God of Miracles

Call to remembrance the former days,
in which, after ye were illuminated,
ye endured a great fight of afflictions.
Hebrews 10:32 KJV

Barren, windswept, lonely hills
Turning gold with daffodils--
These miracles are all around
Within our sight and touch and sound,
As true wonderful today
As when the stone was rolled away,
Proclaiming to all doubting men
That in God all things live again.


However bleak life might seem today, we have one hope that life lives again, here on earth when spring time comes, things grow, new life, babies come, new life. with death, even then it is a new life when we have followed Christ we live again,  Praise the Lord.  So what ever is happening today, remember there will be new life, where ever and what ever that may mean.

Father, help us to expectantly anticipate the new life that is unfolding in our midst.  Today we pray for those with physical needs that you might touch them and meet their need.  In Jesus Name. amen.

Yesterday was a school day, it is spring break so Richard wright came to visit at school and Robbie Braathen.  robbie is one of the first students that I worked with when I came to Starkweather school, he is a student at UND, an amazing story of  turned around choices.
  After school I spent time cleaning in the house, and spent later in the evening removing the paint from the little chest I am fixing.  It is really unique when you get the ugly gold off of it.
