A Time for Prayer

After a few days of bitter cold here in Florida, it was so nice to have a spring-like day in the mid 70's today!
I haven't posted in quite a number of days, as I've been in prayer many hours of my days, for my precious son and others who are going through some trials that needed some serious time before the Lord.
Sometimes when in intercessory prayer, one feels the burden that the ones they love and are praying for are feeling. No different than any other kind of warfare as we know it, spiritual warfare does take its physical toll, but worth every minute of it when you finally get a break through and the peace of the Lord for that situation.
Thanks to all my friends who have been in prayer not only for my son, but for me to have the physical and spiritual strength as I went before the Lord with prayers and petitions.
I was also very blessed today to have a dear friend ask me for guidance in teaching a women's Bible study in her church. As soon as she sent the request, I knew immediately what to send to her - a study I'd done on my own some time ago when I was going through a rough time and needed to know "I'm somebody". The title I gave to that teaching that the Lord took me through was called, "I'm God's Treasured Possession" - something we all need to know without any uncertainty! I pray that she's able to use what I gave to her, and that many women will find their place and know who they are in Christ.
I pray you are having a wonderful weekend!

Friendship

Last night I got to get together with a few friends that I've known since childhood, and just got to thinking how blessed I am that I grew up in a small town, where everybody knew everybody, and was able to make such close connections.
My friend Kelly, whom I haven't seen since we graduated HS wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in time, had come into town, and it was just so awesome to see her! When I say she hasn't changed one bit since HS, I am not exaggerating!
Of course, my camera wasn't working for some unknown reason, but when my other friend Susan emails me the ones she took, I'll post them in here.

Cherish the friendships that God has given you - take the time to let the people in your life know how important they are to you....we're only here on this earth for a short time, and we all need to slow down some, and take the time to enjoy the ride - relish every minute.........

Have a great Tuesday..
