Life is strange Amy, I have all the time in the world and don’t do the ‘creating’ that I’d like to do! I am really impressed with the pretty images you have been making. I can recall when you were still thinking about “trying” to do that - and just look what you’ve been turning out!

[Jane Long]

No need to swap weather. Ours will be heating up again, shortly. Not that we’ll catch up with you ;-)

That’s crazy that you’re already up to 95!!

[potlatch]

Yes, the plants are really responding to all the rain - that we’ve needed for ages! My Easter Lily’s bloomed the week after Easter. What I love are my potted Impatients that bloom year round!

[Jane Long]

Hi there, potlatch!

Yes...strange weather, indeed! It’s a nice little break, though.

Love your purple smiley :-)

[potlatch]

You didn’t step on a thing Mary and I think you are a real ‘sweetie’. Stay well.

LOL...I was just punning along! hehehe! :-)

[potlatch]

I’m glad you like the smiley. You know I am ‘political’, like you, and I don’t have a large collection of ‘pretty’ images. Some times I search for ages trying to find the perfect post..... Anyway, now I try to have some cute little ‘things’ I can post to everyone.

I went to the store today and put on a sweater!

[potlatch]

Lol, you are too punny!!

Lol...we drove past our neighbor who’s been mowing, on his riding mower, every week with shorts and no shirt. He was out mowing today with jeans and a hoody. Hubby said, “You know it’s cold when....”

We got a laugh out of that. We had on long sleeves and jeans...no short sleeves, today.

Access To God

April 29, 2015

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. —Hebrews 4:16

Technology is a blessing in so many ways. Need a bit of information about a health problem? All you have to do is access the Internet where you instantaneously get a list of options to guide your search. Need to contact a friend? Just send a text, email, or Facebook post. But technology can also be frustrating at times. The other day I needed to access some information in my bank account and was asked a list of security questions. Unable to recall the exact answers, I was blocked from my own account. Or think of the times when an important conversation is cut off because of a dead cellphone battery, with no way to reconnect until you find a plug to recharge it.

All of this makes me delighted with the reality that when I need to access God in prayer, there are no security questions and no batteries required. I love the assurance that John gives when he says, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14).

God is always accessible, for He never slumbers nor sleeps! (Ps. 121:4). And thanks to His love for us, He is waiting and ready to listen.

Lord, thank You for desiring communication with me and for the reassurance that You are indeed listening and ready to help in time of need. Teach us to come to You with confidence in Your attentive love for us.

God is always accessible in our time of need.

INSIGHT: In this letter John refutes false teachers who deny that Jesus is the Christ (2:22). He says, “Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross” (5:6 nlt).

[Jane Long]

....Obtain His mercy and find His grace.

Amen.

It's so nice to see you, (((potlatch)))!

This is actually a quote, but it seems much like poetry to me:

Happy Wednesday, all!
***
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.

WELCOME TO WARM FUZZY WEDNESDAY
AT AMY'S PLACE


BUT TODAY
I’m worried about next week,
When some debts are coming due,
And concerns about my family’s health,
Are constantly in view.

But today, the sun is shining,
And my heart is quite at peace,
For the moment, at this instance,
I’m not looking for surcease.

I have some years behind me,
And more yet still ahead,
But on the whole they pleased me,
More than filling me with dread.

For today, the birds spread wings of joy,
To embrace the world “this much”,
Just as do I, in reaching out,
To keep my heart in touch.

In the distant future, when I as memory,
Will haunt the hills and hollows,
Of a changed vicinity,
Then my touch will be as follows:

Folk will be seeing rainbows,
Or singing birds in flight,
And sometimes thoughts of mine,
Will then intrude upon their sight.

For tomorrow will be coming,
While I wend another way,
And my focus will not be with things,
That may be coming, but today.
