HIS COMPASSION

Good morning to you!
How are you this fine day? I am at a women's retreat. It has been awesome and I praise God for the great things He does. His compassions are new every morning.

When we drove up to Sevierville today we came through Townsend, TN. There was snow all over the mountains and then in Wears Valley there was snow. It was so pretty. It is not necessarily the fastest way to get there but it is by far the prettiest. We ate supper at Red Lobster since the place we are staying is right near there and we could walk. The air is very cool and crisp and it is supposed to be much warmer tomorrow and the sun is supposed to shine bright all day. I am excited for that. When we come to this retreat every year it seems to always be raining. 

But God is so awesome and wonderful and is so faithful. His compassions are new every morning.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24

God will fill you to overflowing with Himself if you will let Him. Just wait for Him. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. If we would only keep our eyes on Him and not focus on our troubles. It is so easy to focus on those things that weigh on our hearts. We should pray about them and give them to God, knowing that He is in control. And we should not take them back from Him. When we take them back, we are an indian-giver. Not really! But it is really hard not to take them back. I remember as a kid when we would give something away and try to take it back, that is what the other kids would call us. Anyway, when we give it to God, don't take it back. Let Him take care of it. He is faithful and loving and wants to help us with it. He wants to know that we trust Him. His compassions never fail.

Oh, my friend, God loves you. He sent His one and only Son to die on a cross for our sins. But Jesus defeated death by rising again. HE LIVES! HE LIVES!

 I hope and pray that you believe that deep down in your heart. Just wait for Jesus and keep your eyes on Him.

 Have a fantastic 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...
