We’re smack in the middle of summer but I will pause and count my blessings this season. Our arid Arizona days have turned into monsoon rains and we are refreshed. Triple digits are put on hold for a while and cooler desert mornings allow me longer hours of yard work, especially after the messy, wild storms. We’ve always grown hollyhocks, but for some reason, they went dormant the last two years. I remember Tom on his sickbed reminding me to water the seeds he planted near the fence and, like a crazy lady, I watered what seemed like empty dirt all last year. Was he confused, maybe? Come spring I saw the fluffy, green leaves sprout all along the fence line. I got excited when the different colored flowers opened. You never know what you're going to get! As I watered, I thought of the Scripture verse about “calling forth that which is not as though it was.” Hmm, I should apply that one to several areas of my life! I spent last week with family in Tucson.
This is a new song for me. Thanks!

I've never heard this song before but I know why you like it. We will stand on the promises of God Mary. Even in the midst of trials and difficulties I've found that God is good. He can bring good out of impossible situations.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you friend.
Love you,

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThis song is very encouraging to me today. I haven't heard it before, so I really listened to the words as I read along...it says much about real life, doesn't it? Knowing, even though not always feeling, that God is there is sometimes all we can stand on...and amazingly, it is enough!
God bless,
Mary
Blessings Saleslady371... I use to listen to Susan Ashton but have never heard this song! How beautiful the message to STAND! This ministers to me where I am... and thank you for the Spiritual Sunday post below on the Restoration verses. I believe that this song is a song of restoration. I'm so thankful that we don't stand alone! Thank you for choosing to share this one!
