God Is Always Working

By Kay Heitsch

Just because we don't see anything happening doesn't mean God is not working. ~ God Is Always Working Quotes ~

When things happen, we often wonder where God is. However, we can be assured that God is always working. Remembering that God is working can help us relax.

Our Bible verse says. But Jesus replied, "My Father is always working, and so am I." John 5:17

God does not take a day off. He is always working, even though we don't see everything He does.

Just because we don't see anything happening doesn't mean God is not working.

With God

By Kay Heitsch

Anything is possible with God. ~ With God Quotes ~

I believe this! If you read the Bible, you will see some incredible miracles. Will everything I want happen? No, but that does not mean that God can't do it. I have seen God do things I never would have thought possible in my life.

Our Bible verse says. Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

We should never put God in our little box. God can do what people can't. With God, all things are possible.

Anything is possible with God.

A Gift From God

By Kay Heitsch

A true friend is a gift from God. ~ Relationship Quotes ~

My Aunt Carmeleta is a gift from God. In reality, Aunt Carmeleta and I are not blood relatives. She was married to my mom's brother, Fred, and Aunt Carmeleta married Ken when Fred died.

It has never mattered; Aunt Carmeleta and I have stayed close. In my teen years, AC gave me some great advice. When people talked badly about me, she said, "Just ignore them and be yourself." Those words were simple, but they meant a lot. It didn't matter, Aunt Carmeleta accepted me as I was. She liked me being me!

Our Bible verse says. The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. A sweet friendship refreshes the soul. Proverbs 27:9

Aunt Carmeleta's friendship and advice have been sweet over all these years. Aunt Carmeleta has been a true friend and God-given gift.

Hospice

By Kay Heitsch

Keep calm and trust God. ~ Keep Calm Quotes ~

Yesterday, while we were eating out, I received a call from Ken, Aunt Carmeleta's husband. Ken said Aunt Carmeleta had taken a turn for the worse and she was unable to walk. He was having Hospice come to the house and help out.

I call Aunt Carmeleta and Ken every Sunday afternoon. AC has had her ups and downs, as has Ken; that's a fact. However, Ken was still taking her to the donut shop last week, and they met with friends there daily.

Even though I knew this was coming, I am still sad. Please pray for Ken and Aunt Carmeleta as they go through this transition.

Our Bible verse says. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

I need to apply this verse. Although my heart is troubled and upset, I know God will give me His peace.

Keep calm and trust God.

Do You Recognize Him?

By Kay Heitsch

Even on our hardest days, in our darkest moments, the LORD who knows us, meets us. ~ God Is With You Quotes ~

God is always with us, that's a fact! But do we recognize Him? When we go through our hardest days or darkest moments, do we see Him reach out to us through a peaceful feeling, a kind word from another person, or a caring hug?

Our Bible verse says. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 14:18 KJV

God will not leave us comfortless. He will send His Spirit to let us know He is there, or He will show up another way. We need to recognize Him when he comes.

Even on our hardest days, in our darkest moments, the LORD who knows us, meets us.

Survivor

By Kay Heitsch

Love is patient. Love is kind. ~ Inspirational Quotes ~

Last night, I watched Survivor on TV. It was one of the most inspirational episodes I have ever seen.

One of the players, Eva, has autism. No one knew it except Joe. Eva was under a lot of pressure doing an immunity challenge and began to have an emotional meltdown.

All the players encouraged Eva to keep trying. When she had completed the task, Joe, who was on another team, came over and held her close, knowing what she needed. Everyone was crying, including Jeff, the show's host. The patience and kindness I witnessed were astonishing.

Our Bible verse says. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4

That's the love I witnessed last night! Love is patient and love is kind.
