Field Day Expectations

Circumstances seem overwhelming . . . or is it just my high expectations and deep desires for the day? I was hoping for enjoying field day with Japheth by my side and lots of help with the children . . . but Japheth got a call from a lady who desperately needs her sewing machine fixed right away so he’s going in early this morning to do that and yesterday I found out that he is helping direct the shot-puts, the high jump and maybe more if Daddy is still sick

.  . . . So after shedding a few tears and meditating on God’s Word,  I’ve been challenged by these thoughts:

Will I find enough grace for today . . .and tomorrow?  Will God find his grace in me?

“Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord”  Genesis 6:8

And the Lord said unto Moses, “I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken;  for thou hast found grace in my sight.”

“Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly (depressed in mind or circumstances).”   Proverbs 3:34

1”And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.”  John 1:16

“ . . .Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.”  Acts 13:43

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

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.”  Philippians 4:23

May He be your strength in a real way today. 2 Cor. 12:9-10.
"Jesus, Be the Center"
Jesus be the center
Be my source, be my light, Jesus
Jesus, be the center
Be my hope, be my song, Jesus

Be the fire in my heart
Be the wind in these sails
Be the reason that I live
Jesus, Jesus

Jesus, be my vision
Be my power, be my guide, Jesus
