Psalm 31 O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
3 But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill.
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.

When Tim came home for lunch today, he confessed that he was having a “bad day.” Nick’s health situation was really getting to him today, and he was feeling blue.
As he headed back to work, I felt bad for him. I didn’t really know what I could say or do to make him feel better.
This roller coaster we are on is so unpredictable. Some days I am sad. Other days Tim is sad. Some days I feel positive. Other days Tim does.
The good news is……………God is the same every day and HE knows just what each of us needs!
Today, God knew that Tim needed a lift!!
Late this afternoon one of my friends had stopped by to drop off Nick’s medicine she had picked up for us. She was commenting on our house being decorated for the holidays, and I was telling her that Tim was planning to add Christmas lights to the side of our house when he got home from work. My mom jokingly said, “He needs a bucket truck!” As God would have it, my friend chimed in, “We have one at work.” I couldn’t believe it!
Within two hours, Tim was home for work and riding up to the top of our house in a bucket! He was grinning ear to ear as he was doing something for the first time in his life AND getting lights to a place he didn’t know if he could really reach any other way!
I talked to my friend on the phone this evening and said, “Thank you so much! Tim really needed a lift!!!” In a real and a spiritual way, the bucket brought both!
Isn’t God amazing!?!?! He really does supply just what each of us needs. And I truly believe that when we are open to hearing from Him, He loves to be creative in answering our prayers!!
Praying God Sends Just the Right “Bucket” to You Today!!
Love you all so much,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
This is wonderful, Tammy. It gives me holy bumps…how Tim was so down and the Lord lifted his spirits. Wonderful. Praise God.
I’m wondering, did Tim skip that side of your house in the past? The down falls of having two-story house…I have one too. Climbing on or near the roof is dreaded.
Love and prayers, sweet one.

I love today’s post! I am glad that Tim got his lift, both literal and spiritual. That looks like a fun and safe way to put up lights. Hey, can he come over to my house next 😉
You are all in our prayers.
You guys are on an adventure. I’m not sure if you can recognize it because of all the pain along the way…but you are most definitely on an adventure. God is just SO good!
What a blessing..so glad for your blog and the privilege we have to share in all that God does for you daily! You guys are amazing with those decorations…sure wish you were closer and I could certainly put you to work.:)
