The Best Relationship

By Kay Heitsch

A relationship with God is the best relationship you can have. ~ Relationship Quotes ~

When it's all said and done, a relationship with God is all we need. As we live our lives, it's so important to have a close relationship with God.

Our Bible verse says. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. Ephesians 1:17 NIV

What more can we want than wisdom and revelation so we can know God better? The more we know Him, the better our lives will be.

A relationship with God is the best relationship you can have.

Whether You Know It Or Not

By Kay Heitsch

We don't always see it, but God is caring for us in more ways than we know. ~ God Is With Us Quotes ~

Now I can see that God is with me, but I didn't realize in the past that He had always been with me. I understand now that He was giving me the strength to deal with many issues in my life.

It took Todd's death for me to come to a full awareness of God's presence in my life. Before, I just stumbled through life, not knowing God was always there.

Our Bible verse says. I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me. Psalm 16:8 NLT

Now I know, but before that, I didn't realize the LORD has always been with me, just like He is with each of us.

We don't always see it, but God is caring for us in more ways than we know.

Hidden Blessings

By Kay Heitsch

There is a blessing hidden in every trial in life, but you have to be willing to open your heart to see them. ~ Life Quotes ~

When we look back on our lives, we will see hidden blessings in the many things we go through, if we ask the Lord to open our hearts to see them.

Our Bible verses say. Rejoice always, never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 NLT

God wants us to have a wonderful life. He tells us to rejoice always, never stop praying, and be thankful in all circumstances. This is God's will for us, no matter what we are going through.

There is a blessing hidden in every trial in life, but you have to be willing to open your heart to see them.

When Fear Comes

By Kay Heitsch

Trust God when fear comes. ~ Trust God Quotes ~

We all have times in our lives when we feel afraid. However, when fear comes, we can immediately put our trust in God. He knows what we are experiencing.

Our Bible verse says. When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. Psalm 56:3

We will all experience fear at some time in our lives. But when we do feel afraid, we can put our trust in God.

Trust God when fear comes.

Only God

By Kay Heitsch

Only God can fill an empty heart. ~ Only God Quotes ~

There is an emptiness in us that only God can fill. I lived with this emptiness for many years. I didn't know what was wrong.

After I turned my entire life over to God and accepted His way of being and doing, the emptiness was filled.

Our Bible verse says. Truly, my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him. Psalm 62:1

Our souls will only find rest, and the void will be filled in God alone. Our salvation is from Him.

Only God can fill an empty heart.

Unexpected Blessing

By Kay Heitsch

Yesterday, I received a text from my friend, Sherry, with whom I have been friends for well over 50 years.

I've written about how Sherry loved Todd so much when he was a baby that she decided to have children of her own.

This text Sherry shared was about her mother. In it, she put her mother's maiden name. I was surprised because her mom's maiden name and my grandma's maiden name were the same.

We both checked our genealogy and found out we are distant cousins! Sherry told me she has always felt a close connection with me.

Our Bible verse says. Out of the fullness of his grace, He has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another. John 1:16

God always gives us unexpected blessings! I sure received one yesterday.

26 ~ Picnic Experience

 By Kay Heitsch

We didn't stay in the South very long, and Bill was transferred again. Each transfer was a promotion, so this made moving somewhat easier.

Todd and I were used to being alone. Bill worked long hours, and then these transfers left us totally alone, until we found another place to live. I never dreamed I would ever be without my Todd.

One day, I thought it would be fun for Todd and me to take a picnic lunch and eat out in a field behind our house. We ducked under a fence, and I found a nice spot under a tree. We put our blanket down, opened up our brown paper bags, and got our lunch out.

As we started to eat our lunch, I looked up and saw a huge bull running towards us. I can't tell you how fast I grabbed our stuff up, and Todd and I went running for the fence! We made it back under the fence before the bull got to us.

This picnic lunch sounded like a good idea at the time, but I should have checked this field before we ducked under the fence the first time.

This is yet another reason why I praise the Lord. Todd and I sure could have been in big trouble if we hadn't gotten under the fence before the bull got there.

"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
