HEAVEN

 
Heaven on earth!!

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.
Deuteronomy 4:39
 
Good morning to you on this wonderful Saturday!

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.
2 Thessalonians 1:3

How are you this day? Have you every wondered how some people can love so much and then why others are so evil and have no love in there hearts? There are certainly a lot of bad things that go on in the world. Of course, sometimes we don't want to know exactly what goes on because it just breaks our hearts. Just read the paper and you can see things that are bad happening all the time.

We think that Adam and Eve caused it all. They did make a choice to eat the forbidden fruit. And the people who do evil now make the choices they do also. God gave us all a choice in life whether to be good or bad, to love Him or not to love Him, to sin or not to sin. We choose to sin everyday. We are not perfect.

But God gave us a way out by sending Jesus to die on a cross for our sins. Some of us choose to give our lives to Jesus and follow Him and some  of us don't. 

God could stop the evil in the world if He wanted to but He lets it happen. Why I don't know! But that is the way it is. And in all reality He knows what is best. He could turn the world upside down and turn it into the garden of Eden again if He wanted to. And actually that is really what is going to happen when Jesus comes back. He will take His people who love and believe in Him to heaven to live with Him for eternity and then cleanse the earth. Oh, what a glorious day that will be when we live in heaven with Jesus, with Him as our King, in perfect harmony and love for each other. We will be loving and serving Jesus and dancing and singing and praising and worshiping Him forever and ever. I can't wait! How about you?

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
Revelation 5:13

As we spend each day preparing for Jesus's return, may we worship our God and pray for this world. It certainly needs a touch from our Heavenly Father.

Have a totally awesome day!

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

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...
