HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY



Good morning to you on this wonderful Mother's Day!
She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness,
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
Proverbs 31:27-28
 
Call your mother and tell her you love her. Tell her that she is amazing. I would give anything to be able to call my mother and tell her those things. I miss her so much. She passed away in Nov. 2005 of strokes. When she had her first one, she didn't have the will to live in the end. The therapy and life, I guess, was just too much for her. But she had more strokes. The quality of life just isn't the same at that point. She was a different person. 

My Mom was vibrant and fun. She loved to dress up in costume like dress and do crazy things for different occasions. At least my step-father thought she was crazy. I thought she just loved to have fun.

Mothers! They take care of us, even when we are older. Once a mother, always a mother. They teach us. I am the way I am because of my mother. And they love us. No one can love like a mother. Except Jesus Christ and He loves us so much more. 

 The Bible says:
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; 
and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.  
He who does not love does not know God, for God is 
love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us,
 that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, 
that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that 
we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be
 the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so
 loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:7-11 

God's love is unconditional. I looked for a specific verse and couldn't find just one. There were so many that tell us of God's love for us and how great it is. We are to love one another. And mother's do that so well and, I believe, love us unconditionally. 


God’s Love is Like a Mother’s Love. God said in Isaiah 66:13,  “As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you.”

So, love your mother and tell her how you feel. She needs to hear that. She needs to hear your voice. She needs to hear how you are doing even if it isn't any different than last week or last month. Show her you care. She deserves it. 

Have a blessed Mother's Day! Even if you are a father or don't have any children because I am sure somewhere along the way you have impacted a child.

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...
