Day 2: Your neighbors

Mark 12:31

31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[a] There is no commandment greater than these.”

In one way this is easy. My neighbor, Diane is an absolute gift. I am not sure what I would have done without her this past year nor she me. 
My other neighbors, however, require much more effort. The perv next door, the new neighbors on the other side of Diane and especially crazy at the end...I just have to love them from a distance.
Lord, help me to feel in my heart the way you do about them. But also help me to guard my heart (as well as my sanity) in dealing with them. Help me to hold my tongue and not speak ill of them unjustly just because I don't like them. 
And I thank you so much for Diane and pray that you will always bless her. Provide for her needs, emotional and otherwise. Make her healthy that she may enjoy her family and her golden years. Help me to be the blessing to her that she has been to me.
In Jesus' name,

Amen

Prayer for my daughters

Oh heavenly Father, I lift up my daughters to you.  I love them so much.  Please take care of them Lord.  Cover them with your blessings and protection.  Let me let go of my desire to confirm them to my will.  show me how to protect them and guide them into wisdom. Let them know they are loved as they are.  Let me love them also as they are.  Let them know they are indeed princesses in a kingdom far greater than any fairy tale, a kingdom with a great king who reigns with justice and mercy.  Make them strong in your Word. Let them be tender and gentle and let your love flow through their lives and hearts.  In Jesus' Holy name,  Amen

Notes on Fasting from 2014

January 5-- The best of all first fruits of any kind, and every sacrifice of any kind from all your sacrifices, shall be the priest's; also you shall give to the priest the first of your ground meal, to cause a blessing to the rest on your house. --Ezekiel 44:30 Did great today. Napped thru some of the caffeine withdrawal and didn't eat until I actually felt hungry. January 6-- The are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.  Sanctify them by your truth.  Your word is truth.  As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  --John 17:16-18 I am struggling today.  I have a headache from caffeine withdrawal and am sluggish and hungry.  I thought I had hummus at work but I didn't.  So just my pita chips, apple, cereal and almond milk so far.  I am praying for strength and I know that this is a painful process of detoxifying my body. January 8-- Yesterday was much better.  I am trying not to feel too ba...

Day 1: Your family (Psalm 103:17-18)

Psalm 103:17-18 New International Version (NIV) 17  But from everlasting to everlasting      the  Lord ’s love is with those who fear him,      and his righteousness with their children’s children — 18  with those who keep his covenant      and remember  to obey his precepts. Lord, You know I have not done the best job as a mom. I like to believe that most of the time I did the best I could with what I had. I know I made MANY mistakes. I lacked patience. I focused too much on the wrong things. I wasn't the best example. But I did try. I loved them (and still love them) more than anything else. And almost every mistake I made came from wanting to raise them right. My prayer was always that they would have lives that were happy, well-adjusted and that they would know their purpose early and live for You.  I am so thankful that all were saved young and even though they aren't currently in churc...
