Being raised an only child of two working parents, married to a geologist, brings about a false feeling of self-sufficiency...."that I can do it on my own, without any outside help"...what a lie....fallacy that is easily believed...

And now a widow...more self-sufficiency arguments...another fallacy, lies...I can't breath on my own without God's provision...or live in any way...

All along life's way I am totally dependent on God's provision, conception, growth, intellect, parents, husband, income, food, physical abilities, activity...He provides them all....at His discretion..at his abundance....life itself...number of days...

It is beyond my capacity of thought to realize how much I take for granted and how much He provides without my thankfulness...

Thank YOU for things seen and unseen, the care, the sufficiency of Yourself..

Psalm 31:19-20, 24 How abundant are the good thingsthat you have stored up for those who fear you,that you bestow in the sight of all,on those who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your presence you hide themfrom all human intrigues;you keep them safe in your dwellingfrom accusing tongues. 

Be strong and take heart,all you who hope in the Lord.
