Time Flies............

Wow.  I am amazed at how quickly Summer is turning to Fall.....It is only the middle of August, but we woke to another morning of "that" crisp chill in the air that defines the New England season. 

This summer has been quite different then others.  My Mom's medical needs have increased dramatically and I am now committed to 3-5 hours a day to help . 

 It feels like summer has gone by so quickly and with so many changes we have not been able to do some of the things that we usually do. So we are looking forward with great anticipation going to our summer camp for the weekend :)

Looking forward to the quietness , the sizzle of a steak on the grill, saying  hello to old friends. 
Simple but wonderful....Life is Good, Live simply , Live Well .

Ro:15:13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Blessings, Ella

 

God is Faithful

My Mom's cognitive functions have diminshed over the past several months to the point of very few and rare conversations.  Yesterday my Aunt came in to the city to do Mom's hair for her,  and she seemed to enjoy that. 
The Lord has given me strength and assurances my Mom is sealed for "that day"......

She has always been a Godly example and opened her house to many , given to the needs of others first, fed the hungry......  Just a precious saintly Woman of God.

Even though I know without a doubt she has salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ,  today seemed like a difficult visit with her , for me emotionally.

 I re-play conversations we have had, the millions of times she prayed for me and over me, her wise Godly counsel.............they enemy was having a field day with my emotions and I was caving.

 Then out of my Mom's mouth these words of comfort inspired from the Holy Spirit.

Ella, I Love God......................    I looked right into her eyes and saw ....."Mom".....I squeesed her hand tightly and said " And, He love you too Mom"......   Those four seemingly little words were a whole conversation to me today.    I thank you Lord Jesus for your love for my Mom and for me......


Thank you Lord for your Love............
2Th:3:5: And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Rainy Days

They are ok :).......They seem to quiet my spirit and allow me to get still before the Lord.  I like that.  I'm finding the Lord wooing me into His presence and I am so thankful that He loves me like that .  Always wanting time for me , never to busy to have a conversation.  The other day in a time of prayer and fasting , I found a faded legal pad with these words written on them from over a year ago........

I Love You Lord.....and I lift my voice.....to worship you...Oh my Soul.....Rejoice .
Take Joy my King........In what you hear......Let it be a sweet, sweet, sound in your ear.....

I held it to my chest like finding a note or card I had given to my husband....  Totally experiencing being soooooo full of Love for my Lord.......I was so amazed how much He loves me , warm ....not sad tears fell from my eyes.....as I was overome with thankfulness to the One who loves me like no other.

I know the "finding" of these words had some prophectic meaning for the two young men I was praying for as well. Although I don't know what it was for them, it is not important.  God does. 

The Lord always surprises me in our ministering to the needs of others , God will often show up with a special touch for us as well ..... 

I Love You Lord .....................


In His Love & Service, Ella

 

Waiting for Another Winter Weather Maker

We were having a pretty mild winter here in the North East , until February that is.......  Watching the snow fall this morning with the anticipation of 6-12 inches of heavy wet snow......

Thirteen days till Spring..............

Isa:1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

I'm Back

Hoping to usher in Spring 2013 with all of you.  I have missed blogging and sharing here.  Wishing all who would still see my posts a blessed and beautiful day.
