April Fellowship

We had our monthly caregivers meeting on Saturday. It was great, as always. It seemed as if we had not seen each other forever. Our fellowship was so sweet. It just feels good to sit and relax and share your burdens with others who truly do understand. Fellowship was awesome, worship was refreshing and God's word to us was so appropriate.

From "Moments of Peace from the Psalms" - SHIFTING THE PILE

Pile your troubles on God's shoulders - he'll carry your load, he'll help you
out. He'll never let good people topple into ruin. Psalm 55:22 MSG
--- You should always make your loved ones a priority in your life. Yet
you must also understand that sometimes God will use circumstances to prevent
you from helping them when they're struggling.

Whether it's because of distance, health, responsibilities, or even
relational barriers, God may have allowed the separation to keep you from
interfering in what he's teaching them. You may want to shoulder a burden
that only he can carry for them. Or perhaps he is refining their character
through their troubles.

Whatever the case, you must shift your worries about them to God.
Always remember that he's able to care for them better than you are. Just
keep praying and let him work.

God, it's rough seeing love ones making bad decisions or suffering, but I
trust you to work in the. I pray they'll depend on you. Amen.

Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear
my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace. Psalm 55:17-18 NKJV

Then Ida share her heart with us and encouraged us to lean and trust in God and God alone, friends are good, but it should be God the one you call first before anyone else. She gave us encouragement and God's word to carry us through. Jeremiah 14:13c, 15:15; Proverbs 11:14b; Mathew 18:19-20; Psalm 31:15a; Daniel 10:18-19.

Once again we were blessed and encouraged. We laughed, we cried, we shared, we worshipped, we enjoyed each others company. In fact, we even celebrated some birthdays. The cake was yummy and our earrings and necklaces were gorgeous. For a moment in time all seemed "normal".

Thank you Jesus for the brethren. Bless my sisters and bring others to be refreshed by YOU.
