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! Another sunny, breezy day with predictions of rain, but doesn't look like it now! The first day of fall is upon us, but maybe in the northern states, not here, yet.
I was able to go to the Publix and pick up some groceries and get them put away before my cleaning ladies came yesterday. I had a nice chat with them about their forthcoming cruise with family. One is already worried about maybe a hurricane and she will be stranded in the middle of the ocean. I had to laugh at her, because she is a worry-wart. I am sure she will have a wonderful time!
After watching the Rays lose the afternoon game, I went to the park and took a short walk to the bridge, to check on the young gator that hangs out there.
On my way in, I saw what looked like an anhinga on the edge of the canal, struggling to get a long, wiggly something in his beak. He was across the canal, so I could not see him very well. I noticed that the mowers had been there and mowed a lot of ground that had not been touched in a while. It looked much better.
I checked on the gator and saw that he was almost out of sight under the bridge, but while I watched, he turned around and came out and rested his chin on the mudbank he lounges on. He is almost or maybe is, three feet long now. Getting bigger with all the stuff people feed him.
Speaking of these creatures, the crocodile pic that my friend, Karin, sent was on the front page of the Times today. At least, it looked like her pic. The croc is hiding out in a lake at Caya Costa, where her relatives live. The croc is really big and ugly!! But God is good!
He creates all creatures great and small!
From Colossians 3 NLT:
Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace, and always be thankful.
Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
( I will be absent tomorrow, due to taking Brian for a procedure.)

Listen for the Music
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! Sunshiny,, windy and still humid, but it is a beautiful day! The squirrels continue to fuss and zip up the trees very fast, and the acorns continue to fall, so there is always some activity in the front yard.
I still have not been out, while regaining my strength, but it looks like today is the day. I have some errands to run, so I will do it while I still have the energy. I have seen big blotches on the front sidewalk, which look like the birds have been enjoying the Beauty Berry Bush. I am so glad I don't hang sheets out, any more! And I am thankful for the dryer and washer and all my appliances. We all wear out, including the appliances, but our spirits are renewed day by day. God is good!
From the devotional book Quiet Moments with God for Teachers:
How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
Psalm 137:4 KJV
George Gershwin was talking to a friend on the crowded beach of a resort near New York City when the joyous shrieks of voices pierced their conversation. Clanking tunes ground out from a nearby merry-go-round, while barkers and hucksters shouted themselves hoarse. From underground came the deep roar of the subway; beside them crashed the relentless waves of the ocean.
Gershwin listened and then remarked to his friend, "All of this could turn into a magnificent musical piece expressive of every human activity and feeling with pauses, counterpoints, blends and climaxes of sound that would be beautiful....But it is not that...it is all discordant, terrible, and exhausting -----as we hear it now. The pattern is always being shattered."
What a parable of our time! So many confusing sounds and noises, so much unrest, so much rapid change. But somewhere in the midst of it, a pattern could emerge; a meaning could come out of it.
Our job is to hear the music in the noise.
Sometimes, finding the melodic line is a simple matter of listening selectively---mentally tuning out all but one sound for a while. That's what happens when we sit for a few minutes over a cup of tea and listen intently to that coworker, student, or friend. Once we listen and truly hear the "tune" they're playing, their unique melody will always be distinct to us, even in the cacophony of busy days.
If we are intentional about what we hear, the conflicting chaos swirling around our own symphony will be weeded out; God's music will be easier to hear.
This afternoon take time to be a creative listener!
I have shown you thepower of silence. How thoroughly it heals and how fully pleasing it is to God. It is by silence that the Saints grew. It was because of silence that the power of God dwelt in them: because of silence that the mysteries of God were known to them.
Father Ammonas
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs, Amaryllis

Psoaring thru Psalm 139
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 this morning, and just a little cooler, teasing us with visions of fall coming...I have seen maple trees that are turning color, so that is encouraging. It will be good to be able to turn the A/C off for a little while.
These are thoughts from seven hours in the ER ...busy nurses and doctors as the afternoon wore on, but when I was admitted, I got almost immediate attention, because they were not very busy. The doctor came in right away and introduced himself and shook hands, and as he asked questions about my past history, I remarked that the last time I fainted I was on a motorcycle..he smiled and looked over at Brian, as if thinking, I might be a little delusional. Brian quickly said it was not for him, but at my age, if I wanted to ride on bikes, it was OK with him. Dr, Cotter just murmured to himself, that he wouldn't have guessed it. A very cute young woman was taking all my info on her computer, when an aide, a husky young man, stopped by to kiss her on the cheek. I remarked that that was sweet, and she blushed and said he was a special friend...hmm. Yes.
The paramedics were in evidence as the evening wore on, and I kept looking for Kevin Massey, but was not sure if he came to St. Anthony's or not. All of the patients got excellent care, especially one older man brought in on a gurney, who looked to be in pretty bad shape. All of the nurses and aides gathered around him immediately, and the doctor came right away. Don't know what his problem was, but he got everyone's attention. I was taken for several tests and everyone was cheerful and caring. It was not my first time in the ER and probably will not be my last, but there are lots of people who need prayer every day, when you can witness that slice of life in the very busy emergency room. God is good!
I chose excerpts from Psalm 139, because our bodies are "fearfully and wonderfully made."
From the Promise Bible NLT:
O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
you know my every thought when far away.
You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
You both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to know!...
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!...
Search me, O God, and know my heart:
test me and know my thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs, Amaryllis

