WAVES AND SHADOWS July 29, 2024

November 13, 2021


"When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me."  Psalm 63:6-8 NASB


"Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song. And He has become my salvation."  Psalm 34:18 NASB

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:28 NASB

"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them."  Psalm 34:7 NASB

"The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry."  Psalm 34:15 NASB


There are days when the words just don't come. But I can always let You speak through Your word directly to those emotional times that leave me speechless.

I made it through today without the internal melt down, the uncontrollable tears. 

Bless Gea and Mandy. Give them peace and comfort.

I love you, Lord. Thank you for saving me, now and for eternity.

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3  NKJV

"The memory of the righteous is blessed..."  Proverbs 10:7 NASB

My memories of BW will be my constant companion.  Please, Lord, allow me to be really good at remembering. Please tell BW how much I love and miss him.

You brought my friend Mary LaFrance for a visit today, all the way from Washougal, WA, by way of Joplin where she was visiting her sister. She does speak with wisdom that I need to hear. She helps me laugh. She prays with the words I can't speak. She loves the friendship of our family, and we are blessed by welcoming her. 

Highland Baptist where Ken and Mandy attend had a family dinner tonight. Mandy, Ken and the boys, Ella (her husband was our pastor for 13 years), Mary and others made for a sweet time of fellowship. It brought us through another day.

I praise You for all good things and for the hope we have in our eternal home that surely can't be too far away from us. Please draw our loved ones and give me wisdom for how and when to share Your gospel message with them.


God, You are good because Your Holy Spirit speaks for us when we are unable to speak for ourselves and because we can always seek Your comfort through Your very Word. And because you bring special surprise visits from "angels unaware."
