Hello everyone. I want to thank my heavenly father for another wonderful day on this earth....
Guess what... It's our Anniversary... 18 years..
Here we are at Mt. Airy Casino and Resort. Gorgeous place...
We really enjoyed ourselves...
Many years ago, I met my husband and never in a million years did I think that I would be so blessed to have shared so many different memories with him. We always measure blessings in the things that we have and the things we feel accomplished but the reality is that my biggest blessing was sharing my life with a man who is father to my children, friend to me and my roommate at home.. I thank the Lord everyday for giving me a partner that has been able to be there for me through the good and has been there for the bad. That is one of my biggest gift from God. And with this man I was able to receive my other gifts , my family. I have 3 beautiful daughters and 1 son. We have 2 granddaughters and 1 grandson on the way...
What else can I so selfishly ask for...
There is a song that says:
" I had some good days, I've had some hills to climb,
I've had some weary days and some sleepless nights,
but when I , when I look around and I think things over,
some of my good days out weigh my bad days and I ,
I wont complain...
sometimes the clouds hang low, I can hardly see the road,
I ask a question Lord, why so much pain,
but he knows whats best for me
although my weary eyes, they cant see
so I just say thank you Lord, Thank you Lord,
I won't complain.."
Today on a spiritual note, I heard an inspirational sermon from Pastor Joseph Prince, I thought I shared....

Convince Yourself, Not God |
Mark 5:28 28For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
|
|
With a crowd thronging Him, Jesus was touched by a lot of people that day (Mark 5:31), but only the touch of one woman drew a response from Him. And her touch sparked off instant healing in her body, releasing her from a sickness that had plagued her for 12 years. |
|
Do you want to know how to touch God and receive the miracle you need? |
|
When the woman heard that Jesus was coming by her village, she said to herself, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” On her way to see Jesus, she probably told herself many times, “If I touch His clothes, I will be healed. I will be made whole.” We don’t know how long she had been saying that to herself, but she was convinced that Jesus would heal her. |
|
If you are sick, convince yourself that Jesus is your healer and that by His stripes you are healed. You don’t need to convince God. He is not the one who needs to be persuaded because His blessing is already on you! It isyou who needs to be persuaded that God has already given you your miracle. That is the reason you confess His Word — to convince yourself, not God, to persuade your heart, not His. |
|
Some people confess their faith to others to convince God indirectly. For example, if they are believing God for healing, they go around telling their friends, “I am believing God for healing.” They are actually trying to convince or persuade God to heal them. They are telling God, “I’ve told so many people what I am believing You for. It would be very embarrassing if You don’t make it happen.” Their confession proceeds from unbelief and is used to manipulate God. |
|
It is okay to tell others if you want to, so that they can stand in faith with you for your miracle. But don’t do it to prove your faith to God and to convince Him. You just need to convince yourself that God loves you and delights in blessing you. Just say to yourself, “By His stripes I am healed. I will not suffer lack. I am greatly blessed, highly favored, deeply loved!” And let God take care of the rest. |
