Munsinger Gardens

My In-laws are visiting from Florida, and we took them to the Beautiful Gardens in St Cloud, Mn!! I just LOVE flowers and these gardens are just breathtaking!! We all had a very nice time and the weather wasn't too hot either!!

"Wits' End Corner"

I try to read a devotion each morning before my day gets started. In the past few weeks I have reread this particular day over and over! It was SO encouraging that I thought you'd like to be encouraged too!! If you have ever been, or are in a spot in your life (like I am now) were you are just discouraged, or can't see the light at the end of your tunnel, or at your  WITS END,then PLEASE allow God to encourage you throw this devotion (it is long, but well worth the read!)!!

They were at their wits' end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress. (Psalms 107:27-28)

Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner,"
  Christian, with troubled brow?
Are you thinking of what is before you,
  And all you are bearing now?
Does all the world seem against you,
  And you in the battle alone?
Remember- at "Wits' End Corner"
  Is just where God's power is shown.

Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner"
  Blinded with wearying pain,
Felling you cannot endure it,
  You cannot bear the strain,
Bruised through the constant suffering,
  Dizzy and dazed, and numb?
Remember-at "Wits' End Corner"
  Is where Jesus loves to come.

Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner"?
  Your work before you spread,
All lying begun, unfinished,
  And pressing on heart and head,
Longing for strength to do it,
  Stretching out trembling hands?
Remember-at "Wits' End Corner"
  The Burden-Bearer stands.

Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner"?
  Then you're just in the Very spot
To learn the wondrous resources
  Of Him who fails you not:
No doubt to a brighter pathway
  Your footsteps will soon be moved,
But only at "Wits' End Corner"
  Is the "God who is able" proved.
  
Do not get discouraged- it may be the last key on the ring that opens the door.
