Lovely Flower at Dusk

This is my last day in Chiangmai. In a few hours I'll be boarding my flight back to Manila.
As I spent a few moments with the Lord this morning, this was His clear promise to me:
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand
The sun shall not strike you by day
Nor the moon by night
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil
He shall preserve your soul
The Lord shall preserve your going out
and your coming in
From this time forth
and even forever more.
- Psalm 121
The Lord is your shade at your right hand
The sun shall not strike you by day
Nor the moon by night
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil
He shall preserve your soul
The Lord shall preserve your going out
and your coming in
From this time forth
and even forever more.
- Psalm 121
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Hi Lidj,
Indeed, blessed be the Name of the Lord. On Saturday we celebrated the life of our women's ministries pastor who passed away suddenly. You're cut from the same cloth as I mentioned in my last post. You both inspire me to eagerly and persistently seek after Him.
How you bless me. I am truly humbled that you took notice of me, Lidj, in the midst of your full life. Just as I think of the people who were in close and constant contact with Nancy as most blessed, so I think of those you touch. What a God-send you are to me. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Love, Sita
Beautiful. Thank you.
By the way, that's an incredible photo! Great eye!
Like that flower looking up, may our eyes always turn to the One Who dwell in the heavens! Blessings to you sister and praying for a safe travel back home. God bless and keep you always.
Dear Lidj,
You are jumping all over the Far East
as easy as I'm taking a journey to visit my neighbors.
Some Jet setter.
I have a my own strong experience with the Psalm 121.
Serina was 4 years old, I lay by her side in bed. We had just sung and said our evening prayers.
"Mama, how far away is God," Serina asked out of the blue.
I glanced over at my Bible and
in a glance the words from psalm 121 were there:"
The Lord is your shade at your right hand."
I can still see the smile on her face, and her right arm up against the night stand lamp, creating flickering shadows on the wall right by her side.
"Is it true, Mama, Is God so close?"
I opened the Bible and read the blessed words.
I think she'll always now just how close God is. So will I.

Beautiful photograph.
Beautiful Word of God.
Beautiful Promise of Love and Protection.
I'm so glad you feel God's Word in such a tangible way, Lidj, it is so inspiring to me, and leads me to search Him out in the same personal way in my own life.
Thank you for sharing your gifts and thank you for sharing your relationship with God. It has helped me immensely.
Safe trip home.
Love to you,
Eileen
Such a pretty photo! I can see you had a wonderful time with God this morning - great Psalm!
AMEN!!
Praying for safe travels back to Manilla.
Blessings, hugs, and prayers,

Lidj, I'm stopping back here again to let you know that there is something for you on my Sunday (1/17) post.
Love to you,
Eileen
I am praying that you arrive home safely and that you experience His presence the whole way.

It's been awhile since I've been to your blog. (I struggle daily to limit my time on the computer in order to be faithful to tasks and callings that surround me.) But I HAVE been here often enough to know a little of your history and the faithfulness of God to you in times of grief and trouble. To be named alongside you in Eileen's post is humbling. Our writing styles are so different, but my heart's desire echos yours: to be a tribute to God my King, my Creator, my Redeemer, my faithful Father.
I rejoice with you in the marriage of your son. I am blessed to have spent a few minutes with you this morning. A portion of the Psalm you shared is currently on our church's sign this week!
Wonderful Word from the Lord!
Felisol's comment brought tears to my eyes...He is indeed the shade at our right hand...what a wonderful illustration for her precious daughter! - and a great reminder for the rest of us!
open flower towards the future
Lidj,
I pray those verses over my husband and my son every May through September.
They work in commercial construction and are often on the rooftops exposed to the blazing sun and heat.
God protects my men.
And I know that He will shade and protect you as well.
Sweet dreams.
dear crown of beauty..i am so happy that you are lifting your eyes up unto the hills and looking straight into the face of jesus!
you will never be disapointed dear sister!..love terry
