Scriptural Gems Posted in Inspirational
Last night we had another thunder storm, we have been having them in the evenings for about the last week (give or take a day or two). As soon as the thunder started I began to wonder how long it would take Charlotte to come out and sleep on one of the couches in the livingroom - didn't take very long (she doesn't like sleeping in her room when it is storming outside, so she sleeps in the livingroom just outside our bedroom so she is closer to us). 
When the kids were younger I showed them a verse in their Bibles that has helped me immensely when I am feeling afraid (and it has really helped them as well):
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Is. 41:10)
This was the first verse that I had them memorize - they both put bookmarks at this spot in their Bibles so that they could find it easily.
So, while I was laying in bed last night I pulled my Bible off of the headboard and opened it up to Is. 41:10. Then a thought occurred to me, I had memorized that verse but what did it say before and after it - I began to read and my eyes stopped on this verse and just read it over and over and over:
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (Is. 41:13)
I really love when God speaks to you, don't you? I looked over at Don and shared the verse with him and said "Isn't that just the most amazing thing? When we are afraid, God is right there beside us, holding our hand!" Now, I have been told over and over that God is always with us and that he won't leave us ...... but you know what, when you actually read the words from His Word it kind of takes on a whole new meaning, know what I mean?

that when your feet hit
the floor in the morning,
Satan shudders and says. . .
"Oh, great . . . she's awake". ~

* Do this three times.
* To the finished coffee mixture, add one half the amount of sugar (if you end up with 3 cups coffee mixture, add 1 1/2 cups sugar).
* Mix until sugar is completely dissolved.
* To use: add 2 - 3 tablespoons of syrup to a 10 oz glass of milk, stir to mix and enjoy.
