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! Today is overcast, but there will be lots of sun later on, and maybe a shower or two somewhere around...maybe not in my neighborhood, but somewhere. I am really liking the cloud formations at this time of year..great towering white clouds which lead to thunderstorms, and white, puffy clouds floating around everyplace. Every now and then, while I am stopped when driving, I can see faces or objects in the clouds. I used to do that a lot when I was a kid.
I decided on the spur of the moment to go to Wendy's for a strawberry fields salad for lunch yesterday, and saw that I was not the only one, They were really busy, with the drive thru all around the building , but moving fast. I just got the small salad, but it was good.
I had another encounter with the gecko as I got into the shower this morning, He was right under the faucet, so I told him I was going to spray him to get him to move, which I did. He quickly waggled his way up the wall and over the top of the shower door. Now I don't know where he is, but he has lost a lot of weight. I probably could have caught him, but since I was not dressed, I could not have let him out the door!
So, I heard we have had 10 inches of rain already this year. God supplies most abundantly, and then we don't have any for quite a while and we think we are in a drought. Everything at the park is green and healthy looking and the canal is still high. I saw egrets pecking and ibis walking around, God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Isaiah 40:27-31
O Israel, how can you say the Lord does not see
your troubles? How can you say God refuses to hear your
case? Have you never heard or understood? Don't
you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the
Creator of all the earth? He never grows faint or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to those who are tired and worn out;
he offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become
exhausted , and young men will give up. But those who
wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high
on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
