Hello this glorious morning!
I have to write and tell you all about yesterday’s My Coffee with Jesus. I think I tried to do it without Jesus. My BAD! I spent three hours trying to copy and paste on this windows 8. (I really hate windows 8). In three hours I managed to garble up my writing, realign all of it poorly, and then to lose it to a different format. I even turned to the last resort and read a tutorial. No good. No help. No My Coffee with Jesus. I put the computer away with disgust.
Then last night I was talking to Jim. He needed prayer and so immediately after hanging up I prayed for his and Kathy’s needs. I got out the computer once again and thought, “I’ll pray for this to work too.” I asked Jesus for His help, went to WORD, there was my e-mail. I tweaked it once and it all went back to the right alignment, the right wording: back to the way I had it first before I started the whole fiasco. I highlighted, copied, went to e-mail and pasted without a hitch. Can you believe it? Can I take credit for doing it right? No!! I am absolutely sure the Holy Spirit was teaching me another lesson. “If you have My Coffee with Jesus, be sure you ask Him to be there!
I need to remember hourly the power of prayer. I sit here day after day, sometimes thinkng I am not much good for anyone anymore, in fact, I am a burden. Someone has to get my groceries, clean my house, check to see if I’m still perking around, and often wait on me. Today, however, I know I am needed to pray. Who will pray for my grandchildren if I don’t? They need prayer so badly these days. They are so busy with their lives, they don’t take time to pray or maybe even think about Jesus. I hope this isn’t so, but have deep suspicions that it is. My children need my prayers, my church family needs my prayers, My unsaved friends and acquaintances need my prayers, My country needs my prayers, as does my government. I haven’t enough hours in the day to fill the need. I AM NEEDED TO PRAY! And so I will. I love you and pray for you right now.
God bless. Irma Jane
