"Christian perfection is the perfection of a relationship to God which shows itself amid the irrelevances of human life...I am called to live in perfect relation to God so that my life produces a longing after God in other lives, not admiration for myself." Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest What or Who are you living today? If all your prayers were answered today, who or what would benefit from those prayers. May He increase and I decrease. Have a blessed day.

The phone ringing was so loud I jumped up from a deep sleep to answer. It was 5 a.m. this morning. I moved quickly to retrieve my cell phone that was on charge at the foot of my bed. I picked it up to be amazed that it had NOT RANG. I was extremely confused. That sound of the ringing phone was so real. I mused the fact as I lay back down in my bed. "Lord, was that a call from you to pray about something?" But, the something did not come to mind. I did pray and listen for His voice. Do you think the Lord awakens you to pray? I do. Listen closely, daily and momentarily because He may be calling you to Himself to pray.

TRUTH: What is Truth? Several of my devotions today admonished me to believe and seek Truth. What is the Truth today? From all sides we have people telling us the "Truth." Is it Truth though? Where do we really find Truth? Sorry to say it is not in our culture today where there are lies, distrust, ungodly leaders and propaganda pushing ungodly agendas.

Truth is found in a person, Jesus Christ and the written Word, the Bible. Here are a few Scriptures for you to read: John 16:13, I Tim. 2:4-6, John 8: 31,32, John 14:6 and John 17:17 and many more. Are you seeking Truth. You can know Truth in accepting and believing in Jesus and who He said He was and is. There is only one Truth.

Summer is passing quickly by us. I pray you have enjoyed your family and free time. I wish we could say great things are happening in our country but it is a sad time in a way because of all the discord and sin in our country. Are you praying for our country? God moves when we pray. We have seen God move in a few miraculous ways over the last week. We, as believers, need to be praying protection for our family, God's people, as well as for the lost and disillusioned people in our churches and country. If you are not praying for your family, who do you think is? Pray for peace for all; pray for the Prince of Peace to be real in all of our lives.

Greetings to all my family and friends. This will be my first Facebook Newsletter. Let me know what you think!

The last two years have been the hardest of my 75 years. After Don transitioned to his heavenly home in 2022, my thoughts were to survive and learn to live as a "me" instead of a "we!" That proved to be hard for me. You cannot unlearn or unlive nearly 56 years of marriage with your particular person and NOT have a hard time, especially if your love was real and deep. I made it through by planning several international mission trips to keep me busy and occupied for the Lord.

In the latter part of April into May 2023, I traveled to Guatemala with my church, West Ridge, on a mission trip. It was a great trip, but things happened on that trip that altered my next year and a half. I came home with leg issues after a strenuous truck ride to a village up the mountain several times.

Upon arrival home, the doctor appointments began, and several international mission trips were declined. I did choose various options that might have helped with the pain, but they did not correct anything or alleviate the pain. The final diagnosis was the need for both hips to be replaced. The first replacement for the left hip was on January 24th, 2024, and the second, the left hip, was on April 26th. I am rehabbing one day a week outside my home and every day or two at home. (The pool every chance I can!) My mobility is progressing great, and I haven't had pain in either leg since their operations.

What have these two-plus years taught me? In several words, I will try to share what I have learned. I have learned that I have a God who promised never to leave or forsake me. I am coming to appreciate His suffering for me more than I ever imagined. For over a year, I was in excruciating pain in both legs, barely walking and sleeping. I watched The Passion of the Christ again in April, close to Easter. I was a wreck, uncontrollably crying as they portrayed Jesus' beating. His beaten, bloody body in the crucifixion scene brought it home to me, personally, how much He suffered for ME. I still weep when I think of it.

My question to you, as I close this newsletter, HAVE YOU THOUGHT HOW MUCH JESUS SUFFERED IN HIS FLESH SO HE COULD RECONCILE YOU AND TO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER/CREATOR?

Think about it and connect with me if you want to communicate. I will love to know if you have read this newsletter. Look for one a month!
