It is 5:30 a.m. and the coffee is done. Joey just left for work. He comes here in the morning for a clean clothes, shower and coffee. John took his blood pressure this morning and it is high. He does a lot of night eating and I think that elevates it. He went back to bed. I will encourage him to walk today.
God spoke to my spirit this morning and I love it when I know that I know that I know it is HIM. I am called to pray for HIS children, I have cared for in the past. They hurt and when they hurt, I hurt. One of my girls, left this in my open journal one day. I always keep it close to my heart. I disappoint myself only; never the children, John and I cared for or felt connected to over the years.
It is time to make some Prayer Journals and send them off to those I care and pray for. I have been so blessed over the years. I have work to do and today is the day to march forward. Please pray for the girls that struggle and hurt today. My heart is heavy for them.
One year ago today, I was waiting next to John's hospital bed. He had a major heart attack and his procedures were about to start. I am thankful that God has given us another year together with the hopes and dreams of more. He is doing so much better. Aging has set in on both of us, but in a good way.
This crazy sickness has taken my strength this past week. I feel somewhat better today, but my back and ribs hurt from coughing Will stay close to home today. I have done lots of sleeping, drinking juice and coughing. Pray for me to regain the energy and strength I need for the coming days.
The kitchen looks great. My helper is coming again on Saturday to help clean the rest of the cupboards. I hope to have her come a couple days during the month to help me get caught up. John worked in the yard last week so things are starting to shape up again. I want to be back to writing and working on my paper journals. The craft room always suffers when I am sick. It looks like a dump and run right at the moment.
The word for today is Honor! According to the online version of Merriam-Webster Dictionary the word honor means to esteem (reputation), merited (recognition) and privilege. The Bible verse reference is John 12:26. "If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him." I am so honored to hear the Father speak to me. I am humbled sharing my thoughts.
I read this and my heart sang with joy.
I trust the next chapter because I know the author. xo
As I read His word this fit in perfect.
Life is good today. I pray for all of God's children.
The promise for today is: I am tenderhearted towards all that I have made. Psalm 145:9
Remember, the Father loves you and is tenderhearted towards you. I am asking Him to bless you and show you great favor today. Dance in His glory!
God called me to pray!
Love is in the ink.
Love, Mary Kay
