Waiting on God - Updated

UPDATE 4/23/2020:  I like to go back and look at things I've written in the past around the same time of year as the current time, and this was written on 4/24/2018.  I think the theme of "Waiting on God" certainly is appropriate for our current situation today, don't you? We are all waiting on God, for this Covid 19 Crisis to pass, and waiting on God for the okay sign to get back out into the realm of the living again...allowing people to get back to work safely, and for us to begin to slowly get back into the mainstream of life once again.  

These pictures below came from our previous home. I sometimes miss the beauties of that place, but then again, God has given us some wonderful beauties to behold here in our new home as well. We waited patiently for the Lord to sell our house and find us a new home, and I must say that God does all things well. We can trust Him, friends, to bring us through this crisis into a stronger and better place than before. Just keep your eyes focused on the Lord, and He will never let you down.

Original Post, 4/24/2018:

 "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;

Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,

because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass."

Psalm 37:7

"Wait on the Lord;

Be of good courage,

and He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the Lord!"

Psalm 27:14

 "The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

to the soul who seeks Him.

It is good that one should hope and wait quietly 

for the salvation of the Lord."

Lamentations 3:25-26

"The eyes of all look expectantly to You,

and You give them their food in due season"

Psalm 145:15

"You open Your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing."

Psalm 145:16

"The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,

to all who call upon Him in truth.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;

He also will hear their cry and save them."

Psalm 145:18-19

Dear friend, Are you waiting on God today for some answers to difficult questions?

Are you waiting for the Lord to show you His plan for your life...whether it be financial, medical, personal family situations, salvation of a loved one...

Whatever it may be that you are waiting for, you can trust God to meet your need...

He is always there...He hears your prayer, and He sees your heart...

Trust in the Lord...

"Fear not, for I am with you;

Be not dismayed, for I am your God,

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

Amen!

Welcome to Fall at My House!

Welcome!  I thought you might enjoy a few little pictures of fall at our "Camp in the Woods" home! 


 


  

Our front hall is decked out with autumn color and freshly built brightly colored birdfeeders waiting for a new home...maybe you'd like one for your fine feathered friends?



Take a seat and rest for a minute, and then we'll go back outside and visit some other "friends".
(The classy looking country accent table was designed and built by my son right here at "Ben's Country Woodshop"...I love it!)






Back outside there is no telling who or what we might discover waiting for us...

 

 Oh, here's Mrs. Bunny Rabbit!  She's having her breakfast! She is practically
one of our pets...always hopping around, nibbling on grass or any other
juicy tidbits she can find. She doesn't seem to mind getting her picture taken!  





She once was caught eating our one and only cantaloupe,
which was growing from seeds thrown out in the yard.



Here's the evidence! (This was earlier this summer)  That
is why we most likely won't be growing a garden anytime soon out here...





 

Mrs. Cardinal has flown in for a bath.  She won't mind if we watch!



Well, maybe she is a bit shy afterall!



See you later, Mrs. C!

Oh! Hello!  Here's Mr. Cardinal...storing up on some "beautyberries"!  Looks like he's already
pretty well cleaned up this bush!



Looks like there's a few more berries over here!  Right next to this pretty new green birdfeeder!



Maybe he'd prefer this colorful "gator" birdfeeder! Made especially
for our Univ. of Florida Gator fans!



Well, maybe not...bye bye Mr. Cardinal!

Believe it or not, we did have another special visitor just the other night.  My pictures didn't turn out because it was getting too dark, but I was able to get a good look at him, and it was this same fellow that we met earlier this summer...only now he has put on more weight and it looks like he is getting his winter coat already.  This picture is from this summer...but I know it was the same one because he had this distinctive white "V" on his neck:




He followed the exact same trail as before, only he kind of got in a hurry because he could hear us in the house
running to each of the windows as he passed by, trying to take his picture...but this is what I got:

My own reflection in the window as the bear hurried past... Oh well, maybe next time he decides to
follow the "bear crossing" in our yard I'll have better luck!



 

I hope you have enjoyed this little autumn day walk around our "camp in the woods" home!  It's been a

pleasure to spend this little bit of time with you.  I hope you can come visit for real sometime, and we'll have a cup of hot tea on the front porch...or maybe even some hot spiced apple cider!  We may not  have

pretty fall leaves here in Florida, but we can still enjoy the change of seasons in our own way!

Happy Fall to you!

Blessings from my house to your house!
