Amen.. I feel like I am only on the "receiving end "on this thread. I want to thank you for taking the time each day to pray, share God's Word, and be a encourager to me. God has , in a sense, put me on a shelf right now.I have been ill for over two months. Thank you Knitting, bperiwinkle7 ,kittysmittens,and all of you who are "Gods' encouragers" to me.
Polly
I hope you get feeling better soon, Polly.
This has been a terrible winter for illness... Hope you live where Spring arrives early, with fresh air, sunshine, and hope. :-)
Last winter it was me sick for almost 6 months...hugs, sister...It can be hard!
When the LORD draws us aside into a quiet, still and actionless place, he is further crafting us into the wonderful vessel he has planned, useful, beautiful and loved.
You are in my prayers, and it is hard like KAC says, but there is plenty of sweet, fragrant grass and still, clear water where you are lying down.

GLORY BE TO THE GOD THE FATHER {"To Him be the glory forever!" Romans 11:36}
"Glory be to God the Father,
Glory be to God the Son,
Glory be to God the Spirit,
Great Jehovah, Three in One!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
While eternal ages run!
Glory be to Him Who loved us,
Washed us from each spot and stain!
Glory be to Him Who bought us,
Made us kings with Him to reign!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
To the Lamb that once was slain!
Glory to the King of angels,
Glory to the church's King,
Glory to the King of nations!
Heaven and earth, your praises bring;
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
To the King of glory bring!
"Glory, blessing, praise eternal!"
Thus the choir of angels sings;
"Honor, riches, power, dominion!"
Thus its praise creation brings;
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory to the King of kings!" (Horatius Bonar, 1866)
Glory to You, Your Highness our King! All Hail King Jesus Who Forever Reigns! Be Pleased, Your Majesty, to Accept our Worship through Jesus Christ. Forgive our Sins, and Heal our Land; Restore us to Godliness Again. Pour Out Great Grace Upon our America, O King of Saints.
We Pray for Healing for our Polly, O Lord; Please Grant her Refreshment of Health. We Pray, Abba-Father, for All who Need Thy Touch. Cover us, Jesus, in Thy Comforting, Gracious Love.
We Pray, our Shepherd, for the Rescue of the Helpless; Please Guard them, Lord Jesus our King. Foil All who would Plunder them for their Stem Cells, O God. May Every Frozen Embryo be Kept Safe, and Placed into Loving, Waiting Arms. Please Hold Back the Tide of Evil that is Threatening to Drown our Land!
Quicken us in Thy Power and Grace, and be Exalted Forever, our Lord of Peace. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we Lift You High, Master, amen.
