Proverbs 17:6; Jeremiah 33:3 - "Promises"

God woke me with the words to "Promises" going through my mind. God is so faithful. He loves me so much and blesses me in abundance.

Great is Your faithfulness to me
Great is Your faithfulness to me
From the rising sun to the setting same, I will praise Your name
Great is Your faithfulness to me

Yesterday was full of blessings. The biggest one was getting to spend time with Adam and Miss Aiya. Her Papa Doc would have loved seeing her. The tears fell as I looked at the pictures taken. It brought back those last months when Doc would say, 'I'm not afraid to die but I just want to see the grand babies grow up.' It is times like this that I struggle with the 'whys?' of life. Last night being with Anna and her family was another time of the 'whys?' creeping in. My Rickey would have loved watching Mari open her birthday present I made her. The 'whys?' are tough but I know they are a part of life. I am so thankful for the time I had in Ohio with family and friends. It was full of blessings in abundance. Sitting with my Momma and listening to stories of before I was born is priceless. Airfare has increased so much but God continues to provide for trips. I am so grateful. I loved the story of my grandparents having no money to buy groceries and God providing. Grandma submitted a poem to a flour company and received $2 in the mail. Momma said Grandma came back from the mailbox 'hooping and hollering' waving an envelope in the air. That $2 bought them groceries. What a rich legacy I have in knowing God provides. Many times when I was growing up and my parents had health issues we did not know where the money would come to pay bills or buy groceries but God always provided. Woo hoo! He is always faithful. As I go back home I think of all that is ahead and pray God empowers me to stay focused so I do not miss anything He has for me. I pray for His physical, mental, emotional, financial, and most of all spiritual strength for the days ahead. I continue to pray for His revelation promised to me a few weeks ago with Jeremiah 33:3. I am so thankful for His faithfulness and strive to be faithful to Him.
