Sites can be odd at times, sorry that happened to you Gabby. But I see that you're back now, so hopefully you won't have any more issues. If you do, you can email me again and I'll let the staff know. :)

Yay, it's Saturday! Hope everyone has a nice weekend :) I'm gonna go grab some lunch now.

God bless :hug:

Oh SHAY....I'm sorry..I laughed at what you posted....you have no idea the things that came out of my mother's mouth when I took her out before she got sick....I SO TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
I guess some of us have this problem to take care of our ailing parents...it must be something we need to learn...c'mere sweetie. Gabby hugs for you.
Call me this weekend we will talk.
Love you girl

LOL!! I'm just glad someone got a laugh out of the post, and does understand! Parents, and in my case, grandparents, being difficult to deal with is just so much.....ah, well, ya know! Anyhoo, glad to be able to talk with someone about it! Sorry I didn't call like I was suppose to last weekend. Went and made my rounds to visit people, except one person, before going to see the boyfriend in TN. Now I get to run my last errands today, and pack 'course. One thing before I go further.....

Father,
I pray for my family here, and their needs. I know many are dealing with difficult people in their lives, and some are struggling to just cope with each day as it comes. I pray for You to be with them as they do, as You have told me You can take care of us better than we can take care of ourselves. I'm going to lean on that promise today.
in Jesus, I pray. Amen

Lord,
I begin my morning coming with my Sisters to the feet of Jesus Christ, that we may be blessed and that our hearts may be healed. Forgive us of our sins against you, Lord and Saviour, help us to remember all that you have done for us and how perfect your salvation is. Let us see your love, Father, all around us today and may we each be blessed with miracles in our life.

When we cry out to you Lord, hear us and help us. Comfort us in the darkness with you Light and mercy. Give the strength to take each step, accomplish each task, and fix any errors in our life. Remind us while we're not perfect, you still love us. In Jesus' sweet and perfect name, Amen. :pray:

As for the Sister I asked us to pray for the other day, her fever has broken but she's still in pain. So please continue to remember her in your prayers.

As for myself, I'm doing alright. My sleep pattern is all messed up and I'm still having issues with falling asleep... just not use to my bed back home and still a little stressed out (but nothing major at the moment). I'm also getting a cold and my Dad has one so please pray for healing for the two of us.

Shan and Gabby... and the rest of the gang who visits here... I love you :hug:

Valuable to God
Read Acts 10:9-35
God shows no partiality.
-Romans 2:11 (NRSV)​
SOMETIMES I wonder if I matter to God. By the world's standards, I am worth nothing. I don't have a high-paying job; in fact, I am disabled and live in low-rent housing. With a modest, subsidized income, I don't have a big bank account. By society's standards, I would be considered a failure and perhaps an outcast.
However, when I find myself feeling worthless and useless I can turn to Romans 2:11 and read, "God shows no partiality." Meditating on this scripture helps me to realize that regardless of my position in life, I matter to God just as much as anyone else in the world. Our worth to God is not based on race, financial condition, age, sex, or education. We matter to the supreme God, who created us and loved us enough to send Jesus Christ to die for the sins of each one of us. Knowing that, we can respond to feelings of worthlessness by remembering how worthwhile we are to God.
Sheila Hicks (Tennessee, U.S.A.)

Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for seeing us as valuable and worthy of your love, no matter what our position in life. Grant us your grace to see others the same way, as we pray, "Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation."* Amen.

We are to respect one another because God respects us.

Please pray for travel safety for me, as I'm leaving today for a week's vacation and such. And before I go....

Father,
I pray for my family here today. I lift up those needing prayer, and Your care. I pray for those among us that haven't said anything of what they need to. We all need You, and I pray we all know You are always with us.
in Jesus, I pray. Amen

Read: Acts 10:24-48
Do not call anything impure that God has made clean. - Acts 10:15
TODAY IN THE WORD
In the introduction to the third edition of “Common Sense,” Thomas Paine wrote, “a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right.” In Peter's day, Jewish discrimination against Gentiles had become so commonplace—religious leaders had essentially written it into the Jewish laws—that it took a divine revelation to show Peter that Gentile believers were not unclean. Despite the prevailing wisdom, dismissing the faith of an entire race or group of people was most definitely not right. God's desire was for the church to be one (cf. John 17:20-21), and He had prepared the hearts of Peter and Cornelius for this historic meeting of believers. The divine nature of the vision to Cornelius can be seen in the specific knowledge he had of Peter's whereabouts (which had changed during yesterday's reading). The Gentile believers were ready to hear God speak, and the Jewish apostle was ready to deliver God's message.
Peter's message was simple: he summarized the advent of Christ and the essence of the gospel. Nothing in his message had anything to do with race, age, or gender. It was the story of how God introduced His plan of salvation to “everyone who believes” (v. 43).
The ensuing manifestation of the Holy Spirit on the Gentile believers was important, not only for the personal benefit of the believers who were baptized by the Spirit, but also for the enlightenment and unity of the entire Church body. The reaction from the Jewish witnesses was more than mere surprise; they were greatly astonished at the recipients of the Holy Spirit's blessing. This event confirmed for all who saw and heard that God would make no racial division among believers. Peter followed up the divine authentication with the human observation of water baptism. It was a sign of obedient submission to God's judgment on the matter and genuine love to Peter's newfound brothers in Christ.

TODAY ALONG THE WAY
Even apart from racial divisions, we modern believers can sometimes be astonished at whom God chooses to welcome into His family. So we tend to associate only with those believers who look, speak, worship, dress, and behave as we do. We are united in Christ, so we shouldn't allow cultural matters to divide us. Expand your understanding of the body of Christ by occasionally attending a service or event at a church that is drastically different from your preferred style.

Well I am glad about one thing... that she's following God and doing His will. Alot of people need prayer in this world and over the years I've come to see what a powerful Lady our Gabby is when it comes to using the Spirit and prayer.

Hopefully we can keep this thread going. So if and when Gabby comes back she'll see that we are grateful for her hard work.

I'll check back in later ^_^

I'm back, and am a bit of a wreck (long story), and will post about it later. I'll post a prayer before leaving this morning....

Father,
I pray for my sisters here, and for those requests I don't know about too. I pray for us all to want to be closer to You everyday, and to follow You always, no matter what. I pray for my fellows here, especially those not here right now. Thank You for giving me the fellowship of my family here.
in Jesus, I pray. Amen
