Genesis 31:49: "May the Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another."

Trouble Tree Story I hired a carpenter to help me restore an old farmhouse, and he had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. Upon arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree and knelt down before the tree. When opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles as he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just leave them at the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again." "Funny thing is", he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember leaving behind."

TREES,  by Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

A 17 year old "girl" went to her friends house and she ended up staying 

longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid 

because it was a small COMMUNITY and she lived only a few blocks away. 

As she walked along under the bike trail Diane asked God to keep her 

safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a 


shortcut to her house, she decided to take 

it. However, halfway down the 

alley? she noticed a man standing at the 

end as though he were waiting 

for her. She became uneasy and began to 

pray, asking for God's 

protection. Instantly a comforting feeling 

of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone 

was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked 

right past the man and arrived home safely. The following day, she read 

in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley 

just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by 

this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. 

Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she 

decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, 

so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to 

look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and 

immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night 

before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately 

broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery 

and asked if there was anything they could do for

her. She asked if they would ask the man one 

question. Diane was curious as to why he had 

not attacked her. When the policeman asked 

him, he answered, 'Because she wasn't 

alone. She had two tall men walking on either 

side of her. '


Goodness (Angel 1) and Mercy (Angel 2) shall 

follow you all the days of your life.

   Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're 

not alone.  Psalm91:11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go

FATHER, WE PRAY THAT WE WILL ALWAYS 


SEEK YOU, IN ALL OF OUR DECISIONS, 

ACTIONS, AND THE WAY WE LIVE, AND 

TREAT OTHERS. HELP US ALL PLEASE TO 

FOLLOW YOUR WORD, AND WILL FOR OUR 

LIVES. HELP US NOT FORGET.....


JEREMIAH 29:11-12 NKJV "For I 

know the thoughts that I think for 

you,”  says the LORD, “thoughts of 

peace and not of evil to give you a 

future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go 

pray to Me, and I will listen to you."

Praying for you and yours that God will wrap His loving arms around each of you and grant you spiritual, physical, emotional, mental and financial blessings. And that He will bless each of you with His awesome love, forgiveness, guidance, mercies, grace and inner peace. Praying for the sick, hurting, lonely, and grieving, with a special prayer going out for the people of Charleston, that He will touch and bless each of you in ways only He knows you need, and so that He will receive  the honor and thanks for all He does. Praying for our country, and it's leaders, that He will guide them to do and make the right decisions for our country and it's people. (they may temp. be the leaders, BUT, HE IS ALWAYS GOD!) And giving Him my love, thanks, honor, praise and glory in all things in Jesus Holy name, amen.
