LIVING



Good morning to you this fine Sabbath Day!

It was so great to sleep in my own bed and not my air mattress. But the funny thing is, all the work and cleaning we did and whatever else, God took care of my back. It didn't hurt the whole time I was gone. Praise God I got home safely but when I woke up this morning from my own bed my back hurt some. Ugh! Go figure!

I had a scare yesterday somewhere on the interstate in South Georgia, I believe. I was driving along next to a big truck trying to get past him and he had a blowout. Oh my gosh! It scared the bejeebers out of me. I thought someone shot me. My husband said that I was protected because big pieces of tire could have hit my car and no telling what could have happened. Praise God for His divine protection! He is so good and great and awesome and I want to live for Him all the days of my life.

My husband did a lot of yard work while I was gone. We had a lot of overgrowth that we had let go and with all the rain it was crazy. The outer edges of our yard were starting to close in on us. We still have about 4 huge trees that are growing up to our deck that need to be taken down. But that takes more than one person and a big chainsaw. One day soon I hope that can be done. But he just reached the tip of the iceberg in the yard. But time and energy are so limited. We are not getting any younger.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; 
he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
John 11:25

But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for 
sound doctrine. Older men are to be temperate, 
dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. 
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their 
behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to 
much wine, teaching what is good, that they may 
encourage the young women to love their husbands,
 to love their children, [to be] sensible, pure, workers 
 at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, 
that the word of God may not be dishonored. Likewise 
urge the young men to be sensible; in all things show 
yourself to be an example of good deeds, [with] purity 
in doctrine, dignified, sound [in] speech which is beyond 
reproach, in order that the opponent may be put 
to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
Titus 2:1-8 

So, let us heed God's Word. In other words, let's just do it! God will even help us with that.
Have a blessed 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...
