Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Still In Limbo

You know, as much as I love my daughter and enjoy being with her as much as possible, "Limboland" is not a pleasant place to be! Here we are - still no power, no water, no heat and I feel guilty because I want so badly to get back to my own home!
Watching the news today and seeing that they have set up a shelter in downtown OKC for people who have no place to go for heat, food and other necessities - I'm almost ashamed of myself for feeling the way that I do! I dread going back to the house because I know that I am going to have to clean out the fridge and freezer, which won't be pleasant at all! Hopefully since it's still be cold and we didn't have any heat it won't be too bad, yet.
Jody called and is on his way to the house to check and see if we have power yet. I guess if we do and if they delivered our propane like they were supposed to do on Friday last week - we can go home again!
I would like to get back to a normal life. It's no fun living out of a suitcase!
I'm also very thankful that we have a place to go when we need it. I'm thankful for the reminder of what's important!
In His Love and Blessings

    Thanks Valerie - I actually cleaned it out as soon as I got home last night! It didn't take long and I didn't want it hanging over my head any longer! It was a relief to get it done!
