third saturday of lent...



scripture:

for the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. (1 corinthians 1:25, niv)

a thought regarding the scripture:

i know what paul is trying to convey... but, i find it odd as i believe GOD to be neither foolish nor weak at ALL!!! do you???

my answers to yesterday's question:

"I AM the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. you shall have no other gods before me." (exodus 20:2-3, niv)

what did GOD mean by "other gods"??? other gods are all people or things that are more important to you than GOD is. (family, friends, wisdom, power, wealth, etc...)

do you have other gods in your life??? i did at one time but not anymore:)

memory of the day:

i went to the grocery and took kat, hannah, and jacob. they stayed in the car. i was in there for so long that jacob came looking for me. (i guess you had to be there). it was pretty funny:))))

saying grace:

Father, thank You for the peace you have bestowed on me:)

here am i; send me!!!

my GOD, in prayer of intercession, i in all humility lift up the following...

pat (GOD, YOU and YOU alone are the great healer; if it be Your will i ask that YOU pour your mercy on this dear man...)
ginny (thank you, GOD, that gin's test was good!!!)
john
john
the nielsons (thank You, GOD, for covering the nielsons with Your healing hands)
the schrijvers
tabitha's family
ava's family
amanda's family (and her co-worker with tb)
the nall family
the sorenson family (baby elisabeth)
k!!!
the macs
the skaggs (all of them)
the gaddises
the pardues
phillip shannon
ann moore (Father, please ease her pain and suffering)
gene thomason
shirley pritchet
as well as all those others who are suffering
with emotional and/or physical pain
those who have lost their loved ones
those who no longer have employment
the leaders around the world
and all others who are crying out to YOU!!!

FATHER, i continue to praise You for answering the prayers above for elisabeth (her mommy said she is doing better than ever!!!) and now for k, who is back to his normal self:))) for ginny that her test came back negative (and for mine), and that pat was able to have some comfort last night during the prayer vigil... and for puting love and feeling back into my heart... even though it is breaking.

thank YOU again for all YOU are and all YOU do in our lives!!!
in Jesus' name i pray.
amen.

love,
dani
