Another Day... Thank God for His Goodness and His Love!

The words of my last posting have meant so much more to me this week than I would have imagined. On Tuesday my Dad's cousin's wife Dorothy passed away (her husband died in 2002). On Thursday I found out the father of my best friend when I was growing up passed away the previous Friday. Then I received an email that an older friend that I haven't seen in about 20 years passed away on Thursday.

While attempting to let my aunt know about Dorothy, she told me that my uncle who just celebrated his 80th birthday has kidney failure and has refused dialysis. The doctor doesn't recommend dialysis because he said he is not sure my uncle's body is strong enough. We visited Uncle Del today. He knew who we are, but he was very tired. Please keep him and the family in your prayers.

I have been trying to be diligent to read first thing in the morning for about 5 months now. Before that, sometimes days would go by before I remembered to read. Then in May I went to a Christian Women's Day in Indianapolis. I got so blessed by the teachings - it was incredible!

One reason I read the Bible every morning is so that the Word is fresh in my mind every day. Recently I failed to read my bible the first thing in the morning. Later in the day things started bothering me. Then I remembered that I hadn't read. I stopped what I was doing, went to my room, and read. What a difference it made!

Tomorrow is a new day wherein we can praise God for His loving-kindness and tender mercies. Let's endeavor to keep God first in our hearts and in our minds and live the kind of life that God desires for us.

Remember to be thankful for God's goodness and God's love! God Bless You :)
