Prayer

Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it !Well, God's timing is so perfect! The roof was coated yesterday with lots of sunshine to dry it out. Today we have had fog or something all morning, but no sun at all!

Rick not only did the roof, but when I asked him to give me a date to trim all the hedges and clean out the gutters, he started right in and got all that done. He took a break in the middle and we had lunch, so he was finished with everything about 2 PM. He had an unfortunate incident happen in Lowe's parking lot. A lady backed right into his shiny, black Ford truck, and left a big crunch in the side. At least, she had insurance, so the repairs will be paid for. I saw two cars back into each other in the CVS lot one day., Neither driver looked before backing...they met by chance! There is so much traffic in the CVS parking lot, I always take my time before backing up.

I watched butterflies flitting by as I was watching Rick work on the podacarpus hedge. My beauty berry bush is full of berries and the birds and butterflies both like them. God is good!

From the Promise Bible NLT:

How can I know God hears my prayers?

Psalm 145:18 The Lord is close to all who call on him,yes, to all who call on him
sincerely.


The Lord invites us to make prayer our first response
rather than our last resort. He always listens to those
who are honest with him.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name
will humble themselves and pray and seek my
face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear
from heaven  and will forgive their sins and heal
their land.


Since prayer is conversation with God, we must approach
God with the same love and courtesy we bring to any
relationship we value. We must be humble, not arrogant. We
must admit our sin and seek God's forgiveness.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers
with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Love and hugs,
 Amaryllis
