A word of encouragement from my Lord in times of uncertainty

....MADE THE IRON FLOAT....

2 Kings 6:6

The axe head seemed hopelessly lost, and as it was borrowed, the honor of the prophetic band was likely to be imperiled, and as the name of their God to be compromised. Contrary to all expectation, the iron was made to mount from the depth of the stream and to swim; for things impossible with man are possible with God. I knew a man in Christ but a few years ago who was called to undertake a work far exceeding his strength. It appeared so difficult as to involve absurdity in the bare idea of attempting it. Yet he was called to it, and his faith rose with the occasion. God honored his faith, unlooked-for aid was sent, and the iron did swim. Another of the Lord's family was in dreadful financial strain. He would have been able to meet all claims and much more if he could have realized certain portion of his estate, but he was overtaken with a sudden pressure. He sought for friends in vain, but faith led him to the unfailing Helper, and lo, the trouble was averted, his footsteps were enlarged, and the iron did swim. A third had a sorrowful case of depravity to deal with. He had taught, reproved, warned, invited, and interceded, but all in vain. Old Adam was too strong for young Melanchthon; the stubborn spirit would not relent. Then came an agony of prayer, and before long a blessed answer was sent from heaven. The hard heart was broken; the iron did swim.

Beloved reader, what is your desperate case? What heavy matter have you to deal with this evening? Bring it here. the God of the prophets lives, and lives to help His saints. He will not suffer you to lack any good thing. Believe in the Lord of hosts! Approach Him pleading in the name of Jesus, and the iran shall swim; you too shall see the finger of God working marvels for His people. According to your faith be it unto you, and yet again the iron shall swim.
-Charles H. Spurgeon

Olivia Leigh is 6 weeks old!

Two days ago my darling little girl turned 6 weeks old. It seems like time goes by so fast. She is slowly growing out of her new born clothes and into her 0-3 month outfits. She is smiling, and cooing and alert. She is such a joy and a very welcomed addition to our family.

Kazoos

The kids both got Kazoos in their stockings for Christmas. Daniel loved his from the start. Monica was a bit more frustrated with hers because he could not figure out how to play it. She kept blowing into it and wondering why it did not make any noise. I tried to show her that she had to use her voice to get it to work but she did not get it. One morning she brought it to me sad that she could not get it to work. I explained again how it worked and after working with her for about 10 minutes she finally got it. The first time she made sound out of her kazoo she was so excited. Now both kids walk around the house blowing their kazoos making music. Here they are showing off their musical talents!
