Daily Prayer Thread !!!Plus The Word

Prayers said for all.

Get this -

FEMA finally came through and approved for reimbursing us for staying at the Hotel when Irma hit in September - from the 10 days no power...

Well, they also gave us a voucher to stay at a hotel while repairs are being done to the house.. which was nice of them.


So the family is at a hotel, just got back from the pool, checked in Friday night - leaving tomorrow, a nice little "stay-cation"

Much needed!

God is Good :)

Deuteronomy 8:5 You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.
6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

None of this has changed we are still chastened and waiting to enter this promise...
1 Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

More good news!

A few weeks ago I decided since I'm good with technology and words, and wife is a great shopper to start selling stuff on Ebay...

We have made $330 in 15 days. It's been just a tidal wave after our first positive review!

Find these big plastic bags of bathroom stuff (women's) and it's $10 for everything in bag.... Then well, I take pictures and list them... And Ebay automatically tells you a "GOOD price" for it... and suddenly a fake Prada wallet is selling for $40 (they knew it was fake) bought for .50 cents.... Aveda Lotion $18 found in giant.bag, "Green Tea Therapy" body mist $14, etc etc. All these lotions and creams and what not selling like hot cakes and I wrap them in colorful tissue paper before taking it to post office. PayPal sent us a PayPal debit card, etc, made us business account.

Honestly, this is a great little hobby and the extra money is nice.

Prayers please it keeps growing!

I posted awhile back about my dog Cuddles who was having health issues at almost 15. Sadly early this morning I had her put to sleep because of a deteriorating state and I felt it was time. The vet told me multiple times I was making the right decision, she was very weak, not eating and breathing somewhat labored. Her brother passed at almost 8 from lymphoma, too soon and very difficult time in my life. So even with some health issues, ears and arthritis mostly I know for a 77 lb dog 15 years is a blessing but I still wasn’t ready. There were things I still wanted to do with her but the vestibular issue limited many of these activities. But I loved her daily, kissed and hugged her all day, helped her eat....she loved four things in life, eating, sleeping, car rides and walks and we did the last two daily for the last 8 years.

The last couple years I’ve taken things day by day, kept my expectations limited considering her age and health issues. But overall her quality of life was high the last few years except for a few weeks. Well yesterday I cried all day and early this morning, then I went numb, empty inside. Took a nap and woke up shaking all over, whole body vibrating, every cell it seemed. And started to cry for no reason. I know someday it will get better but she really was my world. 15 years she was there every day, no vacations and I either took her with me to family stuff or I was back home in 12 hours or less. Not once ever did she pee or poop in the house, she was so good it was unbelievable. She looked to me always, especially these last few years she watched me around the house, would wake up if I walked in the room from another and go back to sleep...so special, so beautiful, her eyes told me everything she needed to say. We were bonded for life. So now I don’t know how to process it, I’m going back through dates and memories. Trying to remember all her patterns and habits. Luckily I started taking more pics and videos in recent years, many pics... I have another dog, who I got to keep her company when I was gone. He’s 8 now , I love him but he’s not Cuds and he’s not like her brother Bear either. But he’s a good dog, maybe not the soulfulness of Cuds but he’s mine and I love him. I just don’t know how to live without her...

I don’t have many friends, everyone knows me as the guy who drives his dogs around all over. I’m a guy so my few friends I know don’t really get where I’m at. I work from home most of the day now so it was a blessing the last 5 years or so spending so much time with her. I know how lucky i am that she made it this far but I’m hurting and I can’t process it. Everyday was built around her and her needs and then my work and chores. Someone once said losing a dog can be more painful than a family member because they are with you every day and many times family members are not in your daily lives. I totally understand, she was my life...To put into perspective I would have given her what’s left of my life if she could have lived on loved and without pain. I guess I’m just asking for suggestions, I’m not well...

R I P Cuddles and May you and Bear run free and wild where there’s no harm or pain. I pray your soul has gone straight to heaven.

From a few weeks ago, a pic after her vestibular issues kicked in, she was happy all the way even with her issues except for a few days the last couple weeks, yesterday included. [link to i.imgur.com]

I have lost many and had to put down several it hurts very much. We are so sorry and only time heals the hurt thanks for sharing. I had a white golden retriever , loved that dog. She had cancer and no longer could eat I had to do the same. The bond we have with them is strong. My german shepherd that was raised with her looked for her every day ...Love to you and I pray the hole in your heart heals fast.

When one door closes, another one opens. God is Good !!!

I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby ! We lost our Chocolate Lab 2 years ago to lung cancer.He was 12 1/2. My Sheba, who is 14 1/2, is still hanging in there with her kidney failure.The home cooked diet seems to be working for her for now, but I know her time is limited.

Thank you so much , I know my Post was long and rambling but I had to get something out...She was my child, my one dog that transcends species... Your white Golden sounds so nice, Golden’s are so sweet anyway. I keep looking for Cuds in her spots...When her brother passed years ago from lymphoma I had many signs of communication from beyond, some funny and really odd stories. Well today I was asking myself how could God let this happen after all the prayers I’ve said, all the devotion I’ve tried to show. And what should I take from this. I couldn’t stand being home, took my other dog for a ride and a walk. Stopped and got some Chinese food and used the bathroom and I found one card sitting on the mirror. It says “ Jesus said “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” . I’ve had some peace this evening, maybe just tired or denial or something but that card hit me...

