@Berrybunchfamily @MaryMamuzich I do pray this issue is soon resolved. Not so many months ago I was traveling and unaware that I was traveling to an area with a similar situation. I prayed and saw God's hand provide in amazing ways! After many locations being without fuel, I stopped at one that I thought may have been in service. No. They were empty too! I inquired as to whether the attendant could direct me to another location to find fuel. With a dejected face, she replied, "No, everyone is looking". Then, she said, "Wait! I just saw a (fuel) truck go that way" and went on to tell me where I could check. It happened to be on my route and, sure enough, I was able to refuel without so much as a wait! I believe it was Divine guidance and provision. I pray you will experience the same favor and provision and continue to shine as a light in the midst of the fear and chaos.
@DevotionalTreasures Yes, he does care for small things! Praying for your family and cat.
@TakeN I didn't even have a guess for this one. Good job!
Our dear American friend Eric (to the right) visited our home. We had fellowship with another family. Eric moved to northern Sweden around 30 years ago to become a missionary to Swedes, indigenous Samis (in northern Swe, Finland, Norway), Swedish-speaking Finns (like us), Russians and others… He travels regularly to Armenia. He is a kitchen table mentor and teacher, even if he is okay with the pulpit as well. He was one of the first I met around 15 years ago, who said that he prefers gathering in homes instead of church buildings, that he was leading through friendship and mentoring. He is setting an example (not only talking from distance), and he brings people with him when he travels. It’s OK to call him on the phone when there’s a need, and ok to ask any question. Today he told me: “Remember to be a human being, not a human doer!” He knows my upbringing and background, so I need that reminder every now and then. It makes me sad that there are so few spiritual mothers and fathers.
"If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do [like music, comedy, and lifeless sermons] would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference." A. W. Tozer
Going by the constitution of several nations, Joseph was doubly disqualified to be a prime minister. One, he wasn't a citizen of Egypt. Two, he was a convicted criminal. But God's mercy and grace located Joseph and covered his limitations. Look away from your physical limitations. With God, all things are possible.
@TakeN This one seems tricky. Almosts like Samson's riddle. I need to think about it as I'm totally clueless at present.
@Berrybunchfamily @MaryMamuzich I think I'll try them too. Our family enjoys trying different foods from around the world. This is completely new to us.
@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @MaryMamuzich @sinbach well a miracle I experienced was as my a dog was attemptig to bite me I reminded him of Psalm 8 where it said I had dominion over him, he could not bite me. I felt his breath right up to my arm,he tried a few times but never could bite. I cautiously went on my way praising God and the dog went his way..
@ChrisHarrison It was an interesting conversation. I LOVE hearing testimonies of God's goodness and how He changes lives! Part 1 was great as well.

Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c]
5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
@Kruselady Miracle No 1.

@Berrybunchfamily @Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @MaryMamuzich @bethany
Thank you. Recently I've noticed scriptures with joy or even ones about things that bring happiness grabbing my attention. There are plenty of things in this world to dishearten all of us, but "the joy of the Lord is our strength". Thank you for the scripture, the blessing, and the prayers. We are praying for you and the ones you represent as well.
@DevotionalTreasures @Berrybunchfamily I've never tasted these, but you sure are making me curious what they're like.
@MaryMamuzich @Berrybunchfamily @bethany do they have a lot of stiffly beaten egg whites? They look a little like merengues.
@Chidiotamiri Joseph faced so many trials and hardships. Thank you for sharing. So often things are not what they seem. Psalm 73 speaks of the seemingly easy life of the arrogant and wicked. Verse 13 asks, "Did I purify my heart and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?", but the Psalm ends with realizing that, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.....But as for me, God's presence is my good. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all You do."
I realized that in terms of physical achievements, at a time, Joseph was the least among his brothers. Even Benjamin was far ahead of him. Benjamin already had 10 sons when they arrived Egypt, while Joseph just got married few years back with two sons. Joseph's brothers were all pursuing their petty dreams, while God was laying a solid foundation for a "skyscraper project" in Joseph's life. Then suddenly, ONE DAY... Hallelujah! Joseph became the prime minister of the ruling empire. Please allow God to lay a solid foundation in your life and wait for your ONE DAY. Don't envy others who quickly complete their "bungalow projects". God is building a "skyscraper project" in your life.
SOS! A believer is on the run. He is falsly accused of murder.
The authorities are after the institution he is leading. Hefty bribe demand for out of court settlement.
