“Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout 
aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come 
before him with thanksgiving
 and extol him with music and song.”
Psalm 95:1-2

Good morning! Did you have a good night's sleep? I did. I praise God for His goodness. He is mighty to save!

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. 
He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you 
with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

Aren't His Words amazing? If we can't get peace from His Word, we are not reading it and meditating on it because as I said, it is "Amazing."

Well, are you getting ready for Thanksgiving? Cleaning your house, thinking about your menu, buying groceries for the scrumptious food, making travel plans, or already traveling! Wow! It is a busy time. Please take the time also to give thanks to God. Sometimes we forget in all the hustle and bustle to give thanks. 

It won't get less busy after Thanksgiving but more busy preparing for the Birth of Jesus Celebration, Christmas. With all the preparations like cleaning, decorating, shopping for gifts or making things, parties to go to, special church services, plays, children's programs, trying to spend time with friends and family, and more. I am getting tired just thinking about it all. Aren't you? 

Just give thanks in it and through it all. Because God is worthy and deserves more than we can give. Let us sing for joy. Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song. Because your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you and He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Oh my! How can we not take great delight in these things?

And this is only a small part of what He can do. Read His Word and glean all you can from it. It is awesome and He is greatly to be praised. 

Have a thankful day!

May God bless you,

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...
