{So Many Praises This Week}

 Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Well, this has been a week but we've so much to give God praise for and I can't let an opportunity to praise Him pass me by and wanted to share with my blogging friends.

I just love that song and have found myself singing it a lot this week.

If you have the chance to listen to this beautiful song I promise you that you will be in awe of our Waymaker, Promise Keeper, Light of the darkness God.

I get a text from my best friend since 4th grade one night this week sharing this picture. Her husband was walking from his house to their son's house which they live next door only too have a small wooded area between them. It was dark and he had his cell phone for light. He went to take a step and heard the rattling. One more step and he would have stepped on this rattlesnake. Needless to say he was pretty shook up. Can I just say..."Praise the Lord for His hedge of protection". He has not seen a rattlesnake on his property in 39 years. This has surely caused this family to rethink walking back and forth in the dark in a wooded area for sure. 

A day later I get a call from my sister who lives about 40 miles from me saying that her husband had severe chest pains and had been rushed to a hospital. He winded up with a double bypass and I am thrilled to say that he is sitting up in bed now and eating. He had some heart problems years ago and he flatlined on the table. Needless to say...God once more had a reason for keeping this man of God here on earth. He has a servant's heart and ministers to so very many, especially the homeless. God is surely a good, good, father. 

The very next day I receive a call from my sister that lives about 20 minutes from me saying that her grandson was riding his dirt bike and hit a light poll and has been life  flighted to a hospital. He was in and out of consciousness for a while. It was a very frightening time there for a bit but God...God heard the prayers of the saints and choose to answer our prayers. He came home after two days with severe bruises, scrapes and cuts. No broken bones, no internal injuries and no stitches. There were two men that happened to be coming by and rushed to aid my niece, Levi's mom. One man called 911 and the other man stood over Levi and prayed for him. I have the holy bumps as I type this. Our God is surely a miracle worker.

I know this is not my normal "family friendly post" but I often think how quick I am to ask God for something in prayer but I am slow to give Him praise. I want to praise Him for how I have witnessed his hedge of protection over my family and friends this week. 

On a lighter note of things..this is the pictures I see on my phone when the granddaughter leaves my house! LOL! I sure needed a laugh and she gave me one. 

My tomatoes are beginning to come in and at the looks of the vines they are each loaded down with at least 12 or more tomatoes on each plant. I am thrilled as I love a fresh tomato. 

I've already enjoyed a good grilled chicken salad using one of my tomatoes. 

I did end my week with my middle daughter joining me for a little yoga on the mat. That doesn't happen often as she enjoys doing Cross Fit. I was so happy to have her join me.

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and remember...give Him praise for all things.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy
