FAITH

Faith is a short five letter word. Many of us profess to have tons of it. The dictionary defines faith as “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.” The Bible’s definition of faith reads -

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11: 1.

Faith is rooted deep down in our smallest capillaries. It’s left up to you to believe. Take a deep breath. Stop worrying. Trust in the Lord. Know that God will work it out! Oh yes ... he will! Have a faith that you can lean on. It will hold you up and comfort you during troubling times. Photo Credit: truthfollowers

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

By Vernalee

When we feel weary and are in doubt, lean on God; lean on the Word.

There are many scriptures that will let you know that "Everything's gonna be alright."

Here are a few:

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Psalms 118:6-9 - The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? ...

1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.

Psalms 23:1-6 - (A Psalm of David.) The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want...

Scriptures will strengthen you, uplift you, comfort you...they are your bridge over troubled waters.

Happy Sunday and Blessings!

WALK WITH ME … LORD

By Vernalee

This song, Walk with Me, was one of my Mother’s favorites. Listen to the words! My Mother prior to her death instructed my niece, my daughter, her great- granddaughter and me on which songs she wanted performed at her funeral. What a woman; what a Mother! Selfishly, we never want to let go of our loved ones even when we see the end in sight. It is so unnatural. My Mother wanted a glorious homegoing, and that she received! My Mother also requested us to line up by age and walk into the church on this song. That we did! So as my dear Mother is walking around Heaven this Sunday morning, we all miss her incredibly. She gave us so much to be thankful for; so many memories; so many quotes; so many recipes; so much love...and the admonition to love The Lord and keep him first. “He’ll order your steps sugar. Just turn it over to him.” On this Sunday, I emotionally say as big Buffalo tears enter my eyes and roll down my cheeks, "I miss you Momma, but I as we all do thank you for all that you gave - your everlasting love, your continuous sacrifices, your forever caring, your relentless prayers for us … your everything! Yes, we all miss your walk on this earth, but you left your mark - one that will never be forgotten; one that will be cherished forever!
