ABC's of the Word - G


How Great is your Goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you,
which you bestow in the sight of men
on those who take refuge in you.
Psalm 31:19
Today I am Grateful for this verse.
He has stored up His Goodness for me.
My refuge is totally in Him.
His Goodness is revealed in the way He cares for me.
The word He teaches to me.
The sleep He brings to me.
The ones He sends to me to surround me...
in love,
in prayer,
in hope,
in understanding,
and in encouragement.
His Goodness is revealed
in the beauty of the earth,
the comfort of my home,
my health,
my joy,
and even my sadness.
His Goodness
is Great!

Hi Liz,

Ah yes He is our Great God. I wanted to thank you so much for your encouragment on my post today. It's funny I have had people tell me that I need to let it go too. Yet I can't. I don't want to. I don't necessarily like the sadness, but I know that God uses that part of me.

Every person I've meet that has lost a parent has asked me in the first 2 years do you ever get over the loss. I say no, you just get better at handeling it.

Thank you for rejoicing with me, and for understanding that some healings have so many layers that God has to do them slowly and one at a time.

Love you,
Carol

P.S. Do you live anywhere near the suburb of Allen?

His goodness is great--even in the times when we don't necessarily feel His goodness--it is still there.

Always wonderful to remember this!!

The Unexpected

Sometimes, things just don't happen like we expect. Occasionally, the unexpected is a nice surprise, but sometimes the unexpected can turn an event, circumstance, or even a life, upside down. Last week, my daughter and I went to spend Spring Break with family. Our flight was lovely, the weather perfect, and we were looking forward to a stress free week. The first thing we did was eat lunch at one of our favorite Thai restaurants. As usual, we looked forward to our fortune cookies. We took turns reading and laughing...and then my daughter opened hers - "Be prepared for a change in plans." Uh-oh. We didn't like this one but we decided our week would be stress free and fun in spite of what a cookie said. Continuing on through out the day, all was well until that night. I sat outside on the porch of a friend I have known for 35 years and received news that changed something I have believed for 30 years. The words were horrible and made me so ill that I got sick within min...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
