NOTHING

 
 
Good morning this great Saturday morning!

The sun is shining in the sunshine state of Florida. It only rained yesterday before daylight. Praise the Lord! Rain is very good just not all the time or not every day. I did go to the beach yesterday for about 30 minutes. I put money in the parking meter for 40 minutes but then my daughter called and said that she would be home from her teacher training two hours earlier than she was supposed to. And I was to be ready to leave when she picked me up to take two other teachers home. Oh my! I had to go to the store, get back to the house,  and get ready. I got back to the house 45 minutes before she got there. I raced around to get ready quick and I was ready when she got here. Whew!

I don't know what it is but I always seem to be racing to get somewhere. I seem to get so sidetracked no matter what I do, and then have to very hurriedly get ready for whatever I have to do. I have somehow lost my focus. Maybe it is because I don't have a regular job where I have to be there at a certain time. Or maybe it is my age. I am not getting any younger. I don't know but I really need to work on that. But as I have said before nothing is impossible with God. And: 
 
I can do all things through Christ 
who strengthens me. 
Philippians 4:13

And I will add something else to correspond with that great Bible verse. My daughter and son-in-law are having the FHA inspection on their house on Monday. So, something that didn't get finished when he was still home was the ceiling was not finished painting. He and a friend started painting it and couldn't reach the whole thing. So, we get to paint a ceiling that is 25 feet tall. We will put a ladder on the 2nd floor and lean over the stairway and reach with a 12 foot pole and paint the rest of the ceiling. Oh, my! Remember:
 
For with God nothing will be impossible.”  
Luke 1:37

Oh my! So, here we go. We definitely will have to trust God and His Word today and the next two days in order to accomplish what we have to do. I am so glad that I am here to help. Pray for us and for our safety!

God is with us all!

Have a wonderful 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...
