A Trip to the Zoo

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

My husband and I decided to take a 3 week vacation to the mainland to visit our children and grandchildren. The first leg began in Washington visiting our youngest child, our daughter and her family. Yesterday was our first adventure day - a trip to the Portland Zoo. It was $2.00 admission day so off we went. After an hour and a half drive, and a long wait in line to get on a shuttle bus - we got to the entrance and off we went with thousands of other stroller driven kids and moms and dads. I had the camera and made many attempts to capture the memories. I seemed to miss more than getting due to seeing the memory and getting the camera out of it's case and then it was gone. I voiced my frustration to my daughter and she responded, "you will have to remember". I immediately offered up a prayer, Lord please do not let me get alzheimers disease. How marvelous that Abba Father helps us to remember and what He helps us remember is eternal.

Abba Father, thank You that Your name oh Lord is everlasting, Your remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations (Psalm 135:13). And A book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name. (Malachi 3:16). Thank You that You will never leave us nor forsake us. I pray for each sister-in-Christ today and in the days ahead that she be amazed at Your book of remembrance. May she dwell in Your Presence and be reminded of Your Precious Promises. In Jesus Name. Amen.

TIME

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I do not know how many of you enjoy the communication that the internet affords many people. I'm talking mainly about FaceBook (FB). I do enjoy it because I am able to keep up in part with how family and friends are doing. My daughter posed a question on FB the other day. I'm paraphrasing - which superpower would you like to have? There were several responses and the majority of them were time travel. My response was to stop time. It seems that time is top priority these days, TIME, whether to go back or forward in time or to stop it all together. Twenty-four hours, one second at a time and it just keeps ticking endlessly, day after day. What I find so utterly amazing is that our Sovereign Lord spoke and time as we know it came into existence. The day and the night the sun and the moon. Since HE spoke it into existence and HE promises that HIS tender mercies will be given new each day, I need no longer be anxious about time.


Abba Father, how Amazing is Your Love, I stand in awe of the one who made it all. LORD, I pray for each precious sister-in-Christ that this 24 hours of her life will be blessed by Your Love. And that nothing else in her life will cause her to be anxious. May she trust in You Abba Father for all. I pray that she cling to the Promises and remain in Your Love and be renewed. May she allow Your tender mercies to flow through her and upon her and worship You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Enjoying time,
