Prayer First Today..........Help Me.......

Dear Heavenly Father

Today is crisp and clear out you give us the glory of hope in your sons name and we thank you for the blessing in that hope. A renewal each time we wake for a better day to come. In that we can see your mighty works. Father, thank you for knowledge that breaks down the weariness of this life, each time we have to go beyond what we think we can we have the power that you gave us to continue through the Holy Spirit. Let us cling to it and know there is no other that can revive us and carry our burdens the way you can. Let us just love what there is to love and leave the rest of it to your will Father and let us be safe and secure in that. Let our focus not drift to things that are too heavy for us to carry with out you.
Thank you for a good husband in my life, a daughter who grows in your word daily and for faith that is beyond what I ever thought I could have. I thank you for it all.

Father, be with Charlotte Smith and Ken Perry the troubles of cancer is with both of them. Help them fight it the best they can and help them with the pain and worry of this devastating disease. Be with Margie for her worry is great and she feels that Ken’s time may be short. Let her relax knowing his mission work will never be forgotten and neither will he because no matter what we have our good times to look and reflect back on even in the face of hard time and medical problems.

Father, look after Glen as he heals from his surgery. Let him take this time to rest and recover from what he has gone through. Be with Carol Sullivan and her family. This surgery came on her quickly without even time to think about it really or how it would affect her life so walk with her Father as she goes through this time.

Father look after all the workers at the building; keep them safe as they go about these task of rebuilding material things. Keep us all in your good favor and working together. Thanks for sending good food from the ladies for their lunches and moments of prayer and rest.

Father, Bless Debra with another good year of life, her birthday has come and gone and it’s time to look for the value of another year. Keep us all in good standing with each other as we work for the good of this family unit. We are small but we are strong in your will. Let the words “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord” always be written on our hearts.

It’s time to end Father but as you know there is no end to my prayers. Keep me always in connection to you by this thread; give me the knowledge to understand, the time to listen, the ability to help. Put every work into my hand that you would have me to do and let me prove to you my love for you. Our relationship is one on one Father, no other force controls it so until you come for me or call me home let me be ever into your service and will…….Amen


It’s only Monday and I blew the week-end time of listening. Saturday was Debra’s 28th birthday she had to work and so did we so we put off her birthday plans until this evening. (Monday 23) We worked at the church building all day Saturday and had a huge group of guys pitch in so a lot of electrical and wood work got done. I spent the day rolling primer. I have swept a million miles of church building! On Friday Sharon Roberts helped with primer also it was a blessing to have her come and help. Harvey was a huge help to me! We started getting a staging area together for the doors to be built. It’s like a big puzzle you have to lay it all out and make sure you pair it all together like you cut it out. That takes a little planning. I am looking at painters being at the building sometime this week. We’ll be able to roll primer and get some more of the kitchen work done today. On Monday Night Ministry for March they will hang the first bank of cabinets. That means for me a lot of fast working. I better get a hoof in the finish work. There are a lot of them but only a few of us to do finish work! Not many are free during the day. Even Ricki now has grandbabies she is keeping so it fills her time as well. Donald will have some time this week he has been a huge help. Shirley and Teresa will work with me also Ann Young. We’ll get it done.

On a more somber note we saw one of our dear sister’s mother taken home on Sunday the 22nd of February. Her name was Gerri Lee and she was Janet Dolicki’s mother. She’d been in hospice care. A blessing she didn’t really know how ill she was. For Janet and Mark a time to claim an angel of their very own. How sweet to know that your parent rest in the caring hands of a loving God. Janet’s sister read us a poem that said God only takes the very best. May they all know God cares for the heartaches. We will keep them all in our prayers till this sad time walks by.

We went to see the theater production of “Legally Blond the Musical” last night (Sunday 22) at Hobby Center. We went with Clint and Elaine, Jeannine Harris, Roland and I. We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Café which is very noisy! Food was fair, a non-alcoholic drink in a Hard Rock glass set us back 8.95! It was more than my food! We should have asked before ordering. Anyway, we went with the Lee College bus for seniors and it was great! Beautiful clear view of the Houston sky line that you would never see driving your own car. Becky Gulsvig played the part of Elle Woods. She was really good. I will never be able to look at a UPS guy the same way again after seeing this play!! Ha Ha……
