Spiritual Sunday


Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”


A big thank you to you friends who prayed for me today. I arrived safely in San Diego. Your prayers were strengthening, I'll tell you, when I got into the city and four lanes of traffic merged into another four lanes and I had to make sure I was on the correct route. I couldn't have done it without the Lord's help through your prayers and Amy's calm co-piloting!


When we began our road trip this morning and entered our first interstate at about 4:45 a.m. it was pitch black out. We followed a big semi with the back panel of his truck lit up with these words: Jesus is Lord. I thought this was worthy of a Spiritual Sunday post!

  2. I am so glad you arrived safely and what a blessing to follow a truck that said Jesus is Lord. That had to let you know the Lord was watching over you all the way. Enjoy your trip. Hugs, Marty

  6. Thanks for letting us know you arrived safely, Mary.
    I, too, like to take refuge on the highway, by shadowing the 18-wheelers. How prophetic that fate would have your path meet with that special trucker! I wonder if he's aware what comfort his message brings to others?

    Enjoy your stay!

  7. We just went through Los Angeles last week-end, so I can relate to your dismay at 8 lanes...it can be intimidating and scary. I've seen trucks with similar signs...it always blesses my heart to see it, and I say a prayer for the driver. Jesus is Lord...yes, He is!

    God bless,
    Mary

  14. The awesome response when I posted about a prayer request for my son was overwhelming for me and moved me into tears. I was just telling my family that we must pray Psalm 91 and there you go, you posted it this morning and gave me goose bumps as I opened your house's door :)

    So glad that you arrived at your destination safely. How comforting that in blackness of the dawn, you are following that Light!

    Thank you sister Mary for your prayers. I truly appreciate your friendship. Take care of yourself and enjoy your Sunday. Praising the Lord Who deserves all our thanks. Love you.

  15. You are right. This did make a good post. I know your feeling about being on those freeways. When we lived in L.A. I drove up and down those things like crazy--and also San Diego. But now, I don't like them so much. I'm glad you arrived safe and sound.

  23. My Sweet & Smiling Friend,

    Even though I haven't been around much on others blogs of late, I knew that you were traveling. Sometimes I get on and just read without commenting and it's usually in the wee hours of the morning.

    I'm so blessed by this post. God is so awesome and of coarse so is Psalm 91 as that's the Psalm that is the Heading in my blog. I so love that Psalm and take such rest in it.

    Praise God with His sign to you on that back panel of the semi: Jesus is Lord. Absolutely awesome my friend.

    My prayers continue and have always been with you sweet friend. I love you dearly.

    Love, Prayers & Big Hugs,
    Alleluiabelle

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancé will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
