Hold Fast

It has been some time since I've posted. So many new directions to look at. I can't believe that it is almost Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner! It is quiet in my home these days. I am not complaining at all as I know when the grandbabies get here it will liven up a lot. For now I am enjoying the peaceful tranquility.

I want to learn to use my husband's camera. Since our youngest started working and having a filled up schedule my pictures have been non-existent. He usually took care of that for me. I am trying though to remember to take things step-by-step and not become frazzled and overwhelmed.

Let me share a few verses that I had recently in my Bible time - 2 Kings 18:5-7 - "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him. For he held fast to the Lord: he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses. The Lord was with him; he prospered wherever he went." This was written about King Hezekiah. The whole chapter is short. If you have time I would recommend taking the time to read it. I found it encouraging. I've been praying for some Hezekiahs.

Hope you have a wonderful day! Until then...
