31 This is the day the LORD has made...I WILL REJOICE!



We--Mr. MacGreggor and I--have been sloshing through this 'muck' for so long that I thought I might never see this day.

What day, you ask?  

Well, I will be sooooooooo glad to tell you! 

When God said, 
'This is the day that I have made, I will be glad and rejoice in it'...
I have tried to be faithful to do just that, see things as will be, not what they are.   Look past the circumstances, don't worry about tomorrow...live today and meet the troubles head on.  

Of course I have been saying these things to Greg, huh Greg?

I have been studying Hebrews and gleaning some wonderful things (with the help on the Amplified Version):

"We have the Hope as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.....It cannot slip...It cannot breakdown on who ever steps out on it....  A hope that reaches farther and enters into the very certainty of the Presence within the veil."   (that was Heb. 6:19)



Vs 20 sez: " in which it is impossible for God to prove false or deceive us;  We, who have fled to Him for refuge, might have MIGHTY INDWELLING STRENGTH and STRONG ENCOURAGEMENT...to grasp and hold fast the Hope appointed for us..."



After talking to Greg this day (the  Lord made)  I prayed:  "God, you are so faithful...so gracious...so merciful to us who are so challenged by the enemy of our souls....to mistrust, lack trust  in  your great and precious promises...You are God,  The Great I Am!!


It is such a blessing to have 'crawled, limped, cried, whined', through this abyss of depression with Greg—

Because he has come out on the other side.

Today he said to me, he had it all backward...every morning he figured he was "staring death in the face"----when now he knows each day is a miracle, a day of life that he has been given.

Physically and actually things are still in a 'crisis' mode.  Can't see daylight....but God is showing up all over the place...not in the way we asked for or wanted, or expected.  But God in His infinite wisdom is 'directing' this Greg Toft drama...and He knows what He is doing and going to do, we just have to TRUST Him, He knows the way.

 He still has some mighty hurdles to jump, but God will give him wisdom and strength, or God just might pick him up and jump the hurdles with him...or just simply remove the hurdles...guess we will wait and see, eh?

Well, again...hang in there, hang on tight to His hand, and we'll see you here, there or in the air.

In the morning!!  Crayola

Love and MORE...

30 A Merry Heart (something to smile about)



Some excuses we have heard all of our lives, about why  people don't want to go to church.

I just read a tract with some great humor:

I've been a Sports Fan all of my life:
Football in the fall...
Basketball in the winter...
Baseball in the spring and summer...
BUT I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER GAME BECAUSE:

They always ask me for money...
The people I sat with were not very friendly...
The seats were too hard...
The coach never asked me for advice...
The referee made some bad calls...
Some people cared more about their looks than the game...
Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home...
The band played numbers that I didn't know...
Too many games didn't fit into my schedule...
My parents took me to many games while I was growing up...
I have read many books on sports and I know as much as the coaches...
I don't take my kids to any games so that they can make their own choices...

Well what do you think of that?   I thought it was quite funny, but disconcerting at the same time.

What do you think of your choices????
Jesus could return very soon...where do you think your choices will get you?

Hang in there, hang on tight to His hand, and we'll see you here, there, or in the air!!

(Hang on Greg!)
