I really am blessed abundantly. God is so very gracious to me and since I know the Grace He had to extend to me to call me His own. I know the abundance it took!

When I think about conversations with the Saints of Old in Heaven, my desire s are to sit down with Mrs Noah and ask her how she managed to do everything right for her husband? When the wole world was talking evil about the man she loves how did she handle it ? When your husband says I am inviting a few thousnad animals for "Thanksgiving" and they wil be with us for a year, how did you handle that too? And I know she had to be the best Mother-in-law in all creation, because her daughter-in-laws actually got on the ark. Lot's son-in-laws didn't go with him! So I figure she had to do it all rightly because if she hadn't we would have read about her in the scriptures. Just look at Job's wife, she goes through all the same traumas her husband does (because being one flesh means your beloved's trial is also YOUR trial) and yet we do not hear about the mourning of her heart until she looks at her husband and says "Curse God and Die!" Thus the reason I believe Mrs. Noah did it all right and I can hardly wait to discuss it over a cup of tea.

Why? Because I KNOW holding my tongue is not my gift! There is a scripture in Proverbs that says, I have set a guard over your lips. (bubbe paraphrase) and being a military wife, I see ha soldier rifle in hand standing guard over my lips and the next thing you know.....I have flatten the poor dude with my Tank! Thankfully teh Lord has a lot of guards and quiets my heart so well.

The Lord has gifted me with you amazing women in my life. I am so blessed to call you friend. Your prayers. love and fellowship have truly been felt as we dealt with Lynda's passing. You encourage me with the Word of the Lord and the Hope of the Kingdom to come. You always encourage me so much.
