This is a view from a hill in Highland California.  Below this is the San Bernardino basin.  We have a saying at our church which is "The Inland Empire shall be saved." When I am on this hill and seeing this view that is the thought in my head and on my heart.

friday fave five 12 
On Friday's we post 5 of our blessing from the week.  It is hosted by Susanne at https://susannesspace.blogspot.com/


It has been a wonderful week:

1.  I am part of a ministry at church that meets on Tuesday nights. It helps us to overcome and truly forgive the terrible things that people can do to one another.  As a mentor I have not arrived, none of the mentors have arrived.  We all have hurts in our lives and we all at time have trouble truly forgiving.  This ministry helps through a process of getting with God, a journal, and homework questions that lead us to a place of true forgiveness.  We then write a letter, either giving or asking for forgiveness.  We don't send the letter we just write them and let the Holy Spirit work.  The results are truly supernatural God.  I have written two letters in the past two weeks and have seen from God some amazing results.  My changed heart for one, but also the changed heart of one of those to whom I wrote a letter, out of the blue asked me to forgive them for the very things I wrote about.  

2.  Today is my son's Birthday.  I am so grateful and thankful he is still with us and his brain is healing, his body is healing and he is here to celebrate.  Unfortunately he and all his family have the flu. They are vegetarian (actually mostly vegan) and usually well, when everyone around them is ill. But I think the stress of the past months since the accident have taken a toll and they all got the flu. But God is good and He will heal this too. 

3.  I am looking forward to my vacation next month with a lot of joyful anticipation.  More on that in the weeks ahead. 

4. Tonight is GNO (Girls night out) at church and it is always a good time of fellowship and the word and I am looking forward to it.  When we have GNO we don't have WR (Women Rock bible study) on Thursday morning so I got to stay home and sew. 

5. I am going to a retirement party today and I know it will be a fun time.  

Even though most of my 5 faves are about what is going on today It has been a great week thinking about those things coming today.  Also I have had a lot of fun working on some sewing projects.  I LOVE to sew and have decided to get off my duff and get busy doing it.  I will post picture in the weeks to come as I complete items. 

Sewing is a calming hobby for me and I am going to try different types of quilting.  I have boxes and boxes of material, much of it given to me.  I want to use it up and so I am making things I can take to a local Thrift shop run by people who have been on drugs and on the street and who now live in a home and are changing their life to live for Jesus.  The ministry is Set Free and there are many group homes here in So. CA.  I am excited because so far it looks as if I am going to have a nice outcome on several of the blankets I started on yesterday.  

I sure hope you have had a blessed week with much more than 5 favorite things about it. I was listening to Joyce Meyer and she said she studied the prayers of Paul.  She said Paul never asked that we be taken from our problems but that we go through them with Joy.  God asked us to praise Him in the storm.  So no matter how bad it has been just knowing God is enough.

Don't forget to check out the others who participate in Fave 5 Fridays.

  On Fridays we post 5 things about the week that were a blessing. It is hosted by  Susanne at  Living to Tell the Story ~~~ This one, Titus, will be 10 soon.  He and I spend Wednesday afternoons together. He does homework, get a snack and we watch Sponge Bob or Phineas and Ferb, then we cook dinner before the rest of the family comes home.   He is so smart and cooks like he is much older. My Friday's Fave Five are: #1. See above.  I love that boy and I am so glad he is not interested yet in after school clubs.  We get to spend the time I never got when he was a baby.  His Mom worked while the two older ones were between birth and 5 years.  I got to love on them for her, but with Titus she stayed home.  I feel very blessed to have this time with him now. #2.  I had lunch with my son yesterday and he is doing so good.  God is healing him and he is now going to volunteer at the hospital.  This ...

Friday's Fave Five

  I love Fridays when I get to post my favorite five things or blessings about the week.  There are always more than five so it is sometimes hard to pick. To see others who participate go to Living to Tell the Story and click on the respondents in the comments.  Many of them participate. 1. From last Friday night to yesterday I was sick.  It was a flu and a sinus infection, but thankfully not the flu. Yesterday I got to go to my son's new house.  We were outside most of the time so I was not having to stay a long way away from my grands and son.  2.  Even though everything is shut down I am blessed to go to a church that has can post all services online.  I got to enjoy our Women Rock Bible Study online .  It was so good. 3.  I may have spent most of my vacation at home sick but I still have 4 more days that I can go do something now that I am feeling much, much better. 4.  I have some sewing to do and have been doing s...

Friday's Fave Five

  https://susannesspace.blogspot.com/   Click this link to see the host and others who participate in Friday's Fave Five.  This picture is of my dear friend Lucy who went to be with the Lord just a few days after Christmas.  In fact just a minute after learning my son was being air lifted to Loma Linda Hospital I received a call from one of the Reverends at our church telling me she has died.   Why such a sad memory on a day when I am to tell my Fave Fives of the week? 1. Friends.  I love my friends (sisters in Jesus) so much and have a wonderful week of zoom meetings where I have had the blessing of talking to many of them.  I have had text messages, phone calls, and chats on Face Book.  The best thing is that we talk of Jesus and how present He has been in our lives during this time.  Lucy was a wonderful sister in the Lord and I thought of her a bit this week.  I talked with her daughter by text and we cri...
