It is a joy to wake to this wonderful old Dottie Rambo song this morning! With thoughts swirling through my head, I'm not sure where to start with writing so this may be quite a rambling post. But what's new, right?
Last night we had a couple of power outages, One before bedtime and it came back on after a hour or so. And another one occurred in the middle of the night. Now when you are on oxygen and have an old puppy who does not like noises, a power outage becomes an "event". But all is good this morning!
I went to the eye doctor yesterday as a follow-up to my cataract surgery. He was so pleased with the way my eyes have healed and how good my vision is. I told him, how proud I am and it far exceeded my expectations. Praise the Lord, I can see again and without glasses!
Sunday morning, I had the privilege to sing during our morning worship service. I was overwhelmed with emotion and joy of seeing the precious faces of the 4 that would be baptized that morning and starting their walk with their Savior. I thank all of you for your kind words, sweet thoughts and encouragement through your messages, texts and all ways you shared with me. But I give God the glory, because as Brother John mentioned, it was not long ago, most thought I was about to travel to my Heavenly Home.
I could go on and on about God's blessing on my life and all of us, but as Brother John said in The Impact last week, we are human and so often creatures of habits. We often go through life doing the things we have done habitually without even thinking. I know I do. I need to break some of these old habits of confidence and satisfaction of the things I have and take the time to remember from where all our blessing come. And as the song says, these blessings are not ours at all, they are borrowed. Jesus only let's us use them to brighten our lives. So remind me, remind me, dear Lord.
"Remind Me, Dear Lord" is a song I have always loved. There's a great Dottie Rambo story about this song and how it changed her life. My fondest memory of this song is with the girl's group that sang in the church I went to as a teenager. I can still hear them sing it today. I wish I could again for real!
Thank you Lord for your blessing on me! I pray with my old forgetful mind I will always remember You and the great things You have done! I pray this morning, "Remind Me, Dear Lord" will be a blessing to those who listen.
Beautiful song on this rainy morning to remind me of how my Lord blesses me everyday!
