This is the hardest part of my day. I try to thank the Lord for the new day but often time I struggle to even open up my eyes let alone get out of bed, get ready for work and find time to pray.

Just seeing the picture was an encouragement to me. Your questions were convicting and ones I will be asking myself this week.

We’ve created our perfect nest lined with beautiful things, content until something threatens our earthly trappings. While we shriek about superficial terror, we often hit the snooze button when it comes to spiritual threats."<br />God really does speak to us through nature. Thanks for sharing this on B&BB. I'm praying you'll have a blessed week and I pray for Karen, Ava, Courtney, TC’s father-in-law, and Piper as they struggle with health and employment issues and ask God to speak peace into each situation and each heart.Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-7074428119677552652012-06-06T16:52:07.926-04:002012-06-06T16:52:07.926-04:00You're welcome, Betty.
