It is a beautiful sunny day outside, but it is cold and windy, which makes it feel even colder.  Mr D has come down with whatever it is I have and now we're both puny.  I do seem to be better this morning which is a blessing.

I'm doing Max Lucado's Study:

Experiencing the Heart of Jesus

for 52 weeks.

So far it's been a great study.

He has said, "I have written your name on my hand" (Isaiah 49:16NCV) Quite a thought, isn't it? Your name on God's hand.  Your name of God's lips.

Things to ponder from week 1:

The God You Can Trust

His job is to fight. Our job is to trust.

You only need to remain calm; the Lord will fight for you. (Exodus 14:14NCV)

God's power is very great for us who believe.

• If you're not sure what to do, allow God to take the lead.
• God's job is to fight for you. Your job is to trust in him.
• The very arms that defeated death are the arms awaiting you.
• You can trust that God will catch you when you leap to Him.

Week 2: God's Provision

Things to Ponder

Jesus promises us the Holy Spirit so He can care for us at every level of or need. Don't know what to do?  He will guide us. Need an answer for life's questions? He will bring scripture to. Suddenly speechless in a witnessing opportunity? He will give the right words to say.

God says look inside yourself and find Him.

• The world tries to tell you that everything you need, you already have.
• But a try-harder-and-do-it-yourself faith will just leave you exhausted.
• Jesus promises real help to you in the form of the Holy Spirit.
• The Bible says that the Holy Spirit's dwelling place is within you.

Blessings to All

Until Next Time

A Little Under the Weather

I've been fighting a sore throat for two days.  It's not worse but it sure isn't better.  Trying to stay out of  the doctors office if I can.  As long as it doesn't get worse I'm going to continue on my OTC meds and pray for His healing.

About mid morning I remembered all those boxes of tea Maegan gave me for Christmas!  A cup of hot tea sounded so good to me.  I choose the Chamomile tea, I think it's suppose to be good for what ails you. 

I can't say I feel better, but the heat of the hot tea felt good to my throat as it was going down.  I did enjoy it to the last drop.

I have a new hobby to occupy my time.  It's something anyone with COPD can do and enjoy!

It's called Diamond Art.

It's little beads that stick onto a pattern to make a picture.  It's very time consuming, but it keeps my mind busy, which is what I need.

Here's a tutorial that will tell you all about it.

Diamond Art Turorial

This is a magnet for the fridge, I think it was a set of 10, all different colors and desighns.

Something to think about from Billy Graham.

The church holds the key to revival.  It is within our grasp.  Will we rise to the challenge?  Will we dare pay the price?  The supply of heaven is adequate for the demands of our spiritually starved world.  Will we offer that supply to the hungry masses?

Until Next Time
