I've been having a lot of those "YIKES" moments lately, even as recently as this morning. Thank you for this perfect reminder that we are not....I AM NOT...in control. Great photos of your September, "yikes" moments included.

Blessings all mine with ten thousands beside." Praising God, not only for the things that easily stir our thankfulness, but also for the opportunities to trust Him more!

Praise God on the good news of your coming grand daughter. Praying Ron heals quickly. If only we could ALWAYS remember those scriptures even in the hardest of times. Think of what we'd save ourselves. Fear and worry are NEVER from Him so we know what we need to do with them. But so much easier said then done sometimes. I love that He loves us and cares for us and is there for us in spite of all our weaknesses.

I come here after reading headlines like today's (the mass shootings in Oregon) because I know I will find something to soothe me. This evening I felt worry creeping up on me... and lo and behold your post today was on worry. I thank God for using you in such a powerful way.

God is good and He does promise not one thing more than we can bear. Saying a prayer for Ron to heal well and for your furry friend to feel better, too. Loved all the photos, but the group photo was especially nice. Then, too, I like the one of Kati and Bekah walking arm in arm. Alaine is an adorable five-year-old!
