In reply to Danita Bussey.

It has been impressed on my heart the last few months the concept of how important prayer is in everything. Small things and big things and things in between.

Intercessory prayer is such a gift. I’ve also felt compelled to the importance of asking for prayer from others. You may feel it is the best you can give, but I think it is the best of all. I can do an action for someone and it can be more about me looking good than because of my heart for that person. When I pray for someone, I am wholeheartedly caring about their situation.

There are times when I am disgruntled about my housework that needs done and I think of you and I know you would gladly go about the tasks of home and I readjust my attitude. You are an inspiration and God does use you to bless others.

In reply to Mrs. K. I've been working on a Bible study and the heart of it is (very much in my own words) how much it is God in everything we do and in our relationship with Him in comparison to it being anything we do. He saved us and He seeks to have a relationship with us. It has made me reflect so much on how hard I try when I really need to rest and rely. It is hard to wrestle around the difference in my mind completely. :)

In reply to Beth.

I’ve been blessed so many times by kindnesses and friendships.

I was actually reflecting on someone who is hard to do things for when I wrote this. 🙂

This post encouraged me, Deborah! It is hard to always be on the receiving end, but, I must realize that this is the plan God has for me. I pray that I might be a channel of God’s blessing flowing through me to bless others. My giving to others is often in the form of intercessory prayer, and though sometimes that doesn’t seem like much, really it is the best I can give.

So true. Through sad circumstances our family has been the receiver of much generousity. God’s blessings, particularly through the hands of others, just astound me. And when we whisper “I am NOT worthy”, He replies “I know”.
