With A Heavy Heart

Plans today are simple, it should be a quiet day. Light, general clean-up around here and some errands this morning. I need to get out for a walk this afternoon.

Concerns: My heart is very heavy for my brother and his family, things are not good there. It is the prime example of not being obedient to God's laws and paying dearly for it. What's even more sad is watching the trickle down effect to his children. I'm so sad today. My heart is in Colorado.

Today I'm thankful today for friends that God brings into our lives when we need a loving touch or a caring word. I need that today. 

From God's Word today:

Deuteronomy 5:28-33

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

²⁸ “The Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. ²⁹ Oh that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well with them and with their sons forever! ³⁰ Go, say to them, “Return to your tents.” ³¹ But as for you, stand here by Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which you shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I give them to possess.’ ³² So you shall observe to do just as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. ³³ You shall walk in all the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.
