Well, how do you start your blog? First of all, I want you to know that I have been praying for God to somehow use me ever since I resigned from my job in May. I have felt lonely, lost, unworthy and many things since then. A lot happened at that time. My Dad and Step mom, moved to another state after being next door for about 15 years. My Avon manager of many years was changed as well as my district. My husband gave up pastoring a church of 4 years so we lost our church family although we gained our home church family back. Praise the Lord for that! There were a few more things that happened at the same time but my memory has escaped me. Maybe that is for the best because I might get depressed again. Which I did go through a time of feeling really down. The doctor wanted me to take anti-depressants so I took the prescription but never got it filled. I decided to let God work in me. I will never be perfect and am so far from it but you know what? God is good all the time and all the time God is good. I have to depend on and trust Him completely. So, in my imperfection I do the best I know how, which I pray gets better every day.

I have been writing in a journal for many, many years. These books are filled with my prayer requests, wants, and needs in prayer form to the Lord, my God. Sometimes I go back and read some days entries to see what God has done and how my prayers have been answered, or not. So, I keep praying and journalling and try to wait on the Lord the best I can. Because you know what? He will never leave us or forsake us, always hears us, is always there for us, and most important, He will always love us. You can take that to the bank! 

As time goes on I will tell you bits and pieces of what God has done for me in my life. You may know some of these things but you may not. You may get bored with this but you may not. But God told me this morning what I can do at this time in my life for Him. I was praying "Lord what can I do for you? How can I help people?" I heard Him say in my spirit "Write a blog." Oh no Lord! I can't do that. "Yes, you can. Do it for me. I will help you." So, here I am trying to do what He said. I will try to bring some love and encouragement to you everyday from our Savior. Some days I may be long-winded. Some days I may be short but I hope to bring you what God wants. 

   Here is a beautiful picture of the fall trees in our area.

So, now I will go exercise and try to obtain my optimum health for my temple.

Thanks for reading. And remember Jesus loves you forever and for always!

May God bless you and keep you and give you peace! From Numbers 6:24-26.

Blessings,     Les    (lesbear)

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
