His timing is always perfect, and His rewards sweet, if not in this life then always in the next.

The woman who suffered bleeding (Luke 8:43-48) suffered for twelve years before she was healed.<br />Meanwhile, I have found that my wife's ailment to be a basis for character building, and rather than turning away from God in resentment to unanswered prayer, rather our present situation as drawn us closer to him, knowing that he is the strong tower, a fortress, and a refuge for every believer to run to.<br />An excellent post. God bless.<br />Frank E.

May we learn, like Mary, to let God know our concerns, but then let him decide what needs to be done instead of, like many teach today, demanding our way. After all, as you point out, he is God and he knows far better than we do what needs to be done.

Thank you so much for your lovely co...Dear Cheryl, <br />Thank you so much for your lovely comment and kind words! Praise God that He cares for all our needs -- the major ones of eternal significance, like salvation, and even the minor ones we face every day, like giving us the provisions to show hospitality to others. <br /><br />Thank you also for the Lord's Day wishes -- so far, it has indeed been wonderful, God showing His faithfulness by relieving my pain of a tooth infection long enough to teach my ladies' Bible study and sing a special in church!<br /><br />Many blessings and much love to you and your precious family,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-74320787122348548382016-04-09T20:30:07.401-07:002016-04-09T20:30:07.401-07:00I love the thoughts you shared here about our dear...I love the thoughts you shared here about our dear Lord. Oh, I do love Him and appreciate all He has done for me! I especially loved how you highlighted the fact that He saved the day for this wedding host. I never thought of it that way. Thank you for being so faithful to God's call upon your life. May He bless you with a wonderful Lord's Day tomorrow! Sending you much love, sweet friend.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.com
