A Squirrel And A Lesson Of Love


This morning as I sat and drank my coffee, I watched this momma squirrel teach her baby where to go to collect their breakfast.  As she ran up and down the tree over the wooden fence, her baby followed her every foot step. Stopping when mom stopped, running when mom ran and jumping to the next spot just like mom was doing. 
It was a peaceful moment in time in which my daddy God reminded me of his love and care for all his children and his love for me.

I began to think back on the many times in my life his footprints  guided me down the tress, over the fences and through the rough spots in my life, 
The many people he placed in my path to encourage me through my brokenness. 
The love of family and friends that feed me with words of strength and healing.
I began to see all the times in my life he used me to feed others even through my own struggles.
When I surrender to his will, my focus shifts from my own brokenness to theirs. 
In return he positions others to stand for me.
Just as the baby squirrel looked to his mom for direction this morning, it is when I seek the footprints of my daddy God I find my way.
No matter what I am facing in life.....
His love is unfailing....
His grace is given abundantly.....
His mercies are new every day....
He never forsakes me.....
And when I can't walk in his footsteps.....
He carries me.

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart. and my portion forever.

It amazes me what he will use to show his love. 
This morning it was a squirrel and her baby.
 I  share His words which were spoken to my heart this morning as I believe they apply not only me but to all.

"Just as she cares for her baby , I care that much more for you.
I will never allow you to go unfed....
For my love is greater than all others. 
You are mine and the apple of my eye my child.....
It is through me you can do all things.
I bind the wounds and heal the broken hearted....
I will restore 10 fold of what has been lost in your life...
Not only will I do this for you, but for all my children.
Take heart my child it is Me, your Father, who will do great things in your life....
And for all those who love me. "

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good  to those who love God,
to those who are called according to his purpose.

I encourage you, no matter what you may be facing today....
There is a positive for every negative....
A blessing in every trial......
And a love that is unfailing to carry you through.
Look for His foot steps and keep going.

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Holding On To Hope

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Hope is a feeling of expectancy with the belief of grand things to come. It is a corner stone in order to stay grounded in times of struggle, knowing that this too shall pass. It is a map with directions to reach breakthroughs. This is my definition of hope. I literally cling to hope  just as a small child clings to his mothers leg. To give you a visual close your eyes and picture a child with their arms and legs wrapped around their mothers leg as she attempts to walk across the floor. Can you see her dragging her leg with her child basically sitting on her foot?  That is me and hope. I cling to her and sit on her foot with all my limbs clutching around her. However there have been  times I did not do such a good job of holding on to hope.  Times when I haven fallen and have had to crawl my way back to her digging in with all that...

Discourage by Brenda Yoder

{Dis} courage Does it feel like sometimes there's a big, thick wall surrounding you,   isolating you from all that is good on the other side? I call this wall   discouragement.    I don't like it. Are you discouraged?  What are the bricks in the wall surrounding you today? In discouraging moments, it seems like God is far, far away. Far away on the other side of the wall. No matter how you cry, scream or wail, it's though He doesn't hear. There's silence. That's where the discouragement lies - in the silence. I've been surrounded by a silence lately in the midst of noise .  Can you relate?  The world is SO noisy yet what I long to hear most from is my heavenly Father. I need encouragement.  Do you need encouragement? I was blessed by a blogging friend as I read her post of discouragement ( read it here)   today.   I've been blessed by the faith of friends who are fighting for the life of their child.  P...
