Malaise

    Today was a day of slight depression as Jerry gave the meaning of malaise, probably due to weariness. Wept last night as the sorrow over a troubled soul swept over me. The harm that is done to children and the chains that then encase them is awful to behold.
    A brother in the Lord gave me fresh courage and hope. His faith was inspiring. There was no doubt, only calm confidence that the oppressed can be set free, through Jesus our deliverer. He said by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our testimony we can be set free and how important it is for the oppressed one to speak the truth.
    Tonight I spent time with my roses. Clipping, pruning, spraying and fertilizing. They seem to like this cooler spring.
    Thankful for:

1. Roses
2. Stacie and her funny antics, and for her faith that help is on the way in the spiritual world.
3. That Debbi only had to work till one, leaving more time for her other job, and time to go visit friends.
4. That Jolene is planning to come home tomorrow.
5. For the plenteous rain.
6. For encouraging words from friends.
7. That this was Chris's last day in a very annoying job.
8. That Jerry has a house to build.
9. For Jerry's succinct advice.
10. That the Enemy and his hosts are NOT all-powerful.

May our lives have an impact on the evil around us. May we be not on the defensive but on the offensive. May we advance as Joshua did, always in obedience to our Lord.
