GLORIOUS


Good morning to you on this blessed Monday!
I pray that all is well with you. I also hope that you had a wonderful weekend and for all the Dad's a wonderful Father's Day.

Yesterday was also my daughter and son-in-law's 6th anniversary as well as a friend of mine. What a blessed day!

I am afraid that I had a melt-down yesterday afternoon. I was just so tired and a little stressed. I should know better than to work on something important when I am tired. And my poor husband gets the awful experience. We have been married 37 years last month and how the man puts up with me is a miracle. And for both my husband and myself:

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is
 impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 
Matthew 19:26

It is only by the grace of God that we get through life and all its ups and downs. During the downs, I get down and can get negative. It seems to be when I am really tired. I certainly don't want to be that way. I have always been a pretty positive person but as I get older things seem to get me down more and I am more tired. But with God's help I can do this. I can do life with all its temptations and ups and downs.

I want to be like Christ. I need to spend more time in His Word, reading, studying, and praying. When I do that and really seek Him, I will get there one day at a time. Sometimes I pray and ask God to make me a better Christian woman, better wife, better mother, better Grammie, better daughter, etc. I haven't arrived and I know I won't until I see Jesus in Heaven. And when that day comes I will be that better person that God has called me to be. I will be praising and worshiping Him every second of every day. I will be rejoicing and thanking Him at the same time. And the things of today will be no more.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 
“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
 and He will dwell with them, and they shall be 
His people. God Himself will be with them and be 
their God. And God will wipe away every tear 
from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor 
sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for 
the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:3-4 

Oh, what a glorious day that will be when Jesus splits the skies and we see Him as He is, and He will take us away to His Kingdom and we will live with Him for eternity.
Are you ready? Think about it!

Have a glorious 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...
