Everything I Needed.

Today I am sharing an inspirational writing from my collection:

Everything I Needed

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brains to work.

I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience and God placed me in a situation where I was forced to wait.

I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted- I received everything I needed!

My prayers have all been answered!

And I would like to share more photos of our beautiful English countryside:


 
 
 
 


These photos were taken on a day out walking in the countryside a few months ago. Even on a dull day the beauty shines!

  8. Oh the beauty shines. I love weeping willows and canals and rivers, and that house with a path leading to the water. I have a neat book with lots of photos of walking tours taken by C.S. Lewis in country that looks somewhat similar. Green!

  9. Hi Linda! This is one of my favorite writings. The Lord knows exact what we need, & our prayers are sometimes answered in a totally different way than what we had hoped for. Praise God, He is wise & all knowing!

    Love the photos of course. I really do wish we had taken more when we lived there.

    I guess you know now that Scrappin Blog have lost their backgrounds for now. This is why you see the white background here. Not sure when or if they will get them back.

    Have a lovely day Linda! Love you dearly.

  14. I really needed to see this inpirational writing today. I've been mulling over the drudgery that we face in our lives, how God expects us to deal with it and how I too often stive for comfort when comfort isn't what I need at all. I am aiming to seek Christ not comfort. Comfort will come, but it won't be provided ultimately by the means I find in this weary old world. Glad I stopped by!
