for his mercies never end.

KATIE MEGEE – What PRAISEworthy news!!! Thank you for sharing so quickly! ❤
Katie, awesome news!
Oh she’s. How wonderful it is to hear the answered prayers. I have one to share today, my sweet friend who lost a baby posted that she had a healthy baby girl last week. I have prayed for her in the midst of my waiting season (we had miscarriages within a year of each other) and it has brought me so much joy. For other sisters in waiting seasons like me, I love the next line of this verse, Lamentations 3:24 NIV
[24] I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
We are not like those waiting without hope. For we remember the Lord’s faithfulness. We have the evidence in this comment thread. And we know he will be faithful tomorrow. I keep holding onto we are perplexed but not in despair. My heart and prayers for all of you in the “perplexed” stage. I’m with you. He’s with us.
GM-Happy Saturday She’s!
It’s been a great week of learning and embracing God’s scriptures! May we continue to grow and relax in His love and promises! I am excited to go to first group this morning to discuss Put On Your Warrior Boots..by Lisa Whittle! It fires me up to not be lukewarm in my faith..and to live with purpose and being prepared!!
Well I am home now, and I see I didn’t even push enter this morning! Group went well, it is always a delight to sit at Panera, outside in cool SW Florida weather…and talk and discuss living for the Lord! I am so happy I have so many different ways to grow and expand, learn, fail, and try again. Love you all and always praying for the needs!
Praising God everywhere I can today! Yesterday was my surgery and biopsies and I am cancer free! His healing in His timing according to His plan. I am so thankful that He chose to do it this way at this time. Praise be to God! Help me keep my eyes fixed on You and the tasks you have ahead for me!! Thank you Jesus ❤️ God, remember our future!!
I love these verses and the hymn, Great is Thy Faithfulness. I grew up in the church so I knew the words, but after my son Christian died they became extra special. Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, that helps in so many situations doesn’t it?? Great is His faithfulness! Christian was hit by car when he was not quite 3 years old. Our son was 9 months old at the time and we weren’t planning anymore children. God blessed us with a sweet daughter after Bob had his vasectomy reversed. You can’t replace one child with another but we were glad to welcome a new baby to our family. That was back in 1990 but sometimes seems like yesterday. My heart goes out to you she’s that have also lost children, Traci, Tina and Mia that I know of and there may be others. Hang on to hope and God’s faithfulness. Sorry for the long post, I tried to answer some questions I thought you might have. Peace and love to you all
CEE GEE, thank you for the beautiful hymn. Brought back memories of the one by Gary Chapman from the the late 80’s early 90’s. I’m listening to it now. He sings it acapella.
Lamentations 3:22–24 (CSB):
Because of the Lord’s faithful love
we do not perish,
for his mercies never end.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness!
24 I say, “The Lord is my portion,
therefore I will put my hope in him.
So grateful for his mercies that are new every morning.
