daily prayer

      Good morning! How are we faithing?  I have dreams all the time and lately there have been critters involved. Last night it was 2 squirrels came running up to me and there tails were tied together with a piece of string. It looked like they had been playing near it for some reason and got tangled. I caught them and as the male one tried to bite me I calmed him down, untangled their tails, let them go and the female one ran up my chest to my neck and gave me a kiss. The male kinda just rubbed on me and looked me in the eyes and I could see his thanks. Fast forward and they came to visit, unafraid of me and Kat. I enjoy encounters with critters and I'm not sure of the significance most times but this one dream seemed to be telling me that regardless of the pain and in fact sometimes pain is necessary, we still do what is right because it is right. We help because we are children of God and the love in us compels us to. As we see where others are struggling we often can see the problem but they need to learn just like we did and by allowing them to go through they are stronger and wiser for it. Our job is to pray and support them during the lesson. It's hard sometimes to not try to fix or do it for them and we may even endure mistreatment for it but remember that when they come out the other side, they will be better for it and we will have done what we needed to do for them. Doesn't matter if we get recognized, it matters that they progressed. That's love right there...




1Co 13:4-7
  Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,   doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;   rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;   beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.



Col 2:6-7
  As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,  rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

Heavenly Father,

  Thank you for the blessings we receive from you. Thank you for showing us compassion. Lord, help us be aware of our anger and bitterness if there is any. Help us cast it off and be your servants. Let your light shine so we can see with your eyes. thank you in Jesus name, amen
