Be Still
When troubles come into your life and you’re not sure what to do, where to turn, and who to run to …
When the eye of the storm is coming right for you …
As the world spins out of control at times around you …
Just be still …
Be still and know that He is God.
Say it with me …
“BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD!”
He will never leave you nor forsake you.
TRUST it … BELIEVE it …
Tuck those promises away in your heart.
They aren’t just any ole promises … they are God’s promises!
Hear Him calling to you now:
Be still and know that I am God!
Five Minute Fridays: Messenger
We have a special guest post for today’s five minute Friday from Susan:
Messenger
We have a new messenger at our house. Who would have known this docile corgi/shepherd mix would eventually be the one to alert us of impending doom? This morning I awoke to Oreo barking ferociously to let me know a man was in the far back, behind the fence, a safe distance away. This man was a dear friend returning our tractor to us–but it was a man! A man, not a woman. I suppose women could break into our home unannounced. But if a man comes near the property, we know. Even when Daddy or brother come home, we now know. I don’t know what misfortune must have happened to this wonderful best friend before we rescued him from the Humane Society, but whatever evil may have been done was done from a man. Oreo has been with us over a year and a half, but this new job as the messenger of men is somewhat sudden. He has learned (or taught himself, really) that he needs to tell us when some new male is in the area. This is convenient in the case of UPS or FedEX, because the house is long and I hate to miss a package. Our messenger of men is also the messenger of love. He has a weird thing we call a smile. When he’s excited to see us, he smiles and nods his head–and usually sneezes several times. He doesn’t do this to anyone he doesn’t like, so that’s given me a great judge of character from my dog’s point of view…as well as loving sneezes.

We Care Wednesday – The Surprise Note
Welcome to We Care Wednesdays. Each Wednesday we want to talk about things the bother us no matter how big or small. Plus, we want to challenge everyone to do a little RAK (random act of kindness) during the upcoming week. We will be giving a suggestion for something simple to do. What we would really like is for you to be part of this and to give us suggestions, too.
One thing that can get on my nerves while driving is people that think they need to pull right up on your bumper at a stop light. I feel like these people are so close to me that they can read the tag on the back of my shirt. And yes, I have just admitted to the entire Internet that I sometimes do not pay attention in the morning and I walk out of the house with my shirt tag showing. What I don’t understand it do people not know that it is a safety risk to get that close to the car in front of you. I have seen way too many accidents where there are cars sandwiched in the middle of a multi-car pile up because everyone was pulled up right behind each other.
Now let’s move on to our RAK of the week. This week I want to talk about leaving a little note for someone. Take a post-it note or small piece of paper and write a little something on it. Some things you might write down could be “You are loved” or “God loves you. ” You could do this for your family or leave the note somewhere in public. I had an experience several weeks ago at the market where I was standing at the deli counter trying to decide on what to get for dinner when someone walked by and said “God loves you.” I turned around but didn’t see anyone else there so they must have been talking to me. It gave me a wonderful feeling to hear that for no reason.
