GOD WILL NOT LET YOU FALL

My family and I went camping this past summer. We took several hikes down the little river bed as it flowed through the Cuyamaca State Park near our home in San Diego. We stopped for a picnic lunch, and ate with our feet in the cool running water.

As I ate my sandwich, I started tracing a trail through the rocks that shot up into the air in front of us. It was an old habit from days gone by of rock scrambling: no ropes, no hardware, no helmet, no brains! As teenagers, and even into college, my buddies and I would climb the rocks of Big Bend in Texas. I'm sure I'll get in trouble with the folks from safety but I confess...I got up and started to climb; partly to prove something to myself and mostly to show off for my bride of nine years.

Our daughter of fifteen watched me for a bit and started to follow. She caught up with me and we went over the basics. I showed her the path she was to take which involved little skill and kept mom happy. I took the more difficult route and we met at the top. Unless you rappel, getting down is usually more difficult, so I stayed close to Tiffany in order to offer help should she need it. The tendency is to cling to the rock but often it's best to lean out away from it for better balance and stability. As she was coming down, I was below verbally guiding her. She couldn't see the next ledge below her, and was trying her best to stretch in order to touch it while hanging on to the hand hold above. I could see exactly what she needed to do and knew she was capable of doing it. I told her she just had to trust me. With confidence in Dad, she lowered herself the last few inches and fully planted her feet on secure rock. You could see the pride shining in her eyes (and probably mine too)!

Just think of how many times our heavenly "Dad" is below us; seeing the next step perfectly, even when we are blind to the future. There are times when we simply have to trust God to not let us fall. The more we learn to depend on God the easier it gets to place our lives into those loving hands with confidence. The next time you find your footing somewhat unsure, and the fear of falling looms up from below, remember that God is there for you, anxious to show you the way and guide you one step at a time.

Sunday Morning Coffee Bump.

Hi sweetheart! :-)

I didn’t sleep all night and am miserable this morning with a sinus problem...I hope it’s not an infection.

Anyway, I have to call pastor Jerry and the guys in the band and let them know I can’t come today.

I hate it when that happens.

Lynn-dah had a little butt-problem and was taken to the vet yesterday, which was the extent of our outing together.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Amazing Grace
(Click)
By John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy. Amen.

Hope you were able to rest and feel better this evening. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...having fun at your daughter’s? Pup enjoying her trip?

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[left that other site]

I have never heard of that one before.
Is it a homeopathic Remedy?

I did manage to get through the service this morning, but got the bad news that our harmonica player had a stroke and is in the hospital. I think he is younger than I am!

Please keep him in your prayers.

[Arrowhead1952]

Heading back home mid morning with an overnight stop. Pup does much better if we stop after five or six hours in the truck.

We have been framing their basement for additional rooms. My arms are tired after swinging a hammer for the past two days.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Meg.

Thank you for the prayer for our protectors...and my favorite colors, too.

“I hope the choir sings “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” next.”

LOL!!
