Farmhouse Hugs

"...thus says the LORD, who created you...He who formed you...Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, not shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior"  
Isaiah 43

I love this verse. It's a bit well used and familiar, but it encourages me every time I meditate on it. I love that God promises deliverance through the pain and stress and difficulties of life. I see the preposition THROUGH, not AROUND. Isn't that beautiful?
I love that God has brought new friends into my life that genuinely care for me and my family and our needs, not out of compulsion, but out of a heart of love.
Thank you for your prayers...
Kathy

Oh it is so beautiful. I woke up to 47 degrees this morning. It sure looks like Fall has come early!
You have a lovely Saturday!

My daughter Lynnette has such beautiful sunrises out on her farm too. I always look at pictures like this and think of the verse that says...the heavens declare the glory of God.

I love Autumn, but my allergy headaches come along with it too. Yuck!

But in each season there are so many blessings to enjoy!
