I am encouraged with your love of frangipini (sp?) plants/trees…last week when we had tht unexpected “wind wonder”, it blew our beloved varigated yellow/white over 20 yr. old into the canal (little earth, big pot)….my husband & best earthy spiritual influence (at times to me) actually “yoked” that plant out of the canal, absolutely soaked it, broke it twice in the process (humor is HIS) & has it now in God’s hands which could give us 3 beautiful frangipini trees/plants/…….miricle weeds from God. (I wonder why we have had so much blessed rain on the east side of BPK the last couple of days……or is the answer with us for ever & eva!)

1) That God reveals things to me as He determines I’m capable of handling the answers
2) For a great day yesterday with His family
3) For being able to boldly approach the throne
4) For a God that wants a relationship with me
5) For a new day – with new promises – and new grace
