This morning in prayer as I sat outside listening to the angelic song of all of the birds, looking at the vast blue of the sky, feeling the breeze on my face and eagerly awaiting the sun to top the mountain, I was thanking him for each of you, I was chatting with him about the wonder of friendship and that even though I do not know many of you, some only by family name in the place I grew up, some only by fellowship here on facebook and I felt such a huge happiness come over me. I felt such joy in knowing that with something as small as a post on the computer, could bring me closer to my father in heaven. If ever I lacked in faith, the lack ceased to exit when I joined facebook! My friends and family are amazing and the support is overwhelming! Thanking God over and over again for this wonderful vehicle:) During all of these realizations and in all of my thanksgiving the word "faith" was so strong in my heart. Yesterday my little g-babe, Dakota said to me "MiMi, what is faith?" I told her it is believing in something even though you can't see it, feeling it in your heart, knowing it is true even though there is nothing for you to see to believe, you just believe it because it is in your heart! She walked away and was very deep in thought, a few moments later she came back and said "so MiMi, faith is like the wind, I can feel it but I can't see it, and I said well yes in a way. You can see the wind though, you can see the trees blowing in the wind, you can feel the wind on your skin, you can see the dust blow across the roadway when the wind blows harder, to this she said..." Silly, MiMi, you can see what the wind does to the trees but it is the tree that moves, I can feel it on my face yes but I can't see it, the wind moves things but still we can only see what it is moving, we can't see the wind! So very true my little 4 year old angel, so very true. Just like the wind we can see the effect of it on the visible objects but we cannot see it. Just like with God, we can see his effect on all things but we cannot see him! Smart little girl I would say, she is so very intrigued with God and Jesus Christ, she is so filled with faith and she knows he is all around her! So the next time you are struggling with faith, let the wind brush across your face, watch the gentle sway of the trees, and know that even though you cannot see it, it still is all around you. God our Father, is in all that we do, sometimes he lays still but we still know he is there! I pray that each of you is filled with faith this day, filled with knowledge that there is a better day coming, that even in the darkest hour he is there waiting to lift you on high in the morning light! I pray that you know you are never alone, that all you need to is call his name and he will comfort you with his mercy and his grace, I pray that when you are in need that you will call upon your family and friends for prayer and rest in the knowledge that his will be done! God bless you all with a wonderful weekend, one that is filled with his never ending presence, with his shield to keep you safe, and his love to keep your heart full! God bless each and everyone of you! Love in Christ.
Please remember Nicole in your prayers as she has surgery this morning, please remember Brenda and her family as they say a farewell to her mother, please remember Terry as she struggles with the infection in her legs, please remember those who struggling with things in life that seem to beat them down, please remember those who are battling with rebuild due to the storms in their areas. Please remember that God works through you and that you have the ability to share him in all that you do! May his mercy and Grace be your best friend today! In Jesus name, amen!
