#LMMLinkup: Happy Indepence Day

July 2, 2018 By Mary Hill 13 Comments

 

Welcome back to the #LMMLinkup this week. I want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day.

I also want to thank you all for your prayers. They worked and despite my unbelief, God worked a miracle. The doctor found no blockages in my husband’s heart. Now, we are praying for a similar miracle with his neck.

You all really boosted my faith last week with your prayers. I cannot thank you enough. Now, please pray that my husband will be cleared for neck surgery soon and that God will heal his neck.

Thank you all so much again. I hope you all have a spectacular Fourth of July.


 

Now on to our weekly linkup. First let’s meet your hosts:

Active Faith

By Barbara at Stray Thoughts

“When we find ourselves fretting, fearful, downcast, we seek God and remind ourselves of His truth in His Word”

Barbara’s post proved very timely in my life this past week. I found myself fretting and worrying, but God is wonderful to forgive and see us through our most trying times. I hope you will enjoy her post.

My Favorite Post

A Prayer for America

By Sarah Geringer

 

Sarah provided a very timely and inspirational post for this holiday season.

 

“Jesus, no matter what happens today or in the days ahead for America,

we pray you will turn our hearts to you.

We pray for a new spiritual awakening across our great country.

Unite the plans and purposes of your church, that we may serve you and

our fellow Americans with love and peace.”

 

As we celebrate Independence Day, I lift my voice in concert with Sarah and pray Amen. I hope you will also read this important post and pray with Sarah for our country today.

 

Please let me know what you liked about this post in the comments. What are your prayers for our country this week? Thank you so much for  your continued support.

Linkup Rules:

  1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
  2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
  3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
  4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
  5. Also note  periodically I will send everybody updates on the linkup using your contact information you provided when you linked up. At the bottom of the notifications you will be able to unsubscribe if you do not wish to receive these notifications.
  6. Tweet about the link up too.

    Hi Mary , I missed the link up last week, but remembered you in prayer. What a praise report, so glad for you. And I think you probably had some doubts is all, why rest is so important. You certainly aren’t in this category, Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in anyone of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God. Hebrews 3:12 Now that is real heart trouble. Healing prayers and a restful 4th. (And peace over your dog, I know that is so hard. )

    Gayl & Mary, thanks for sharing Sarah’s post and your prayers for our nation. We are in desperate need, aren’t we! Let’s pray that an awakening would happen first in our own hearts and the body of Christ would get fully committed to living for Him. If that would happen there is no telling what would happen in our nation at large. I think about a relatively small body of believers that once turned the world upside down according to the Scripture.

    I’m so glad to hear the good news about your husband’s heart! I pray he can get the neck surgery soon and for God’s healing.

    I’m honored that so many clicked on my post last week, and I hope it was a blessing to those who read. It’s something I have to remind myself of often.
