He is a big starch fan, too!<br /><br />I like the idea of being Starched Stiff in the Lord - better than scared stiff without Him!<br /><br />His strength, made perfect in my weakness.

Then after they dried they had to be "sprinkled" with water and rolled up for awhile to distribute the moisture evenly. Then came the ironing. I'm sure today's generation has never heard of such a thing. The only starch I've used for the past few decades has been spray on starch. When my husband was preaching each Sunday for the last several years he took them to a laundry and they came back beautifully starched and ironed. I really appreciated him doing that. <br />Thanks for bringing back the memories and applying them in a spiritual way.<br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-59961733769561520482011-10-23T23:41:18.721-07:002011-10-23T23:41:18.721-07:00Loved the Scriptures on the strength the Lord give...Loved the Scriptures on the strength the Lord gives us.

After packing for my family of 7 to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina (with just a small amount of allotted luggage) and traveling through the night with a 3 year old and baby...I can testify that God truly can be one's strength!! =) We had tried to find an apt. on line for us to live in, but nothing was working out. ONE HOUR before we left for the airport we got a message that someone had found an apt. for us. So, when we landed, we got to go to a nice furnished apt. rather than stay in a hotel. Isn't God awesome? We are rejoicing in His loving care! =)<br /><br />Love ya,<br />~Heather~The Dickinsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689122652341720167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-53385814558499843092011-10-23T07:10:45.284-07:002011-10-23T07:10:45.284-07:00God is my strength and I am trusting Him!

Since I haven't read Nahum as often as other books of the Bible, it really stood out to me.

I can't tell you the last time I ironed anything, plus we don't even have an iron these days, but you are right, you can't get that freshed pressed look just from the dryer alone.<br /><br />I am so glad God is my strength and my shield. <br /><br />One of my favorite verses is Psalm 9:9-10. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. <br /><br />And so glad that his strength is everlasting and he never grows weary!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
