I Loved your Sweet Kitty Post #93.

I Watched Part of the Debate Tonight, and Mitt Cleaned Obaba's Clock but Good!
Prayerfully, it will help Some 'Undecided' Voters Decide for Mitt!

Timing Is Everything

October 4, 2012

It was quite a few months before I realized that what I thought was a coincidental meeting had been good timing on my future husband’s part.

From the balcony of the church, he had seen me, deduced which exit I might be using, raced down two flights of stairs, and arrived seconds before I did. As he casually held the door and struck up a conversation, I was oblivious to the fact that his “impromptu” dinner invitation had been premeditated. It was perfect timing.

Perfect timing is rare—at least where humans are concerned. But God has specific purposes and plans for us, and His timing is always perfect.

We see that timing in the life of these Bible characters: Abraham’s servant prayed for a wife for Isaac. God answered his prayer by bringing the young woman to him (Gen. 24). Joseph was sold as a slave, falsely accused, and thrown into prison. But eventually God used him to preserve many people’s lives during a famine (45:5-8; 50:20). And we marvel at Esther’s courage as Mordecai reminded her, “Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Est. 4:14).

Are you disappointed in the pace of God’s plans? “Trust in the Lord” (Ps. 37:3). God will open doors when the timing is perfect.

Have faith in God, the sun will shine
Though dark the clouds may be today;
His heart has planned your path and mine,
Have faith in God, have faith alway. —Agnew
God’s timing is perfect—every time!

Read: Psalm 37:3-11

All things work together for good to those . . . who are the called according to His purpose. —Romans 8:28
Bible in a Year:
Nahum 1-3

Well it's nearly the end of the week, and fall is in the air and my mouth says it's time for a good bowl of butter beans with real corn bread.

I love butter beans and when my husband was living he loved
them even better! Wonder what kind of meat is in those
beans? They look wonderful. I cooked pinto’s Monday so I’ll
have to put the butter beans off until a later time. Yum,
and good old cornbread, (cornbread, I could eat every day!)
I could also go for a big pot of homemade vegetable beef
soup also! This time of year, those things are the best!

Right now, I am going to lay down. Been feeling puny for
a few days with a sinus infecton. No fun at all!

Hope you had a great Thursday.
Mine was busy.
All in all, a good day.

I love how everyone is still talking about the debate, and it’s nearly 24 hours later.

Really can’t wait until Paul Ryan is on stage with Biden.

Cheers

Sorry to see you’re feeling puny.
Maybe some nice homemade soup or chili would do us all some good.

Feel better soon!

Hi Meg! Our pal Jaycee is feelin’ under the weather.

When you have a minute, could you please post another delightful picture of your great grand-babies for us?

They never fail to make me smile!

I am so glad you liked it.
It’s an old joke from the Way Back Machine.
