Life can be full of the dreads: 

  • what if I fail?

  • lose my job?

  • lose my health?

  • told to get my life in order?

Today is mine; each of us influence another's life for the good or bad. So, to whom it may concern, I want to thank those responsible for:

  • Being able to often drive non-stop on North Walnut without braking .

  • The lovely wave of petunias in passing.

  • The varied Come Bloom with us arrangements.

  • The freedom to park at the church when volunteering at the Rogers Street Community Kitchen.

  • The left turn signal on Leonard Springs on to Bloomfield Road without delay.

  • Those who see me with a few groceries & allow me their place.

  • The opening of another checkout.

  • Those who let me enter the highway from an off street (truckers are especially thoughtful).

  • Family and friends who give me advantage of the doubt.

  • Someone has said, "A friend is one who knows all about you and still likes you"

To all, I offer thanks!

January 2005

Note from Ann to all concerned:  I do take your prayer requests seriously. I do pray believing and knowing that distance is no problem with God, no wall is too high or too thick, that the Holy Spirit cannot come to your aid. I also know that Jesus is our intercessor knowing what is good for us and when my special prayer partner and I pray, we are basing results on the scripture: “Where two or more are gathered in my Name and agree on one thing, I will be in the midst of them.”

Scripturally speaking, we will prosper as our soul prospers. Another scripture which means a lot to me and I offer for consideration, “If my people will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear their voice and come to their rescue.”

Some of my memorized verses which I rely on: 

  • Psalm 46:1  God is our refuge and strength, a present help in time of trouble.

  • Another favorite:  He that is within me (Holy Spirit) is greater than he (Satan) which is in the world.

  • Another favorite:  I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.

  • Another favorite:  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. (Because there couldn’t be a shadow unless there was a light and Jesus is that light.)

  • Another favorite:  Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.

 

Praise the Lord!
