave for a long time.  I felt I should have helped that person.  I still get that feeling when I think about that day, and I truly believe that was an angel. It really makes me sad.

Oh, I believe there are angels among us

Sent down to us from somewhere up above

They come to you and me in our darkest hours

To show us how to live, to teach us how to give

To guide us with the light of love

I've had another encounter with what I think was an angel.  A few years ago Mr D and I were shopping in Lowe's when he passed out and hit the floor.  It was one of my scariest moments.  Employees of Lowe's were so great and helpful, they were right there doing all they good.  Of course a small crowd had gathered around us, I was standing yet leaning over Dean trying to be sure of all that they were doing for him while waiting for the ambulance.  Out of 'nowhere' a young man put his hand on my shoulder and asked if he could pray over this situation, of course I said yes and bowed my head as this gentleman prayed a beautiful prayer.  Seconds went by and I turned to thank him, and he was gone.  I looked up and down the aisle, he was nowhere to be seen.  An angel??  Maybe so.

Luke 41:10

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee.

God's restoring servants, His heavenly messengers, have encouraged, sustained and lifted the spirits of many flagging saints; and they have changed many hopeless circumstances into bright propects
