This Indiana Congressman, Rep. Pence, was not afraid to stand up in Congress and proclaim that we, indeed, are a nation of prayer!
I was shopping for a birthday card during my lunch hour last week when I overheard an elderly woman in the card aisle talking to her niece, a woman about my age. Here is what she said: “ I threw out all my cards. They never meant those words anyway .” Lots of laughter followed. How sad I thought to be unable to receive the love sent to her in the sentiments of a card. This incident got me thinking about the love of God and resolving to embrace it when it is offered to me. It doesn’t matter if I think I’m worthy of such extravagant love; He thinks so! In contrast, just a day later I received one of those gorgeous hand-crafted cards in the mail from my friend, Kay, who loves paper crafting. It was so pretty and love and joy just oozed out of it when I opened it. This is a sample of her designs at Creativity is Good.

Amen!!!May God give us, His witnesses, the boldness to share our faith based on TRUTH to this world filled with darkness.
ReplyDeleteWe must never cease on praying as our enemies are active to defeat God's children. But they know...they are defeated long ago! To God be the glory! May many more "Mike Pence" stand up and not be afraid! God bless you sister Mary. Have a great Wednesday!
Amen!

It is tragic to see the President/Administration the nation and the world rejecting the things of GOD. They will regret that because the Bible is clear: Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.
Love you!
Hallelujah! That gave me goose bumps. It's so good to hear some good come out of that place!!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to see what our blessed nation has come to but I still know that the Lord is in control!
Hugs to you sweet friend.

Oh that we had more BOLD politicians!
ReplyDeleteYes, AMEN! It sounded sooo good to hear a politician stand up for prayer and pray it boldly in front of all of us and our nation! Now let's have that same kind of action ripple and wave itself throughout the entire White House, the entire country and the entire world! Praise your Mighty name Father. Praise your Mighty name.

Thank you for coming by for a visit.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for the reminder to get my little 'garden area' ready for summer.
Most of the year we are inside because of our Oregon rain, which leaves things so green and beautiful. =0)
I'll be back to read more later.
blessings,

Since I'm a resident, let me say Yay for Indiana! Mike's comments remind me of Isaiah 9:6 "... and the government shall be upon His shoulder".
