Like a child who is frustrated and can't tie their shoes and has to finally ask a parent to help or risk a fall from those pesky untied shoes! Then stepping back you realize its not failure to ask God Our Father for help,its declaring you love and have faith in Our Lord.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648764918976638628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125464224265954477.post-4771592760316892732014-09-26T15:32:20.237-05:002014-09-26T15:32:20.237-05:00I always used to say this when cake decorating.

I have to keep reminding myself in this day and age of what appears to be increasing troubles, that, like you said, mankind has been here before---just the specifics vary. Praise God that His Sovereign, redemptive plan marches on and He will accomplish His purposes. He is indeed our Rock to flee to.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JoycePlain Ol' Vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174901384615657603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125464224265954477.post-78149897592137876252014-03-15T20:22:41.737-05:002014-03-15T20:22:41.737-05:00Nice, Barb.

Today we worshiped with Vickie and DeWayne at Redeemer PCA here in Augusta. Tonight, after a much-needed afternoon nap,I watched Vickie fix a lovely meal for us, as well as for Barb, Jenna and Leah Stephan. Classical music background and sound, uplifting comments about books we're currently reading and recommending. Truly a Sabbath rest.
