My Simple Devotion





For Today...

Dear Lord,

I bring you my shortcomings...Lord, I am so moody these last two days! Please forgive me for being short and impatient with my family. I want to be gentle with my words and slow to anger as Your Word says...

I bring you my worship and praise... Father, You are such a great gift giver!! Thank You for my friend Mary's clean bill of health. Thank You for the beautiful sunshine and Your awesome creation all around me. You are faithful, Your mercies new every morning! You are gracious, kind and patient with me. I praise Your holy name!

I bring you my prayer...for the Turners, Lord! Please meet their every need as only You can. For my head and my moods, please heal them. And finally, for an addition to our family...that You would work out all the details. Thank You!!

You spoke to me...
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Hi Christine!
Thanks for your encouragement!! I love looking at your blog! You inspire me with your energy, devotion to your family and great ideas. I have also enjoyed looking at some of the other blogs you have listed...The Simple Woman has been such refreshment to my soul at this season in my life. Thank you for sharing that!

I was not talking about Brother Lee Turner...but the Kelly Turner family from Anchorage...

God bless you and your beautiful family this Christmas season with a treasure trove of new memories and simple moments of connecting with our Jesus!
