GOD IS IN CONTROL

What a crazy time we are living in right now, don't you agree?
This Covid-19 virus is terrorizing the world.
Schools are closed.
Government offices are closed.
Many "non-essential" businesses are closed.
Even some churches have shut their doors.
Curfews are in place.
Quarantines abound.
Just today 25 people were laid off from my husband's place of employment.

Through it all, God's Word says that there is nothing new under the sun.
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever and that should be a comfort to us.

Philippians 4:6-7 says
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19 says
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

1 Peter 4:12-13
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Luke 21:25-28
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I could go on and on..during this time of fear and uncertainty--LOOK UP
God is in control.




TAKIN' A TRIP (PART 2)

I'm sorry to say that this post has been a draft for quite a very long time. 
This was back in May almost a year ago, when we went traveling to KY.
We stayed with some lovely friends who graciously opened their home to us for two nights.
They have their own private lake which we were able to enjoy.






Games with new friends!




More lake pictures..
















Leaving Monday morning..
trying to get a group shot before we hit the road.










Thanks so much for opening your home to us!
It was nice to catch up and meet the kiddies.
