Today is Mother’s Day. I had a great day. I did not have time to do my Sunday night Skool. 😃 Thank you to my children and my husband for giving me a very nice day. Thank you to my Heavenly Father who knew exactly the right little souls to give to me to be their mother. He knows which children to give to what moms. Mothers teach their children things and children teach us things too. God knows how to match us. ❤️ I have three wonderful sons and a wonderful daughter. I am so blessed.

We need to thank our Father for His mercy and justice. We to ask Him for help trusting even when we don’t see quick change or clear results. We need to pray for healing where there is brokenness in our life and in our community, according to His wisdom and timing. Ask for guidance to live in His righteousness, and strength to reflect His love in this hurting world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, thank You for the promise that when I live according to Your ways—showing mercy, seeking justice—my light will break forth like the dawn. Bring healing to the broken places in my life and in my community. Guide me with Your righteousness and protect me with Your glory. Help me to be a reflection of Your love and justice in a hurting world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It’s Monday. I didn’t post yesterday because there was a fire 🔥 A man about a tenth of a mile away started a camp fire. A fire on a windy day near two foot tall dry grass and cedar trees are everywhere. Fire trucks from all over the county, raced past our farm and our scared animals. Smoke filled the air, lingering in the thick cedar trees. The 40 mile an hour wind gusts grabbed the wind, pushing it our way. I stood there helpless with a garden hose in my hand. The goats and sheep were screaming so loud I could barely hear the fire truck sirens that were still coming from the nearby volunteer stations. My husband raced there with our skid steer to help if needed. I stayed home. I prayed. I threw my hand out to the sky and screamed at the wind and the fire “in Jesus name stop! If it be Gods will!”. I cried a tear or two and then I believed everything would be good. No matter what. Even if the wind didn’t stop blowing or the fire kept raging. I prayed and I believed Gods will would be done. I would accept any out come. The wind didn’t slow too much but the fire was contained thanks to all of the firefighters. The man who started the fire lost his car and shelter. My husband and I decided to ask if the man needed help. He did not. His family came to get him out of there. My husband talked to a family member who is a volunteer firefighter last night. He is now joining the volunteer fire department. It seems my prayers for the fire to stop were answered pretty quickly. What if… If the fire had raged into our farm, today’s message would be Gods will is being done. The thing is, I wouldn’t know what his will was. We always have to be ready for the possibility that our lives could turn upside down. We have to still be able to rest in Him knowing that we prayed for His will be done. We rest and we wait. We praise Him and trust in Him. Be patient. Heavenly Father, we ask for your will be done in that man who lost his belongings last night. We ask that this fire transforms his situation into something wonderful that shows your glory in his life. I also ask that your will be done in all our lives and that you use us for your glory. We praise you and bless your holy name. In Jesus name,
