My Own Roses

I was excited to see my favorite roses blooming today. These are climbers called Joseph's Coat. When they first begin to bud, there are shades of white, yellow and pink. As the blooms mature, they turn red. A progressive rose - which is good for me because I get bored easily. I don't get tired of looking at these because they're always changing. :>)

Continuing my thoughts on God's blessings in my life -

I used to have "panic" or anxiety attacks when I was a teenager. I had to be put on medicine for a while. I only had to stay on the medicine for a year or so. I would still have trouble from time-to-time. After I was baptized, my attacks became much less frequent. I still have one once in a great while, but I can put my faith into action to overcome it.

The bible says that God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and love and a SOUND MIND. The Amplified version says "a calm and a well-balanced mind".

Jesus also told his disciples that he bequeathed his own peace unto them. We can claim everything that Jesus told to his disciples, so that same peace - HIS peace is ours to claim.

The Bible also says that the peace of God will fill our hearts and minds when we lift up our requests to Him.

What terrific promises!!
