Several months ago, the Lord began to lay it on my heart to start sharing the thoughts He gives me in video form on our rarely used Homespun Ministries channel. Today, I uploaded a video that corresponds with this recent blog post on prayer, and I wanted to share it with anyone who may be interested in watching.
Lord willing, in addition to sharing the video chats, I will, as usual, still be writing here, as the Lord leads. It is absolutely impossible to believe I celebrated my 14th anniversary of blogging on October 1st! Time flies by so fast, and oh, how life has changed since the day I published that first post on October 1, 2011! I am so thankful to the Lord for sparing my family's and my lives to this point, and I pray He continues to do that and allows me to blog here for many more years to come, in Jesus' name.
I am also continuing to upload the readings from the book chapters of Biblical Minimalism as I have time and energy. Chapters one through nine are already uploaded, and I am working on chapter 10.
In case anyone missed this post, please pray for my dear friend, Marilyn's husband, Dan. He recently suffered a very serious heart attack and is unable to work. Linda Primmer at Life and Linda has graciously started a GoFundMe for Dan and Marilyn. They are currently at 83% of the fundraising goal. If you would kindly and prayerfully consider helping them during this difficult time, every donation is deeply appreciated.
I so appreciate all of you and your kindness for continuing to follow along with me here. May the Lord richly bless all of you, dear readers, and meet your every need.
God bless you dearest sis, in lifting your Sennacherib list, we press on the upward way new heights we are gaining day by day!
ReplyDeleteMay we view our list with our God's eternal eyes, and see the length, depth and breadth of how our great Father God is working in it.
Too often we walk in limited, finite ways upon this earth. Yet our Jesus saw with eternal eyes when He walked upon the earth, and indeed in John 17 in His intercession for us, we see clearly how He saw with an eternal vision.
Lord's richest blessing sis.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x 🙏🏻🤗

DeleteI went back and finished listening to the video -- I hadn't fully when I commented before. That was truly a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing about your Mom, grandfather and family and their prayers. My mom is really a person of prayer too and your memories made me think of her. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much for letting me know after you finished the video. Your comment really touched my heart. What a dear blessing it is that your mom is a woman of prayer! A praying mother is one of the most precious gifts and is invaluable. I'm so thankful to "meet" you! Many blessings to you today, in Jesus' name!

Thank you so very much for your precious, encouraging words, dear Valentine. Yes! All glory to the Lord! I'm so very thankful for His mercies to me and for allowing me to blog all these years. And for my Godly legacy, indeed. My heart overflows with gratitude to our dear Lord and Savior. Sending much love back to you and your family, dear friend.
DeleteGood morning, Cheryl! I needed to hear this. I do throw it on Jesus and boldly ask, seek and knock, but I do get discouraged at times. Please add Mike to your list as things are not working out right now.
ReplyDeleteYour video was beautiful and I agree about Fall being such a special time.
I continue to pray for you and your family as you are always on my list. Prayers be with you.
Dear Kitty, I am so thankful this ministered to you. Yes! I surely get discouraged sometimes, too, and I completely understand. I want you to know I am praying for you and for Mike and am so sorry to hear this. I know how hard you pray and the concern you carry, dear friend. Jesus knows, too. He sees you. He hears you. He feels what you feel. Thank you so much for your kind words. You will never know how much it means to me that you faithfully, consistently pray for my family and me. I love and appreciate you.
DeletePray for Gaza, first those poor folks were bombed by tons of bombs, starved, drone strikes, killed by snipers while in food lines. Shame on the world for enabling this, a divine intersession is needed since humanity has failed.
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on all who suffer and mourn. He is our only hope!
DeleteDear Cheryl, how lovely to have this little visit with you this morning. It's almost like in person. Thanksgiving blessings to you and your dear family. May God continue to prosper the work of your heart and your hands.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet friend! I appreciate you so much! I hope you and Tim and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was so abundantly blessed, all glory to Jesus.

DeleteDear Cheryl, such a heartwarming post. A beautiful video about devotion. You have a heart of gold. Wishing you and your family a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving. I appreciate the shout out.

Delete14 years is quite the milestone! Congratulations on keeping on with blogging!
ReplyDeleteYes! It surely is an accomplishment! And ALL glory goes to Jesus. It is ALL Him. Thanks!
DeleteCheryl, A Long-ago voice from the past checking in to say I'm SO glad to see you're still blogging, and so prolifically, too! I was reminiscing on LAWN TEA after such a long time away, and in March, 2016, you had written the sweetest note, back when we wrote back and forth often, and I just HAD to see that you were still here. I confess a LONG time away, with losses and sicknesses and just no great will to write much, but here I am, back and getting ready for Christmas, and finding YOU still out there is a great gift, unexpected lagniappe to my reconnecting.
ReplyDeleteWe're still here, and I hope you the best and most wonderful Christmas and Joy in the coming New Year. Great wishes of joyful days in this Blessed Season. racheld
