above all

Today was one of those wonderful sailing days . Although the motor to the ship was not working we had plently enough wind in the sails for a short time till it dropped off. I took advantage of that time and laying face up on the deck as she gently sailed with the breeze in my hair. I looked up into the sky it was full of pufft white clouds everywhere and the sun was shining through them . The Sun was warm , my laundry was hanging to dry , and it was a good day . I sat and as i looked up into the sky i thought WHAT A MIGHT GOD WE SERVE ! all around me was ocean , ships sailing by and nothing but the hum of the wind generator as it picked up the wind . Lots of questions come to mind when looking up into that endless sky , wonder how far heaven is ? wonder if the angels see me down here ? and these and many more questions come to mind like a small child that asks her father why why why ?  All i know is the Holy Spirit is the Wind in My Sails ;)
as i take a deep breath in to just fill my lungs with the air i Thank God for every blessing he has given me , my family my children , the people i met in the hospital at OSU and Grant Trauma , all the nursing homes and the prisons i was blessed to sing to Gods hurting children . I thank HIM for getting me through the hard times the times i cried so hard that i could not breathe from grief , the times i prayed for the dying . And although people in the USA were constantly persecuting me for sharing the gospel of Jesus i count it all Joy because what i did i did it in Love just as Jesus  did for us on that cross

HE was crucified and laid behind a stone
HE lived to die , rejected and alone
like a rose trampled on the ground
he took the fall
and thought of me
above all
