Let Your Faith Be Bigger Than Your Fear


Let your faith be bigger than your fear is something I often see on plaques, shirts, coffee cups, candles, and so much more. These words encourage us in whatever we might be going through to let our faith override our fears. 

To add further encouragement, we can hold on to this Bible verse:
So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” Hebrews 13:6

Reflections On The Sixth Anniversary On The Loss Of My Husband, Paul


My beloved husband, Paul, passed away on this day six years ago. Please know my heart; I'm not here to seek sympathy; I just wanted to reflect on his importance in my life. We cared deeply for one another, and the Lord blessed us with four exceptional children. He worked hard to provide for our family and loved us in his "rough around the edges" way. 
His laugh made others laugh. If a car or truck needed repair, Paul was the one many would bring to get their vehicle fixed in his garage.
The anniversary is one day of many that I miss him. That's ok because this shows the love I will always have for him. Grief is a part of my life, as it is for many of you. With prayer and support from family and friends, we find a way to keep moving forward and yet not forget our lost loved ones.
Wherever you might be in your journey through grief, may you find comfort in your memories and know a Heavenly Father cares for you.  
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7)

With love,
Patty

God's Banner Of Love



In February, the focus is Valentine's Day, when we let our family and friends know how much we love them. Do you do anything special for Valentine's Day? Feel free to comment below; I would enjoy hearing from you.
The song "His Banner Over Me Is Love" is a reminder and comfort that God loves us daily and of His banner of love. Today, I would like to share the lyrics to this song:

~His Banner Over Love Me Is Love~
The Lord is mine, and I am His
His banner over me is love
The Lord is mine, and I am His
His banner over me is love
The Lord is mine, and I am His
His banner over me is love
His banner over me is love!
He brought me to His banqueting table
His banner over me is love
He brought me to His banqueting table
His banner over me is love
He brought me to His banqueting table
His banner over me is love
His banner over me is love!
He is the vine, and we are the branches
His banner over me is love
He is the vine, and we are the branches
His banner over me is love
He is the vine, and we are the branches
His banner over me is love
His banner over me is love!
Jesus is the rock of my salvation
His banner over me is love
Jesus is the rock of my salvation
His banner over me is love
Jesus is the rock of my salvation
His banner over me is love
His banner over me is love!

Resting In God's Promises (A Monthly Series #29)


Resting in God's promises is an ongoing project, and the introduction can be found in this post: God's Promises.

God's Promise-Our strength will be renewed:
"But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)

Do you ever feel weak and weary? I have at times in my life. When we trust the Lord, we will find new strength to endure. 

Let us pray together,
Dear Heavenly Father,
We are thankful that Your promises are something we can hold onto. When we feel weak and weary, help us to remember that You will give us new strength to endure as we journey through our lives.

In Jesus' name, we pray,

Amen
