Monday Morning Blessings

Here it is Monday already; where does the weekend go? All my plans for activities this weekend didn't materialize so I have no photos to show you of the river. On Friday we got busy putting rocks down in a small area in order to prevent weeds-so much for the river. I had a good weekend though as we spent time with our friends Saturday evening, with lots of incredible food and playing our favorite dice game. Sunday we spent the good part of the day at our youngest daughters home prepping their house to paint. It seems to be the year for painting.
In the afternoon a dear friend from California called me; we haven't talked for over two years. There are some friends that when you are apart from the relationship just dwindles but this gal and I picked up right where we left. She is very close to my heart and I pray this is the beginning of reconnecting with her.
In today's christian world many do not believe our God is able to work miracles-any miracles and that those were for the old testament church. Many don't believe that the Spirit is alive and still working in the lives of others. As a young christian I attended a church like this; they felt that all the Spirits work was for biblical times, not today. I can remember saying "Don't box my God in; what was possible then is still possible". I don't know what you might be facing in your life but I'm here to tell you that the Lord still works and delights to work in the lives of His children. The verse I've been holding near and dear to my heart lately is:
"I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will stengthen thine heart. Wait I say on the Lord". Ps 27:13-14 KJV.
Right now I'm believing that my God is going to work a miracle in a certain situation. How about you? Need a current day miracle....believe with me.
Blessings, Noreen

  2. Oh goodness. You're going to paint another house...We would do the same for our daughter!
    I'm looking forward to river photos if that works out for you.
    I forget if I have mentioned my montanaprairiemom Facebook page to you. I post an ornament one day and alternate with a photo from our region the next, often a barn.
    May God bring the miracle you seek in the situation you mentioned.
    Of course I believe in miracles. My preemie son was a miracle!
    Have a blessed week, dear. ....................Denise

  3. Ohhh Noreen ... This was so needed today.
    My hubby and I know full well that God's Holy Spirit still moves and works and ministers to God's people today. God hasn't changed. His heart for us hasn't changed. He hasn't fallen off the throne. And His power hasn't diminished.
    And yeah. My husband and I are praying and believing for a miracle here too. We'll be agreeing and believing with you my dear friend!

  7. Too many good things happen in seemingly impossible situations not to believe in miracles.

  9. Hi! Noreen, Oh! yes our God is a miracle working God! and I too am believing a miracle for the situation that is taking place in our family, I just told my son today that he is not to claim anything but good over his attack that has come on him! Just a few weeks ago with our other son the Lord blessed him with his victory! I refuse to believe any thing but victory over this son!! Loved this verse today! Have a Blessed Week:).
