Hello and good morning! I believe that we should have slept well after eating all the delectable food that we had on Thanksgiving Day. And I sure did! Wow! What a spread. 
Of course, we had turkey and dressing, gravy, green bean casserole, hash brown casserole, corn casserole, mac & cheese, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, 2 cranberry salads, rolls, and I believe even more than that. Plus we had apple pie, pumpkin-cheese pie, and pumpkin bread. Oh it was all delicious and we had enough for an army. We are so thankful for the wonderful meal and the hands that prepared it all. God is so good to us!

Now today is Black Friday. Ugh! Most everyone and their mother's brothers were out shopping at 7 PM on Thanksgiving night. Some of the stores started early this year which is good for the shopper because they didn't have to get out at 5 AM. But it isn't so good for the employees at the stores. They had to eat a wonderful meal (which always makes you sleepy) and then go to work. But we certainly should be thankful these days to have a job. So, I guess it is good all the way around. 

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” 
Psalm 100:4-5

The Psalms are so wonderful and so full of praise for God. Read the Psalms when you want to be lifted up and refreshed. Read God's Word and be renewed. Read about Him and feel His presence. Sing His praise and songs and hymns and glorify His name in all the earth. 

Remember this praise song:
 
O, magnify the Lord 
    
For He is worthy to be praised  

O, magnify the Lord 
    
For He is worthy to be praised  
  
Hosanna, blessed be the Rock
  
Blessed be the Rock of my salvation
   
Hosanna, blessed be the Rock
 
Blessed be the Rock of my salvation
 
We haven't sung that in years but what a great song. We should definitely 
magnify the Lord for He is worthy to by praised. 
 
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, 
my shield  and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 
Psalm 18:2


Oh, hallelujah, praise the Lord!
 
Well, enjoy your day and remember Jesus is your best Friend 
and will never leave you. 
 
Blessings!

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...
