Memory Verse

I don't have my memory verse memorized...I have the 1st half of it but not the rest. I am amazed at my lack of concentration. I suppose it is a symptom of mourning.

I almost lost it at Target while looking for a birthday card as well as Valentine's cards. Totally forgot to buy a sympathy card for a friend who's father died the day of my father's funeral. As I looked at cards, I was overwhelmed by the fact I would no longer search for "the" card for my father's birthday or father's day.

I suppose it's the little things of life that cause us to love so deeply and cry the tears of grief. I am so thankful I know where my father is and I know I will see him again.

So tonight I will try to learn my verse so I can pray about which verse to begin learning with my Siestas 02/15.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone, remember our true Valentine is our Lord Jesus Who loves us so much, He died to save us.

Go out and spread some of His love and joy this weekend.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong

And while you are sharing His love, have a piece of chocolate!

It is the little things that creep up on us. For me it was in the fruit department at the local grocery store. I saw a bunch of bananas and burst out crying.
It reminded me of my mother putting bananas in the microwave. This was because she'd had a stroke and her memory was gone.
Hugs, Annette.
God bless (oh, and I could use some chocolate about now too!)

It's important to go through the emotion each day or it bottles up. He sees each tear that falls, and loves us more than humanly possible. Hope He's giving you that hug about now. If you can, go early and hear last week's video from Bible study. It was what the Doctor ordered for me. I know it would bless you Happy Valentine's Day to you and much love, Annette G

Joel Rosenberg & Ezekiel 38-39

I wanted to share a little info compiled by author Joel Rosenberg concerning a few chapters from the book of Ezekiel. This has caused me to wonder since Iraq is in such a mess; if that's why it is not listed as a country which attacks Israel. Revelation 18 goes on to say: 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." If Iraq becomes a land of such rich excesses, could it be 1 of the only major oil producers left? (This is food for thought on my part.) In a moment, I will walk you through the prophecies step-by-step. But first, let me note that the predictions found in Ezekiel chapters 36 & 37 have already come true. These are the famous ...
