new mercies and transformations

God makes all things new with his tender mercies, fresh daily.

He gives us gifts to fulfill his purpose for us.

We must share his gifts, love and mercy in a hurting world.

By doing, observing and helping we are blesses with peace.

                                                          

He’s talking if we’re listening.

He’s working if we don’t interfere.

He’s loving, when we don’t.

He’s guiding if we are lost.

He’s there even when we forget.

 

God is always with us if we take time to realize it.

The spirit helps me if I recognize its nearness.

Jesus sacrificed everything for me. I must remember.

Together the four of us can find peace,  contentment and blessings.

Fear is wasted energy

Anger is lost passion

Resentment steals power

 

Grace rains in torrents

Blessings pile up to the windows

Joy is a lovely flower garden of life

 

Mercy covers my head

Love fills my heart

Faith leads the way

His MERCY never fails

3 dear friends - grace mercy and peace

 

 

I took the morning for me. I had a slow breakfast and time to rest and enjoy nowhere to go immediately. When I do this I get the fearful feeling something may happen. I don’t think I will ever forget the morning of May 30, 2009. That was the morning we took off time from church. I got the call. Dad was in the ER, unresponsive. He had a stroke. We spent 11 days in Asheville. It was the beginning of the end. I will never lose that weak feeling that life is fragile and we never know what day everything will change. Now that I have lost both parents, I know the next problem will likely be me or Terry.

 

With Christ I will overcome my fears and grace, mercy and peace shall reign.

Day 120 Mercy

Lord, in your mercy

hear my prayer.

Heal my blindness to my many blessings

and tunnel vision of problems.

Forgive my lack of faith.

Help me find joy in life.

Show me the path that leads

to a stronger relationship with You.

Protect those I love.

Give us peace.

Amen

The sun's rays

break through

my darkened soul.

Lighting the way

I find a hope

that has been dying slowly

with each crisis.

Trusting God to continue

healing our bodies and lifting

our spirits.

Knowing He is with us.

No matter

where we walk,

what we experience,

how we feel,

when we need Him.

That same "Son" light

points the way to

new peace.
