One of my dear blog friends who's a fellow Believer has blessed us with a poem she wrote some years ago. We were discussing this week's topic - obedience and this is what she provided for us along the theme. Valinda is a fellow scrapbooker too, and this is the layout she made to go along with the poem.
If you knew my Father
And the love he has for you,
You would not question him
Or the things that he might do.
He has only good intentions
so that you are truly blessed,
He wants to have you with him
where there is peace and rest.
The things that happen here,
you may not understand.
There are struggles left and right,
But he has the upper hand.
He's always there to help you,
even though you may not call.
His guiding hand will lead you
so that you will never fall.
With your faith and trust in him,
it can be a wonderful thing.
Who knows all the mighty works,
that trust in him might bring?
He said that he is with you,
and he will carry you through.
He is our loving Father,
and he really cares for you.

Unfortunately I had a VERY busy week and did not get time to phone around for prayer requests. But, Kaye did phone me to share the following thought!
Kaye wanted to share that she recently experienced that she was "flying in the Spirit" - something I am unfamiliar with, but basically she 'saw' a sweeping flyover in her mind of a flight over the vast forests and land. What her interpretation of this vision was the Lord's hand over our country. Kaye has been in serious prayer for Canada and believes the trees represent the Great Army our Lord is raising up in our Land - HIS army of righteousness.
Lets all pray alongside Kaye for this beautiful country we are blessed to live in, that God would keep us free - and we would use our freedom to help others who do not have this choice.
I'd like to share a photo I took on the way home from camping last Friday - how can we not see God in the sheer beauty of a scene like this? Also, please pray for my father in law as he's recovering from surgery for his knee. Thank you!
