Just a Daisy in the Meadow
I'm a busy, young mom with children ages 6,5(David & Daisy, and Jewel are "forever young" in heaven),4,3,2 and baby. I love my husband dearly who wooed my heart while I was in bad health. I've had cancer twice now, but God has graciouly renewed my strength. He's given me grace for each new day and trial here.

I’ve started memorizing some again. Right now I’m working on Titus. Ya never know when this will come in handy! Maybe someday in prison for my faith, I’ll look back to these days and “Praise the Lord!!!” for each nugget of “gold” I was able to store away. Or maybe I will become blind . . .
But hey, it’s not just for these maybes.
Several weeks ago, Japheth and I were heading to Duluth for a quilt\sewing machine show. You know how it goes trying to get the children ready for a babysitter, eat breakfast and pack for the day etc. Anyway that morning neither of us had our devotions. (Ok, I know we should’ve done that before hopping out of bed, but here’s my lame excuse. I got up earlier than I thought I needed to feed Jaden and from there on it wasn’t a minute to spare from the others waking up and needing me for this or that. Actually, neither of us had time to sit down and eat either.) We weren’t very far along on our journey, when I wished for my Bible. Not having put one in the vehicle, I suggested that Japheth recite something for me and I for him. It was a sweet way on that date to share devotional time together.
And then this morning . . . Do you have a problem with your children getting up too early? Anyway we decided to stay in bed for our devotions rather than have the boys hear us get up and us have to tell them to stay in bed till seven (Sometimes we set the alarm so that they know when they may get up.) But our Bibles were still downstairs . . . So once again we recited Scripture for each other.
One problem . . . if this gets to be a regular habit I will have to be on the go constantly memorizing . . . Well, maybe that would be good!
Anyway a phrase from Titus . . .
“They profess that they know God,
But in works deny Him . . .”
Yeah, God speaks to my heart about preparation for our trip . . . all the fretting, and worrying about getting everything done that needs to be done, and dreading the ride in, and back!
“Fret not, He’s watching over you,
The Lord will see you through.
You’re sure to stand the test . . .
Commit
and Trust
Delight
and Rest . . . “
Psalm 37 says so much . . .
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord
And He delighteth in his way.
Though he fall he shall not be cast down;
For the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.”
