HIGH HILLS

 
 
Good morning on this great new day!
 
I pray that you had a good night. Well, I slept great but was in pain. I got too much sun on the beach yesterday. I got fried like an egg. And the worst part is that I know better. I didn't put sun block on right away because I wanted a little color. But waited a while and I guess that little while turned out to be too long a while. If you know what I mean. It was such an awesome gorgeous day. Hardly any clouds in the sky. About 87 degrees. A little less humidity than usual. The water was so pretty. We just didn't want to leave the beach. 

We spent 3 1/2 hours digging deep in the sand looking for sea shells. I love doing that. It is so relaxing to me. Sea shells are just one of God's great and amazing creations.

Just like everything else, God will help us through the sunburn pain. He has helped us through so much. He is good and great and awesome and wonderful and I can't praise Him enough. 

We also did some watercolor painting when we got home from the beach last night. I am not very good but it is fun to do. And even though there are techniques, I don't know too many of them. I take a class every week, but I don't seem to have learned much. But maybe I just don't remember what I learned. My daughter and I were both doing beach scenes. 
 
I don't really know what it is that I love about the beach but I love it. Maybe because I was born in a beach city of Los Angeles and never lived very far from the beach until I got married. I went to the beach almost every day of my summers after I got my driver's license. And at that point we were probably 20 miles away. My mother also loved the beach. And she was born in the same hospital as I was. When I was just a girl my grandparents lived in a house my grandfather built high above the ocean in Malibu, CA. Boy, what a view!


The Lord God is my strength; He 
will make my feet like deer’s feet,
 And He will make me walk on my high hills.
Habakkuk 3:19 
 
Well, I walked a little on the high hill in Malibu, but now I walk with Jesus, at least I try, on the high hills of His greatness and majesty. And during our lives we walk over high hills and into the low valleys and God guides us through them all. 


For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
Psalm 48:14

So, just follow Him and let Him be your guide all the days of your life.
 
Have a fantastic day!

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

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...
