"I cried, 'Carry Me, Daddy,' - and He did!" - reprint of a former devotional!

Bible reading: "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms...(Deuteronomy 33:27 KJV)."

I remember my daddy's arms. "Carry me, Daddy," I would plead in my five-year-old little girl voice. It was a long way home--and we had no car. Little legs would only work so far--and Daddy knew that. His strong arms would pick me up and carry me the rest of the way home. He's home now--with the Lord--but I still remember Daddy's arms...

"Abba, Father," I cry. "Carry me, hold me, help me. I can't go another step further." And those strong arms of my Heavenly Father pick me up and carry me home, into His very presence where I am safe, I am secure, I am loved. His arms are there for you today--whatever your need. Reach out--and you'll find His arms already open, waiting to hold and love you, to carry you when you can't go one step further. He's our Heavenly Father--and "underneath are the everlasting arms." Believe it--and have a great day!

FINISH WHAT YOU START!

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a chocolate cake.

I feel better already.
