"The Lord gives strength to his people;
    the Lord blesses his people with peace."
Psalm 29:11


‘“The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
 the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
 the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”’
Numbers 6:24-26


"But I trust in your unfailing love;
    my heart rejoices in your salvation."
Psalm 13:5


salvation = peace

We are blessed, Friends!

Please pray for my daughter and sweet SIL as they travel to the cold Midwest for house hunting.  Thanks, y'all!  


Until next time...

Blessings!

Today I am thankful for our houseplants that clean the air of our home.  I have been tidying them up, cutting off dead leaves, and they all seem happier!


"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Romans 8:31




Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?”  Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi (Well of the Living One Who Sees Me); it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Genesis 16:13-14 (AMP)


So grateful for today's devo and its focus on the present.  I am so thankful for your being here today, praying for each other and focusing on the blessings of THIS day.

Prayer requests?


Until next time...

Blessings!

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 12:2

When our children were little I taught at a Christian High School, and the theme verse for one of the school years was Romans 12:2.  It's amazing to see God work when you pray scripture or focus on particular scripture for an extended period of time.

I hope your local groundhog doesn't see his shadow, Friends!  Have a blessed day!


Until next time...

Blessings!

"With your help I can advance against a troop;
    with my God I can scale a wall."
Psalm 18:29


"For He will command His angels in regard to you,
To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone."
Psalm 91:11-12 (AMP)



(NKJV)




Happy February, Friends!  Thanks for sticking around for another month.  :D

Some of you have shared prayer requests with me, and I want you to know that I have been praying.  Please let me know if you have any updates or new requests.

I have a prayer request this week:  Our daughter and precious SIL are trying to sell their house in Baton Rouge, and they will be traveling to Ann Arbor, MI Thursday to hopefully find and purchase a home.  Please keep them in prayer as this is a big move for them.  Thank you so much!



Until next time...

Blessings!
