GOD'S HELP


Hello on this blessed new day!

I pray that you had a wonderful night. We watched a movie on Hallmark called No Higher Love. Oh my! It was one on those movies that really made you cry. It was really good. I told my husband that he shouldn't put a tear-jerker on for me right before church. Then I go to church looking like I have been crying. I guess it really doesn't matter. My church is my family. Then again I went to church and no one even noticed. Yes, a family doesn't look at those kinds of things unless you really need them to. Then, they are really there for you. I thank God for my church family.

 The other night I was feeling kind of sad. I was on my way home about 8:00 PM and a little doggie ran out of the dark into the road right in front of me and I hit it. I didn't even have time to slow down much less stop. I turned around and went back to see about the dog but it wasn't there. I didn't know what to do. 

I called my husband and since he was sick the phone in the bedroom was turned off, so of course he didn't answer. I called my son and he was in the middle of dinner so he couldn't talk. So, there I am a little upset and no one to talk to. So, I just drove home and talked to God. I kept thinking what if the little dog belonged to some little kids or an old person. What have I done? I just kept praying until God gave me some peace. This road is a very busy road. Animals should be in a yard or on a leash not running across the road. I do feel really bad but I gave it to God and apologized to Him countless times. As I said He did give me peace.

God is like that you know. He helps us through the big things and the little things. He loves us so much and wants to help us through all we go through no matter what it might be.
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

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever 
you face trials of many kinds, because you know that 
the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be 
mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4 

 Every test that you have experienced is the kind 
that normally comes to people. But God keeps his 
promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond 
your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to 
the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, 
and so provide you with a way out.
1 Corinthians 10:13

God will help you through it. Keep your eyes on Him. He is the answer.

Have a great 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

Image
  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...
