GOD'S GIFTS

 Creation Museum, Petersburg, KY
 
 Good morning on this great Saturday!

How are you this morning? I am great. We had a great time at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY, just south of Cincinnati. Every Christian needs to go. And every Christian needs to talk someone who is not a Christian into going. It just might change their mind about what they believe. It just might change our minds about what we believe or it might cement in concrete what we believe. It is an amazing place. 

The last thing we did yesterday was listen to an actor, Matthew Moore, who tells scripture word for word from memory into a story. Wow! It was awesome. This one we experienced was called Paul. He dramatized parts of the book of Acts and some of the Epistles. It kept you spellbound. And boy was he good. And he travels to churches to do this. He also enacts John, and King David.

His brochure says "SEE. HEAR. EXPERIENCE THE WORD OF GOD in three powerful performances!" He is not dressed in any costume. One thing he does is change his voice for whomever he is quoting scripture. It is really something to see. Matthew Moore has a "driving passion to help you experience the Bible in a whole new way." What amazes me is this is all from memory and word for word. I guess actors do memorize their lines but this man is the only actor and has all 35 minutes or so of it in his head and his heart. This is a true gift from God!
 
I thought that I might get bored or sleepy but definitely not. Do you know that we all have gifts and such from God? We may not know what it is yet but some day we will find it. And when we do, watch out, here we come. 

Every good and perfect gift is from above, 
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, 
who does not change like shifting shadows. 
James 1:17
 
Read Romans 12:3-11 when you have time.
 
"We have all been given different talents, gifts, abilities. God works in different ways through each of us, and we all serve him faithfully as we use our gifts to glorify him. We should invest the gifts that God has blessed us with wisely. We should use our gifts and abilities to honor God and to bless, encourage and strengthen others in love (without love, all our gifts are nothing!). We should not neglect our gifts, but instead develop them, “stir them up”, “fan them into flames”… so that they get even better, to the edification of the church and to the glory of God. " from JollyNotes.com

So, read about and embrace the gifts that God has given you and use them for His honor and glory. And praise Him and worship Him always.

Have an awesome 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...
