On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Emilie



Today I got news that a lady from our church died. A lady I knew. She was quite old, bent over, and I know we all have to die, but for some reason her death hit me hard. Harder than my friend Gina who I spoke with every week and loved. Or maybe I can pretend to be strong when someone is close but then I fall apart when it is someone I don’t know as well. I’ve always been backwards.

Anyway I’m all mad. I mean quite angry. I heard this little voice reminding me that this is always the first way I react. Anger is my go to emotion when I’m hurt. I need to work on this. Actually I need to allow the Holy Spirit to work on that within me. 

I know Emilie is in bliss. She is with our Lord. 

Death sucks though. Now we have to miss seeing her and her smile and her voice. She lit up a room.  Life may have bent her physically but her spirit was all light.

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
  • God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
  • God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
  • God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
  • God please guide the leaders of the world.
  • God please heal my children.
