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! Sunshine, humidity, breezes..just another day in Florida!
We had our rainstorm in the middle of the day, yesterday. It started just as my cleaning team came and rained pretty hard for about thirty minutes. which cooled the temp. down quite a bit. But, as usual, afterwards, when the sun came back, it was hot!
After the girls were finished, I went to CVS to pick up a Prescrip. that was ready, and then went on to the Park. Trees were still dripping and puddles were everywhere, but it looked good to see the park freshly mowed, and the canal clean. Trash from the back of the houses usually washes down into the canal in front of the weir, but it was not there this time. I saw a very large egret sitting on a rail, and the brown gopher tortoise just out of his burrow. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 20
In times of trouble, may the Lord respond to your cry.
May the God of Israel keep you safe from all harm.
May he send you help from his sanctuary
and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
May he remember all your gifts
and look favorably on your burnt offerings.
May he grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.
May we shout for joy when we hear of your
victory, flying banners to honor our God.
May the Lord answer all your prayers.
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed king.
He will answer him from his holy heaven
and rescue him by his great power.
Some nations boast of their armies and
weapons, but we boast in the Lord our God.
those nations will fall down and
collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm.
Give victory to our king, O Lord!
Respond to our cry for help.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
