HIS PLAN

DESCRIPTION: Father and son looking at stars CAPTION: LOOK HOW MANY BABY JESUSES THERE ARE ... HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHICH STAR TO FOLLOW?
Good morning to you! Only 3 more days until Christmas. And the excitement builds. And the drama unfolds.

Have you ever had the unexpected happen? I am sure we all have. It can make you sad. It can make you happy. It can make you glad. It can make you cry. It can make you mad. It can really hurt you. But you know what? We have to depend on God and know that, as my husband reminded me, that all things work together for good to those who love God.

And we know that in all things God works for 
the good of those who love him, who have 
been called according to his purpose. 
Romans 8:28

Even though that is the right answer, sometimes we don't want to hear it. We want things our way. But things don't always go the way we want them to. And that is okay. I mean they don't feel okay but, I guess, in the grand scheme of things they are okay. 

We know that God's way is always best. As I said once before, He sees the big picture. He has a grand plan for us and for our loved ones.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares 
the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to 
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
So, as the birthday of Jesus, the Christ, arrives let's "let go and let God". Let's let Him make the plans, and then let them happen His way, let Him work in our lives. Let's trust Him and depend on Him to lead, guide, and direct us along His path. 

Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up 
to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the 
God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that 
we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out 
from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isaiah 2:3
...he refreshes my soul. He guides me along 
the right paths for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23:3

We shall trust the Name of the Lord and walk His ways and He will be very pleased. He will refresh our soul. He will prosper us and give us hope and a future. What could be better than that?

Have an awesome day!

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...