Back again
Good morning, Dear friends and Prayer Partners,
I just wanted to make a brief explanation about my absence the past few days. I woke up Thurs. morning with a severe pain in my right leg and after eating breakfast felt light-headed, so laid down on the sofa and fainted for about 10 or 15 minutes. I didn't think I had to call the doc, and my friend and yard man was coming, so he brought in Louis' wheeled walker and after being encouraged to call the doc, I checked with Brian, and got an app't for 3.30. Well, he told me to go to the ER, which I did, without any supper. We were in the ER for seven hours, taking tests to rule out stroke, heart attack, etc. and finally got a room at 11:30.
I had every test except an MRI, including CT scan, chest x-rays, eeg, ultrasound of the carotids, blood tests and heart monitor also BP meds to bring down very high BP.
The results....I am healthy, everything checked out normal (for me) and the problem seems to be vasovagos (don't think that is spelled right). In other words, my brain does not always get enough oxygen when I get up suddenly from sitting or lying, so it will probably happen again. I am slowly regaining my strength, because being in bed for a couple days, kinda takes the starch out of me.
I will be back maybe tomorrow with the devotional. For those of you who knew and were praying for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart! God is good!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

Psoaring thru Psalm 73:22-28
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! I can tell a touch of fall is in the air because the acorns are falling already, and they are still greenish looking. The squirrels are able to store as many as they need in the messy nests they built for the winter. I will have to sweep off the porch today, because the acorns crunch when walked on, and the stuff gets carried into the house. This is a different kind of acorn squash! :o)
After doing a little Christmas shopping yesterday, I drove on down to Hutson's with a couple of purses that needed handles repaired. This is a busy place and always has been. It's the only place I know that does all kinds of repairs, from shoes to belts to handbags, and various other items. I used to take Louis' shoes there for half soles.
I noticed a new blossom on the bird of paradise bush this morning! It usually has a lot at one time, but this is the first one I have seen in a while! Just beautiful!
I went to the park after my errands were run, and all was quiet and peaceful. I had to slow down and wait for a flock of ibis to scatter from beside a car where the driver was eating lunch. I didn't know that they were beggars, also!
Gnarly oaks, moss hanging down, toadstools slowly turning brown, and birds and butterflys flitting about...a little oasis of peace in the busy city. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
I was so foolish and ignorant--
I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
Yet I still belong to you;
you are holding my right hand.
You will keep on guiding me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.
But those who desert him will perish,
for you destroy those who abandon you.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the
wonderful things you do.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

Flowerbox Faith
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! Beautiful blue sky and a little cooler air means a great day!
I had a good time last night with our first Faith Group meeting of the fall. It was special to see everyone again and exchange ideas and pray together. Friendship is a gift given to all of us if we take advantage of it.
I got out to do some shopping yesterday and will go again today, because I always forget something, even if I have a list. But I took time to go to the park and check on the large toadstools, which are once again in a fairy ring near the shelter. Not too many people were there, but it was almost time for school to let out, so that might account for it. I keep looking for the big, old gopher tortoise, but he is not visible to me because of the high weeds. But God is good!
From Quiet Moments with God for teachers:
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night because you are my help. I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you. Your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:6-8
One Labor Day weekend, Shannon's husband constructed a large flowerbox for her. With great care, she picked out and purchased two hundred top-quality bulbs. Next, she filled the flowerbox with the perfect mixture of soil, fertilizer, and peat moss. Then, she spent hours planting the bulbs in a delightful design.
All through the long Idaho winter, she thought about her tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths. If they followed God's plan and waited for His perfect timing, they would change from dull, brown clumps into colorful celebrations of spring.
Maintaining our faith in God during times of forced inactivity is similar to a dormant bulb planted in a flowerbox. At certain times in our lives, we may be compelled to stop all activity and take time out to heal. Instead of lying in our beds fretting about our remaining circumstances, we simply need to wait and rest.
Dormancy for a bulb is nature's solution to getting through times of difficult weather conditions. God's gift of rest is His way of helping us through difficult health conditions. All bulbs store food to carry them through their dormant periods. We can use our times of dormancy to nourish our sould by planting our hearts in the fertile soil of His scriptures.
Like bulbs waiting for spring, we can rest in God's promises as we wait for our recovery. We can look forward to the certain celebration of life through Christ. He alone will bring the colors of spring to our souls.
Faith is not believing that
God can, but that God will!

Roamin' thru Romans
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! Once again we have a pleasant morning, but tomorrow the humidity and heat are predicted to come back. But a taste of fall is nice while it lasts!
When I stepped outside a while ago, I made of moving count of 18 ibises busily pecking along the gutter. One of them had gray feathers around his beak...very outstanding. And the two ducks that have been hanging around were also just sitting in separate driveways. There was a broken egg shell in the driveway next door, which was probably from a duck egg. Today, I saw it and then it was gone. I think the duck ate it...
David C. did his usual good job of cleaning up the messy yard, and then took the wire cover from the gutter and cleaned it out. It was so full of mud and acorns that a small tree was growing in it. The wire cover was not doing much good, so we discarded it .I will have to get one that fastens better.
I took a walk around the back yard and looked at the Beauty Berry Bush, which is loaded with purple berries! The birds love that!
My plumbago bush has also grown with all the rain and is full of blossoms. And, since October is right around the corner, it is time to trim the crepe myrtle. Always something to do, but God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
How can hope for the future help me live today?
Romans 8:18-25 What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, everything on earth was subjected to God's curse. All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. and even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom. For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently.
We have strength and courage to face the trials and suffering of this life because we can look beyond them to the glory that God has in store for us.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs, Amaryllis
