Judgement Day

Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off? I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly. (Luke 18: 6-8)

This scripture passage came to me this morning in a devotional I was reading. It was very timely(thank you Jesus!), as on Saturday morning as Wubby and I were praying and reading, the parable of the persistent widow came up in our daily readings. As we discussed the need to pray without ceasing concerning bringing our daughter home from Guatemala, we also realized that sometimes praying in "thought" just isn't enough. We needed to pray in "action"!! We are taking this to the next level, and we feel very empowered by the Holy Spirit. We feel now is a time of movement, not passivity. We continue our fervent prayers and we are turning up the heat as we strike the match again and again until we have a roaring flame ignited that will reach far away into the heart of the judge that feels he is in control. We are praying for his submission to the will of God, and for a just decision to be rendered...NOW! We will be relentless in our efforts to thwart the plans of the enemy, and will plague the Heavens with persistent prayer until a decision will be made. We know who is truly in control...God! I have commanded Satan back to Hell in Jesus' name, and will not allow him to devour this tiny soul.

Please pray with me!!

Happy Halloween!

Every year my husband's office decorates for Halloween. Other bays join in, and there is a contest at the end for the best design. Summer Rain loves to go, and she gets enough candy to not go out later...but that doesn't stop her from trick-or-treating later..no,no,no :-) This year Wubby grew a goatee and moustache and transformed into "Shaggy" from Scooby-Doo! They all did a great job with costumes, and everyone had a great time!

Thanksgiving in October?

I didn't think it was possible. It was definitly handcrafted by God. :-) Last Sunday evening as I was cooking dinner, it dawned on me that our middle son had not left to go back to college. Hmmmm. His girlfriend was still there, too. Then I realized that our firstborn son was also home, and with his girlfriend no less! Our dear daughter was there as usual, and I made a quick phone call to get son #3 home from a friend's house as well. The wheels were turning very quickly in this brain of mine. Suddenly I started cooking even more!!! There was homemade beef stew, chicken and dumplings, mashed potatoes, baked beans, white gravy with peppercorns, fresh bread, and brownies hot out of the oven! I also brewed up my special sweet tea, which they can only get at home! A feast for sure!! We all sat down to eat together, and the laughter and smiles that accompanied the meal nourished our souls as much as the food nourished our bodies. Funny, but just the night before, Wubby had asked me what truly made me happy. I told him I was truly happy when our whole family got together and shared a meal. God was listening, and "overnighted" me an answer to a prayer!! Thank you Jesus!!
