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!

    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

    WOW...a total of 8 lanes. GOD Bless you. It reminds me of driving through Atlanta to get to my sister in Pensacola, Fla.

    "JESUS IS LORD"....love it and love you!

    Be safe and know we are praying for you to be completely overwhelmed by GOD's presence and touch!

    Blessings and prayers, andrea

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

Spiritual Sundays ~ Flamboyant Love

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. Kay wrote a beautiful note to me in the card reminding me of God’s tender love for me. She ended her thoughts with “The God of the universe loves us more than we can ever f...

Holiday Movie Comes to Life

It’s uncanny when a new holiday movie comes out and resembles your personal life.   I came clean to my husband on that drive to the Harkins in Sedona confessing that the movie got bad ratings.   It isn’t the type of movie that he would choose to see in the first place.   Rotten Tomatoes gave it one star.   My prince charming replied:   “ Let’s see what we think of it and rate it ourselves.”   Yes!   High five to his palm! It started out as a fun afternoon date.   It would have been perfect if the lady directly in front of me didn’t have on super-strength perfume.   Smells can be troublesome when you’re prone to headaches.   I stuck my head in a big bucket of buttered popcorn; you know-- to alleviate her fragrance, because popcorn smell is less offensive.   What else is a girl like me to do? We named the genre “drama with comedy.”   Cast of characters acted like the typical family scene at Christmas tim...

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play...
