ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL! HELPFUL! What a rich combination of sentences, who advise the right way! I have some intensive meditations about obedience to the Lord's will also especially in this time, so it fits perfect to my situation here and now.

ReplyDeleteHi Diana, you/yours have been in my thoughts and prayers...am putting you on Sunday's prayer list.
ReplyDeleteGrace, you're welcome...hugs.
Hi Dori, God is faithful, gracious and merciful, isn't He. In a world gone mad, He is always love.
Hi Anita, Begg is good and so are all the others, imo. So many wise people from whom to learn.
Hi ---, another brain cell just went to sleep. For the life of me, cannot remember your name over there at Down on the Farm and I humbly apologize. It's been a rough morning that was preceded by a rough week. Your prayers are most welcome and needed (no doubt in your mind, is there? -grin-).
