Hello everyone,

  I love this devotional.  He IS everything that we need!!  

  I'm excited because Robert and I get to go visit our daughter, and her precious family, this weekend.  With planting right around the corner, we thought we would go and spend some time with them before things get crazy here on the farm. 

  Next weekend Robert and I are traveling again to attend the North Dakota Republican convention.  PLEASE keep this event in your prayers as there's a BIG rift forming in our party.  It's so big that it may split the party and, those of us who have been marginalized for decades, are of differing opinions on how to handle it.  

  Your prayers have helped me countless times!  I can't put into words how grateful I am for knowing that I can come here and ask for prayer support.  Then the Lord works things out for His glory and my heart sings for joy!!!  I pray for you often too!  That's why I like to share encouragement here for those of you who may be unsure of the next step.  May this song encourage you as it has me many times.

   May God bless you as you lift up others around you to the Father.  He knows what each of us needs and has GREAT provision to meet our EVERY need!

Encounter God’s Heart…

Provision and Protection

  When we are invited into the family of God, he provides what we need. There is more than enough grain to feed us, there is water to quench our thirst, and there is protection from the meddling of others. We have all that we need in the covering of Jesus Christ. He is both our provision and our protection.

When we are following the Lord, he will give us directions to help us on the way. There will be people he sets in our path who will help us to know which way to go. The community of faithful lovers of God who are already working to bring in the harvest will cue us in where to go when we have no idea otherwise. The Spirit is our Living Water, the source of our refreshment and rejuvenation. There is more than enough in his presence to satisfy us whenever we are weary.

Spirit, you are my abundant portion at all times. Thank you for your presence and your power in my life. I love you!

YOU'RE A HERO!!!

 Hello everyone,

  How can these days keep flying by?  

  Since I had time to write, I was able to go to the home school convention with my son and his family.  I was able to help with the children so that my daughter-in-law could participate in the workshops and learn more home schooling skills.  

  While there, I got to spend 3 nights with my life-long friend, Anna.  She shared an amazing product with me which I want to share with you.  It tastes like hot chocolate but is loaded with health giving ingredients.  If you're not able to get ahead of your health challenges, I urge you to try this amazing product.  You can order some here:  https://cocoringa.com/

  What else is going on in our family?  My daughter turned 39 years old this week.  That means that I've been a mother for nearly 40 years.  How can that be?  I remember her birth as though it was a couple of months ago.  Now she is a mother and is home schooling her children to learn about how very much God loves them.  

  My grandchildren being taught at home, by the people who love them the most, is one of my greatest joys.  To see my children following in Robert's and my footsteps is such an amazing victory.  Who would have thought that us wanting to keep our children close to us would make such a HUGE difference in their lives?  

  I heard an old song this morning that speaks on this.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  It takes so little effort to be a hero in a child's life!  Let's all open our minds to see ways that we can bless the little people around us.  There are so many things in this evil world that are pulling them down.  Let's take the time they need to lift them up.

  Later,

  Dawn
