OUR NEEDS

Good morning on this extra fine day!

God is so good all the time. I was blessed to spend the day and night with my grandsons. I have always known that there is a reason why young people have children. Well, I was reminded of that. I was in heaven but really worn out. Two little boys have more energy than a whole classroom of kids. And I loved every second of it!

But I will tell you this. I didn't sleep well at all. I went to sleep fine because I was really tired. But I woke up about 6 times to go the the bathroom. Most of them I went back to sleep. But several of them I layed there awhile and when I woke up at 5 am I never did go back to sleep. Ugh! Now I am really tired. And I have to drive home. God will get me home safely. 

God provides everything we need for what He wants us to do. He supplies all our needs whether physical or material. He knows what we need even before we ask.

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
This is the confidence we have in 
approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14
Therefore do not be like them. For 
your Father knows the things you have 
need of before you ask Him.
Matthew 6:8  
Wow! God knows what we need even before we ask Him. So, why do we need to ask if He already knows? Well, first He wants us to depend on Him, not take Him for granted. Remember we are to have a personal relationship with Him and that means sharing all our wants and needs and lives with Him, talking to Him, fellowshipping with Him. That is like going to the grocery store. They know we need food, that is why they sell it. But if we don't go in and get it (ask for it) we won't get it. I don't know if my analogy is correct but maybe you get the picture.
So, let's ask God in prayer for other's needs and our needs and then trust Him to meet those needs. The answer may be yes or no or later. They are all answers. It is His will and His time that counts. Not ours.
So, let's trust God today and just maybe He will give us the desires of our heart.
Have a wonderful 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...
