I am the Vine you are the Branches....

This is one of my favorite verses. A frined of mine told me her minister said the problem these days is "we want to be the vine" we want control - we think we know what is best... I know that is true for me - I don't want to be a branch - a branch has to sit back and wait for growth - I don't have time for that... wow listen to that - Why can't I just say - ok you are the vine you know best but no not me.. I hurry up and take over - thinking I can handle things... then I hear that still small voice telling me .... Peace be Still... I know what is best - I have it in my Hands.. I love when I hear that still voice...

Good evening :)

Asking for God's Blanket of Protection

Hello - I have not posted since May 2008 - our world has been on somewhat of a rocky storm not sure where and when things would at least come to a point of some type of peace. February of 2008 our son - an adult was arrested. He has two beautiful little children who we love and see often. It has taken 13 months and he has been sentenced to two years of jail. I have many feelings - one being absolute comfort that God is holding me every moment of every day. I continue to pray for "a blanket of protection to surrond him" - I/we are taking life "one day at a time".

I read many blogs daily and have received comfort and knowledge from them. I feel I am ready to begin blogging again thru prayer. If you want please reply - if you have gone thru a simular situation in life - please reply.

In God's Grace, Mary

Green Lush Trees.....

Good Morning, I sat down to pray and look out the window (the birds are calling me) and see what a beautiful earth we have - how blessed are we? The trees are heavy with rain from the night and the flowers look like they are growing before my eyes...

I feed the birds each morning and it still amazes me when I go out they fly over and just sit waiting for me....they know they will be taken care of ...they trust me - why then do I not trust HIM as I should? HE will take care of things if I let HIM = why do I think I need to fix things? The birds are teaching me....HE knew they would..... have a blessed day....

Hello

Good Morning to all - I have had some password problems along with being very busy so I have not posted for a few weeks. Thanks to all who "comment" I love to know someone out there is taking a look at my blog.
Well, we are having a beautiful couple days of weather in Western Pa. I love to hear the birds in the morning as I sit reading and saying my prayers in the morning. I try to get up as early as possible so I have time for coffee, oatmeal and Bible reading.
Pleae keep us in your prayers my Husband and I are having some very emotional times with our (adult) son and his children. We are helping to raise the children and I just pray all the time we are doing what is best for them and that my son can find some peace in his life.

Thanks - have a blessed week-end...M
