Rae, I like how you put it "prayers to storm heaven".
I believe what the devil means for evil & harm the Lord can turn it to good. I also take comfort in knowing vengeance is the Lord's. Rom 12:19

You all know about the terrible winter storm in Texas. I had power and stayed warm. Yesterday morning the compressor went out on my heat pump. Still had heat in the house and ran ceiling fans in reverse to push heat down. Called Paris A/C this morning and a repairman was here in thirty minutes. He will call when he knows whether compressor is in stock or they have to order one. My praise report is the Lord saw to it I had heat when it was 7 below zero and he has blessed me with enough money in the bank to cover the repair. The Lord is good.

Oh my gosh, Sara! Thank GOD He is watching over and protecting and providing for you! Praise His Holy Name! I will be praying that the compressor is ready and waiting for you right away!
We have watched what is happening down there with absolute heartbreak and horror, and many of us up here in PA are praying! I heard you all may have 70 degree weather mid-week and that this should turn around soon. I pray to GOD that it is so! Please keep us posted! I'll be praying for miracles upon miracles for you!
God bless you and everyone in Texas. Please stay safe, Sara. And know we love you dearly and are praying for you and everyone who are suffering through this!
Much love and warm hugs,
Nini

Thanks Darlene, heard from the repairman and it will be put in tomorrow or Wed. I've used this company once before and their customer service is excellent. They tell you up front exactly what it will cost - parts & labor.

Sara - Happy Birthday, Again!!! How did everything go? Is your heat pump all set now?
Two Scriptures really stood out to me today:
Luke 6:36, "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
Such a simple command, and yet, not so simple at all when you really consider what He asks of us.
And again,
Matthew 16:24, "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." How easily we forget to (or how readily we choose not to) DENY ourselves and TAKE UP our crosses when we follow Him. It is very hard to be selfless... It is very hard to bear burdens... but to follow Him that is what He tells us we must do.
He never said His Way would be easy. He only showed us that His Way makes all the difference!
Thoughts?
God bless you all today!
Love and hugs -

I loved this, I pray it encourages you and makes you feel loved!
EXCELLENT STORY by DON JACOBSEN about ROOSTERS/
About Roosters My name is Peter. I am one of Jesus’ original followers. You remember me as the one who talked too much. I could make three mistakes before the rest of the group could open their mouths. I had good intentions, but I was so impetuous they often took the form of humiliating mistakes.
I was haunted for a long time by memories of that night in the courtyard. Jesus was in trouble; He was being interrogated by some high church officials. It looked like He might be punished, maybe even crucified. If He was condemned to die what might happen to the rest of us? We were all in a panic. In time, some of the bystanders recognized me. I thought I was a goner. And when a young woman alerted the group to who I was – one of His followers – I lied and said I didn’t even know Him. A memory like that will scream in your ear for a long time.
I thought I might pass out when I heard that wretched rooster crow. I don’t think the others heard it. But I did. Jesus had told me that before the rooster crowed three times I would deny I even knew Him. I knew He was mistaken. There was so much chaos in the courtyard I don’t think I even heard the first couple of times he crowed, but the third time, I did. It rocked me to the depths of my soul. I was sure I had just forfeited all the promises He had ever made us. How could His grace ever apply to one as weak as I?
For the next two and a half days we were all in a fog. They did crucify Him. He did die. I was there; I saw it. They did bury Him. Friday afternoon. John and I ran to the grave early Sunday. He had said He would arise, that the grave could not hold Him. Rumors were everywhere. Then we saw Him! I wasn’t sure how I should act, seeing what I had done. But we were hiding in a private little room, and suddenly He was there. I couldn’t grasp it but I couldn’t deny it. He was real; He spoke to us. I touched him.
Later that evening I met with His followers again – to talk, to remember, to pray, to wonder. I finally decided to go fishing and maybe clear my head. All night; nothing. When John wrote this story I asked him to include a statement I was sure many would miss. It said, “Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore…” It’s early in the morning that roosters crow. Jesus wanted to make sure I heard it. I can’t prove this, but I’m sure I did. That’s when He re-commissioned me, gave me opportunity to assure Him that I did love Him, and He sent me out on assignment to tell His story to the world. Every morning when the roosters crow I am reminded that even though I messed up my past, He gave me a new tomorrow. And ever since, I have loved to hear the rooster crow.

Easter blessings to you all! Jesus said: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
We're off to Maunday Thursday service this evening. Sadly, our big outdoor Good Friday service (on a hill with glorious views out over the valley) has been cancelled because surrounding areas are in lock down again due to 8 positive COVID cases. It's a 3-day lock down, so hopefully we can still attend Easter Sunday services and celebrate the risen Lord!!
Anyone else doing something special for Easter?
