May 2014 - FB Postings

I guess I took a little break or should I say a big one.  Just thought I'd continue my diary from FB posts as that is where I have done my postings.  I'll start where I left off which was May.  So here goes:

"In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God."- Psalm 62:7
Before I lost Mark, I could only imagine what someone was going through when they lost someone dear to them but now I can feel for them and know what the loss really feels like. When you know that special one is in Heaven, it does make it easier to bear. However, when you no longer have them by your side to do all the things you were so used to doing with them, it does make quite the void, to say the least. Keeping busy helps which I've been doing but he's still always right there on my mind. I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father who is watching over me and taking care of me. He has given me comfort and peace beyond measure.-"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." II Cor. 1:3-4

I am so blessed to have my mother and mother in love still with us! I'm thankful for their love, prayers and guidance for us throughout the many years. Thankful, too, for my sweet daughter and daughter in love who are wonderful mothers and bringing up our precious grandchildren in the Lord! I had a wonderful day but missed hubby, of course. A mixed feeling regarding him today - wishing he was here but rejoicing he's with Jesus. It's been a busy day so now I can finally say on FB- Happy Mother's Day to all my family and friends who are mothers! Blessings to you all.

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may REST from their labours; and their works do follow them."--------It's been 8 weeks today and this verse gave great comfort that Mark is sweetly resting with our Saviour.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." - Isaiah 26:3

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phil. 4:13.... Thank you, dear Jesus, for your continued strength to me each day.

I heard this song today as I was out driving and what a blessing it was to me. I thought I would share a couple of verses and the chorus.
"My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me"
I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land or on the rolling sea,
For, come what may, from day to day,
My heav'nly Father watches over me.

Chorus
I trust in God, I know He cares for me,
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Tho' billows roll, He keeps my soul,
My heavn'ly Father watches over me.
The valley may be dark, the shadows deep
But O, The Shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And thru the gloom, He'll lead me home
My heav'nly Father watches over me.
Thank you dear Father for Your love and care for me and how You are always there watching out for me and I'm never alone.

A very special thanks to those who gave their lives for serving our country and we wish to thank those who have served and are currently serving.
"O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him."-Psalms 34:8
