Mondays
Funny how not many people like Mondays, maybe because its the beginning of a work week and everyone awaits Friday. Well let me tell you about my Monday. Yesterday was the first day I have felt reasonable in almost 7 weeks. God through your prayers was so good to me yesterday and I felt like I was being carried along.
My wee grandson Ben who is 2 and a half likes me to carry him on my shoulders, he says "Ben on Papas shoulders". I think God was carring me on His shoulders yesterday and I'm going to see if He will let me climb on today again because it felt good and safe. Isaiah says "the Government shall be upon His shoulder and His name shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, EVERLASTING FATHER, MIGHTY GOD and PRINCE OF PEACE.
Not a bit of wonder I feel safe, Ben can just call me Papa but I (you) can call my (our) God all these things knowing that He hears our every cry. We call Him ABBA our Daddy God, one who is touched with our feelings.
Went to my cell last night, what a group of people, I could genuinely feel their love and compassion as they prayed with me.
Thank you all for your carrying prayers, I'm away to climb on His shoulders.
Love yas

Relationship changes. Job changes. Health changes. Weather changes - but the One Who ruled the earth last night is the same One Who rules it today. He never changes! David writes, '...from everlasting to everlasting You are God'Psalm 90:2. Counsellors may comfort us in the storm, but we need a God Who can still the storm.
I just heard about your web this morning at our 6.30. prayer meeting in Portadown Elim Church. We were once again remembering you and your family in Prayer. One day we will understand why.

Footprints in the Sand by Mary Stevenson
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the
sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he
noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one
belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When
the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and saddest
times in his life. This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, You said that
once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all
the way. But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set
of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed
you most you would leave me." The Lord replied,
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it
was then that I Carried You."
