Marching to ZION!!!.... Isaiah 53-54

"REPENT!... For the Kingdom of God is at Hand....

He was wounded for our transgressions...
He was despised, rejected of men...
A man of sorrows , acquainted with grief..
We esteemed Him not...
And by HIS stripes we are healed...


ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY....
We have turned EVERY ONE to his own way....
And the LORD has laid on HIM the iniquity of us all!...Isaiah 53

... " REDEEMER... The HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ...
the GOD of the whole earth.....
With GREAT MERCIES will I gather thee... Isaiah. 54:5,6,7,-10....
and all thy children shall be taught of the Lord!...
And GREAT PEACE shall be the peace of thy CHILDREN...
No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper... Vs 17


Lovingly,

Great song too- do you know it?

I am unconditionally loved and forgiven and redeemed! ..Rev 12:11
Wars & rumors of wars increase... In nations & church & family... But:
Check out " the end of the story".... Revelations 21-22....Grace to you all... Amen.

Hopes and Dreams and Answered Prayers

Sarah sounded so good today when we had a nice long phone visit. This is a treat since we rarely both have a good time to talk. It was so neat to hear the noises in the background: cars going by, children getting out of school and talking loud as they walked home, and sweet Eleonora " singing" as she stretched herself awake from a long nap. We still pray for her complete healing of her vocal cord but we are so thankful that she is doing so well at almost 6 months weighing 8 pounds. She is completely off monitors and oxygen during the day! YEAH!!! This makes is much easier for everything, including 2nd floor apt living with the laundry down 3 flights of stairs to the basement of the complex.

Me, I am dreaming about holding my PRECIOUS Gran~ baby and just looking in her beautiful blue~green eyes and drinking in her smiley face !!!! Hopefully this will happen at Thanksgiving or soon after....

Elizabeth and I are also praying about and dreaming of a life~long desire to go to Israel and walk where Jesus walked and there is an opportunity to do just that in April with some good friends and a neat group. I am selling rebounding units to earn our way ( that is a mini~ trampoline) and if you or anyone you know is interested LET ME KNOW!!!! email me at joyfulrose@earthlink.net. Donations and/or Contributions are eagerly accepted also :)

What are your HOPES AND DREAMS AND ANSWERED PRAYERS!!!!?????
