I hope your little fella is soon feeling better!<br />I know what you mean about wanting to spring out of bed radiating cheerfulness every day. But it just doesn't happen. That's why I am so glad God's goodness doesn't depend on my mood. *sigh*<br /><br />Debby Ann - And at just the right time, HE will put the necessary thoughts into your thought closet.<br />Because He's good like that.<br /><br />KM - Ah, yes! Knowledge trumps feeling, for sure. But I am so thankful that God still cares about my feelings - that He never says, <em><strong>Toughen up, Karen. You know what's True. Now live like it!</strong></em><br />Instead, He tenderly holds my heart and reminds me of the Truth.<br />*peaceful sigh*<br /><br />Patricia - His timing is perfect, as usual!<br />No limits. Amen to that!<br /><br />Jean - Thank you.

And t...Oh yeah...the blahs...definitely been there. And today? Today I'm feeling a little on the "defeated" side. So, I pulled out my daily devotional book & checked the reading for June 2nd. Here's what it said:<br /><br />"There are no limits to what God can do in and through you. In his strength you have power to do things you could never do on your own."<br /><br />I'd say that was a perfect reading for me today!! And, of course, after reading that I felt MUCH better! <br /><br />Hang in there, my friend, and let's all be thankful that He is the same always & forever! :)<br />Love ya!<br />PatriciaPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662206547720030431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-42898887829015649052010-06-02T10:46:35.059-04:002010-06-02T10:46:35.059-04:00I know exactly how a case of the blahs feel.

As I am trying to prepare for our monthly women's ministry meeting which is scheduled for this evening, like you I pray for the right words to speak into the lives of these beautiful ladies in hopes of bringing a bit of encouragement. Presently, my thought closet is empty...but...I agree "God is good, all the time"!! Remember...Walk by faith and not by sight. He shows up just at the right time!! Blessings to you, Sweet Karen and to the beautiful ladies on your blog!! <br /><br />Debby AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-60946832038677669102010-06-02T09:33:54.645-04:002010-06-02T09:33:54.645-04:00Blah?

But aside from such tiredness, I do experience "the blahs" too. I feel uncomfortable with the blahs -- I think I expect that as a Christian I should just spring out of bed every morning, cheerfulness radiating from me like sunshine. But my husband would point me toward having a heart of thankfulness for God's goodness. :) And, as you said, it is so good to know that God's huge love for us never changes, even when we're feeling blah! (i.e. He ain't gonna leave us!)<br /><br />All the time, God is good! :)Sara K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00252931749088878610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-77341245314067831542010-06-02T09:01:39.249-04:002010-06-02T09:01:39.249-04:00Leah - Yes, and our current verse in Ps. 139 is of...Leah - Yes, and our current verse in Ps. 139 is often where I find myself - saying the darkness will hide me.

Today I am feeling anxious about many many things going on in my life. HA! My last post about letting go of others choices, well it is a daily battle. NO! A moment to moment battle. I will yet praise Him, though, right along with you, for in His presence is fullness of joy.

They seem to be comers-and-stayers, rather than comers-and-goers. However, I, too, am so thankful that God is good and that He is faithful. thanks for the reminder, friend. <br /><br />LeahLeah Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888422138033372220noreply@blogger.com