Most people don’t understand but obviously you do Tiger. I was her world, she looked to me for everything. I left her with my father once for an hour while I took my mom shopping, he said she went to the door and whined and layed down their. I don’t remember hearing her whine almost ever unless she saw another dog. But she wanted to go with me because that was her life. I’m praying for your Sheba, hoping her body holds out for as long as she can. I too knew Cuds wasn’t going to live forever and around 13 I just looked at it as one day at a time, enjoy each day. Hoping that one day my perspective changes and I can celebrate Cuds life. She was so beautiful to me, even up to the end like that pic in the car mid October... God bless you all and I hope God helps me to understand why now.

Finding God In Yesterday

Yesterday was a very hard day. Questions where all over the place of why , how could this happen and many more.
In America this is happening more and more since 1980. Other countries risk their lives daily to worship God. A false teaching over many decades has made this event hard to deal with for many. I ask God to help me find His answer in this and the enemy have no foot hold.
He always sends me to the Cross and the Apostles. Jesus told us not to fear what man can do to our bodies. It is our souls and Spirits that are protected. Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.


Just because I go to man made church building every Sunday does not mean a human can not harm my body. This life we live is a Heavenly Battle and my earthly life has nothing to do with me. Look at what humans did to Jesus , to Peter and all the chosen ones before us. Why on earth would we ever think we are different.

We are to be ready everyday to meet our maker. To leave this place worshiping God is the comfort I found in all this. Do not let satan cause doubt or question. Many struggled yesterday with the young ones lost. It was some time back when a child died I had been praying for , God reminded me it stopped being about age and became about purpose after the Cross. Jesus was so young on that day...Persecution of the church has been going on since the beginning. The last days how ever long that is, will be very hard to endure , we where warned over and over of this.

The thing we have not done is prepare to be ready each generation and what that looks like and how to find God in it... When we have questions the Cross always has the answers. Many loved ones went ahead of us yesterday, to a place we should long to be...After this event we should not arm ourselves with man made weapons but the ones in Ephesians 6...

Deuteronomy 9 made me pause today. One is verse 9 When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. If you have ever fasted for more than a day and did not hunger it humbles us how God provides for us, Jesus was forty days as well.
The next was verse 10 Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
I had not thought of in along time that the Ten Commandments as the only thing God personally wrote. That alone is just one reason to love them...
Deuteronomy 5
7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
17 Thou shalt not kill.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 Neither shalt thou steal.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

God has a hundred million million ways of communicating with you. That card was just ONE, and is what is called a "divine appointment".

It was EXACTLY at the time it was needed for you to both notice it AND to reflect on it.



All flesh creatures HAVE to die sooner or later.

Unfortunately, some folks blame God for not answering prayers concerning a loved one / pet after they've passed.

They focus on their loss instead of taking in the "broader" view of realizing / seeing that the loved one had been a Blessing from God over the past several years, and that God took the loved one home, and is no longer in pain & suffering.

Should we not love God more than any earthly creature?

Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him,Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Give thanks to God for the Blessing of having the loved one in your life for so many years. (And try to imagine what your life would have been like WITHOUT that loved one.)

Give thanks to God that the loved one is no longer in pain & suffering.

Give thanks to God that you were given a position that allowed you to take care of that loved one as you did. (MANY don't get that.)

If need be, as God to forgive you for overlooking those things.

Been away with my oldest daughter on her business trip...just checking in

Prayers for all those in Texas praying in church

I have cherished every day with my Sheba, as she was not supposed to even make it past the puppy stage. She was born deaf, low vision, asthma, and malformed female organs. When she went into heat at around 6 months old, she almost died. I rushed her to the Vet, and that is when I found out that with everything else, her female organs were deformed and she couldn't discharge properly. The Vet did an emergency hysterectomy, but told me her chances were slim. She pulled through. A few years ago, she had a couple of strokes, but pulled through again, but one side of her face is a little droopy. She started having some trouble with her bladder a couple of years ago, so she was put on Proin, which took care of that. Then this summer, she was diagnosed with kidney failure, with her kidneys working at less than 25%. I home cook her a special diet of hamburger, rice, stewed tomato's and wax beans, and she is hanging in there.
I have been Blessed to have Sheba for so long. She was 14 on May 23rd. She was a dog no one wanted, but she was the dog for us. When we found her as a puppy, we later found out that her owner had kept her locked in the basement because he couldn't do anything with her because she was deaf, and destructive.She was just the opposite, and they didn't give her a chance. Yeah, she was the typical puppy who chewed on everything she could get her mouth on, but even though she is deaf, she certainly is not dumb ! She is highly intelligent, and was taught simple sign language by us.
She has lost most of the limited vision she did have, and can really only see movement and light and dark now, but her nose is just like radar. She has no problem with bumping into things in or out of the house like a typical blind dog, as she never had good vision to begin with. We have the same route's for her 5-6 times a day walks through our neighborhood and the adjacent bike trails, and the path is well known to her.
I think God placed her with us to teach us patience, and to strengthen our Faith. God is good to us ! He sent us a special needs puppy 14 years ago, to show us what unconditional love was really like. Sheba loves everyone and everything without reservation. I know she will not be with us a whole lot longer, but her time with us has been joyful!
Even though you are hurting, my friend, be thankful to God that He chose you to take care of and love your fur baby ! You had a very special dog, my friend. You will see your fur baby again, guaranteed !
