Here’s an unexpected blessing! (April 11, 2009)
I hope you all had a blessed Easter however you celebrated the Resurrection of our Savior! Well folks, I have some praise reports I want to share… My husband and I just got home after having a fantastic Easter dinner, and spending time with family. One of the first things I did was open up my computer, and you know what I found? I found an email telling me a woman named Mary commented on my page on the social network I had just joined called KingdomInsight. I had also posted one of the articles I wrote earlier called Fingerprints of God. I opened up the email to see the comment Mary had left on Fingerprints of God…
Lori,
I thank you for sharing your most touching story and giving testimony of God’s love and His presence in your life.Tears filled my eyes as I read your story and I felt the ever-present LOVE of MY Savior wrapping my entire being.
As for your comment…
“Getting past myself by investing time in others, helps heal my pain.”This is exactly how I feel. Thank you, Lori. God Bless You “ALWAYS” …in “ALL” ways!
Mary~
What a really nice comment, right? I was then led to comment on her page. The first thing I saw upon opening her page was…

This video was added as a “Tribute” to Lori Laws. If you have not read her most touching story yet, I suggest you visit her page here at KingdomInsight. You will be inspired beyond words. Thank you, Lori
This was my response…
Mary, what a very sweet gesture! Praise God! Thank you my sister…the memories of my dad singing this song to me will always be sealed in my heart. As I watch and sing along with this video, I get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Thank you and may God shine huge blessings on you! Do you have any idea of how much you have blessed me by doing this? It’s a wonderful thing to meet you! I hope you had a great Easter, celebrating the resurrection of our Savior!
Here’s the scripture on my mind… “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of Lights…” James 1: 17
***In the first three minutes of this video, you’ll hear “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”…Please listen. It means so much to me, especially with the recent passing away of my dad. The lyrics to the song are below in bold italics.
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothing seems to fit Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’
I had the hardest time dealing with this illness. Nothing seemed to fit. I truly thought my life was over. This is a chronic disease-I don’t get a break; 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week…”they keep falling”
So I just did me some talkin’ to the sun And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done Sleepin’ on the job Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’
I did me some talking to The Son. “I hate this disease…Why is this happening God? Are you sleeping on the job?” I think you can imagine the conversations Jesus and I have had. Again, this is chronic. I never get a break from this disease.
But there’s one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won’t defeat me It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me
But there’s one thing I know…I can’t rely on my feelings, because feelings change. What God says is fact.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
“Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5
I am believing, and have faith for a physical healing!
It won’t be long…I will soon be saying, “You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.” Psalm 30:11
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryins’ not for me
Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free
Nothings worryin’ me
Even though “Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head,” I’ll keep on praising and worshiping! The Bible says, “God inhabits the praises of his people.” Psalm22:3
I will “Cast all my care upon him.” 1 Peter 5:7
“Because I’m free!” I Can’t be any more free than I am; I’m free in Jesus! “Who the Son sets free is free indeed.” John 8:36
What will worrying accomplish? “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6-7 All is well.
