Grace Walk
Walk with Me and work with Me--watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't try to lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with Me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.

-Matthew 11:29-30 The Message


Hidden Treasures
One of the most satisfying aspects of writing
is that it can open in us deep wells of hidden treasures
that are beautiful for us as well as for others to see.

-Henri Nouwen in Bread for the Journey

A Modern Day Psaltery
David wrote psalms to express
what was in his heart.
Seeing no need to hide what he felt,
he wrote with sincerity, and with no hidden agenda.
What he felt was never taken against him.
Pray, dear reader, discern my heart between the lines.
Dinah Maria Craik couldn't have said it better:
"Oh the comfort -- the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person --
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together;
certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then, with the breath of kindness
blow the rest away."

Baby Talk: Prayer Request


My grandson Forerunner with his mom, God-given



But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings...

- Malachi 4:2



Dear praying blog friends, please lift up my grandson Matthew before God's throne.

I just found out Thursday afternoon that he has been having fever, and cough, and is now under heavy medication.

We are believing God for the healing that this little boy needs.

Pray for every evil assignment and ungodly agenda over him to be broken.

Pray for a fresh infusion of heavenly joy in Matt's heart so that supernatural strength will flow through him.


Pray for peace for his mom who is left alone to care for him, while his father is arriving in Manila this morning to be part of the pamanhikan that our family will be doing Sunday evening.

Praise God in advance for the healing that has already been done on Calvary!


Oh LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance
and my cup!

- Psalm 16:5


--0--

Update: Matthew was hospitalized by noon today. His pediatrician wanted the baby to receive proper medical attention. Please continue to pray.

Psalms112;7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings,his heart is fixed,trusting in the Lord.

Lidj ,it will be OK .The child is under the blood covering of the Lamb of God.
The enemy is attacking all God's children and their families now as he knows his time is short.A coward attacks our little ones.
I will sure be in prayer for Matthew.

Dear Lidj,
I will pray for Forerunner his parents, yourself and that the pamanhian will all turn out for the best of the involved families.

I have had some anxiety the last days about the Swineflue and all the problems we all may have to face.
Yesterday these words came to soothr my restless heart:
Luke 10:19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. "
Hope that you too, dear Lidj may find comfort and safety in these words.

I will also thank you for being so near me in the spirit these last days.
You have trials of your own, by your strength and care have been of immense value to me.
Go with God.
From Felisol
