Good Morning Everyone,
I wanted to tell you I have been in the hospital, and not
on the computer much at all lately. I am still not well, but
hopefully will be with rest, and the correct medicines, and
following a diet strictly. Would appreciate your prayers.
It will be a long process, but one I pray that will end with great
success.
I wanted you to know while I was in there, the more
xrays and tests they took, the more they found. There
was 2 or 3 nights, I really fought a spiritual battle. Then
I realized, it was not my battle to win. My job was to
cling to my heavenly Father for all I am worth, and
face one day at a time, one thing at a time, and I will NOT
face it alone. God is always with me. And he can be
with you like that too. Just make sure Jesus is Lord
and Savior of your life, by repenting of your sins and
asking him to be your Savior. He will come into your life
immediately and forever change it. Then, get into
a good Bible teaching church, and read Gods word daily
for it will strengthen you, bring you hope, and teach you
how to grow closer to God.
I wanted to ask you a question.
Have you been still lately? I mean really still?
With no television or radio playing, no one to talk to.. just
sitting still?
I know I have told you we have a large back yard, full of
nurtured plants, a vegetable garden, and many rose bushes.
It is quiet back there. The only noise a occasional barking
of our dog, or the song of a bird. It is so restful. No noise.
Just the surroundings of God's beautiful creation.
A quiet place.
We all need that quiet place within us.. where the world
cannot intrude, where our troubles don't take precedence,
and where we allow God's spirit to whisper to ours.
A place that is a garden of refreshing.. of hope, of renewal.
If you have not found that quiet time, that quiet spot
then you are missing out on the most important time
in your spiritual life daily. Time with God.
We take time to talk to God, and then sit in his presence
and wait for his gentle leading and urgings in our heart,
and we sit until we feel peace.
Nothing you do, will matter more than this time.
Nothing. Everything else will pass away.
Only time with God will prosper and last.
Love others, savor them, enjoy the day,
but don't neglect the God you need above all else.
Then today you can say, I walked in the garden with
God, and He refreshed me and held me close.
I knew then, everything would be ok.
Love
millie
For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed,
but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall
the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that
has mercy on thee.
Isaiah 54:10
Receive that blessed peace.. in the quiet times and small
corners of each day

"God Speaking"
The man whispered, "God, speak to me" And a
meadowlark sang.
But the man did not hear.
So the man yelled "God, speak to me" And the thunder
& lightning rolled across the sky. But the man did
not listen.
The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."
And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see.
And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle" And a
life was born.
But the man did not notice.
So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me, God, and
let me know you are here"
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
I found this to be a great reminder that God is always
around us in the little and simple things that we take
for granted. .even in our electronic age . . . so I would
like to add one more:
The man cried "God, I need your help" . . . and an
e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and
encouragement. But the man deleted it and continued
crying.....
The good news is that you are loved. Don't miss out
on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that
you expect.
Expect the unexpected....
It is called Faith :)
