Catching fireflies

Since I was a little girl one of my fondest memories was being at my grandparent's house and going out on the front porch to catch fireflies. As I would run out the door, I would hear a show by Catherine Kuhlman on TV. She would say, "I believe in miracles." That is something that I have never forgotten. It still rings in my heart today. Then later that night I would hear another show come on their television. It would be Oral Roberts and he was singing, "Something good is going to happen to you, happen to you, this very day. Something good is going to happen to you. Jesus, of Nazareth, is passing your way". As I rest these days, those two shows still play in my heart. I am so glad that he is a God of miracles and nothing is too hard for him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Here is the lyrics of another song that I wanted to share with all of you.

He'll do it again
By Karen Wheaton

You may be down and feel God has somehow forgotten
You are faced with circumstances
That you can't get through
Tonight it just seems there's now way outIn natural you could just go under
But God has proven time and time again
He'll take care of you
He'll do it again
He'll do it again
You just take a look where you are now
And where you've been
He'll see hasn't
He always come through
For you
He's the same God has always been
You may not know how,You may not know when
But He'll do it againHe knows the things that you're going through
He knows how you're hurting
He's been there and He understands how your heart
Has been broken in twoHe's the God of the stars
The sun and the seasThat God is your Father
Tonight He can calm the storm
And He'll find some way to fix this for you
He'll do it againHe'll do it again
You just take a look where you are now
And where you've been
He'll see hasn't He always come through
For youHe's the same God has always been
You may not know how,You may not know when
But He'll do it again



Update: Still resting good. Feeling better with everyday! Pray for me to have extra energy this week. I am going to do my best to get up and out of bed. Thank you so much for your prayers, food, and flowers.

  4. What a legacy Jane leaves to her friends and family! Such an inspiration to us all!

    My sympathy to her family and all her friends -there will definitely be a void...just follow her example and rest in Him!

    I love and miss you, Jane, and will always cherish my memories of you, but I celebrate your "graduation" - your home-going, you're right where you always wanted to be - IN HIS ARMS! (Joy Wood Brandstetter)
