Protection {One Thousand Gifts}

Baby C is afraid of loud noises.  It started after daddy accidentally tipped the vacuum over next to her.  It didn't hurt her or even touch her, but it scared her.  She very much dislikes the vacuum and gets a scared look on her face when I turn on the blender.  When she hears any kind of loud noise, she runs to me for protection.  I hold her in my arms, letting her know that it's okay and that I won't let it hurt her.  I cover her with kisses and comfort her fears.  Isn't that how our Heavenly Father works in our lives?  When we are fearful, scared or upset, we run to Him for protection and comfort.  He is always there to cover us in His love and comforting arms.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. Psalm 27:1-3




 How has our Heavenly Father comforted and protected you lately?
Continuing the Joy Dare by counting my one thousand gifts.

  1. That's so sweet. I laughed at your mapquest one. Google maps on my iPhone is my very best friend.

    1. I know it. My husband makes fun of me all the time. He says, just follow the mountains. That totally doesn't work for me. Ha ha!

  2. Ever since J was born, my spiritual life has been placed on the back burner. We try to go to church but "something" always comes up. I say I'll read my bible and pray more, but "something" always takes its place. I actually fear that if I died tomorrow, I wouldn't go to heaven because of my sorry-excuse-for-being-a-Christian life right now.

    1. Lisa, I completely understand. We have been in the same boat. I did not attend church for a while because of this: http://www.sweettinyblessings.blogspot.com/2011/05/homeless.html

      Ever since then, I haven't found a home. We've been to church on and off, but with moving so much (4 times in the past 2 years), I was scared to make connections and have to give them up once I moved. We are finally settling down and I'm so excited to attend my first MOPS group next week. I'm hoping to find a home.

      I'm glad you have a relationship with the Lord. There are many who go to church, but don't really have a relationship with Him. No one knows who will or who won't go to Heaven. Just keep praying and asking for guidance. The Lord will show you YOUR way.
