Coffee and Tea with Me

Today marks 11 years since Micah died and went to be with the Lord. He awoke in the presence of the Lord. Some of the scriptures I prayed for Micah when he was sick were: Ps 3:5 I lay down and slept; I awake, for the LORD sustained me. Ps 4:8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Ps. 5:3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. Each night when Micah went to sleep he and I were more conscious of the fact that it is the LORD who gives him sleep and peace. It is the LORD who woke him and sustained him. It was only because of Jesus that when Micah was dying of cancer that he could have peace at night knowing that the Lord heard his cry and the LORD was his peace and only in Him alone could Micah dwell in safety. So Micah trusted in the Lord and directed his prayers to the Lord . He looked up to Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith, at nigh...

So Much, So Much, So Much, to be Thankful For Even though my dear friend Princess Ruby is with the Lord, singing and rejoicing, I can still hear her singing,"We have so much, so much, so much, to be thankful for!” Sometimes we forget that.

Sometimes we get our eyes on people who seem bigger than they should be and have a control over us, because we have put hope in them. Sometimes we get our eyes on our hopes and dreams and how life did not turn out the way we had thought it would. Sometimes we get our eyes on politics and begin to be deceived into thinking it would save us. There is so much turmoil, fighting, struggle, rebellion, revolting, rejection and hurt in this world. This is always true. More than ever I see that there are a lot of hurting people with no hope, no direction, no confiden...

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Tim 6:6-12 Being content with who we are begins with knowing first how corrupt, totally depraved, guilty and condemned we really are. This leads us to our one and only Savior...
