Gal 6:10 (KJV)We have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 1 Tim 5:8 (KJV)If any provide not for his own, & specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, & is worse than an infidel. Rom 12:8 (NLT)If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. & if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. Mark 12:30-31 (KJV)Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, & with all thy soul, & with all thy mind, & with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. & the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. — Love is the key! We all need a hug! How often do we get so wrapped up in the troubles of the world & forget to love! Don’t forget to love! God tells us that love covers a multitude of sins! So no matter what is going on, never ever forget to love! And especially family! Quote: Mr. Covey, “I deeply believe that if we attend to all other duties and responsibilities in life and neglect the family it would be analogous to straightening deck chairs on the Titanic.” Love Mel

Psalm 91 (KJV) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge & my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, & from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, & under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield & buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, & ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold & see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion & adder: the young lion & the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because He hath set His love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, & I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, & honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, & shew him my salvation. — This is a great prayer for protection! Speak it out loud I am sure God will hear it! Love Mel

Having Faith to stop evil! Matt 8:26 He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose, & rebuked the winds & the sea; & there was a great calm. Matt 17:20 Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; & it shall remove; & nothing shall be impossible unto you.—I am a firm believer in prayer! I have faith that we can fill up the bowls in heaven to stop evil! So I am asking, Please pray, Yes Lord, we stand in agreement that the Elsa storm & all future storms shall fall apart, the winds, waves and rain will diminish in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏 Love Mel

Phil 4:8 (KJV)Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, & if there be any praise, think on these things. Rom 13:13 (KJV)Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting & drunkenness, not in chambering & wantonness, not in strife & envying. Gal 6:9 (ESV)Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. James 1:12 (ESV)Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. —Are you excited about God & the GOOD THINGS He is doing or do you tend to focus on the negative? We must stay focused on the GOOD THINGS He is doing because it is here where we receive so many of His blessings! Love Mel
