ALL ABOUT HIM




My watercolor. 
Don't think it is 
very good but
I like it none 
the  less.



Good morning to you this Sabbath Day!

May God fill you with 
His love and peace!




To those who have been called, who are 
loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
Jude 1b-2

Yesterday was a great day. It was a strange day though. At least for me. Since my Dad and Step-Mom left, I have felt weird, restless, bored or something. I don't know why. Except I told my Dad when they left that it seems that I am always saying good-bye. But it is not good-bye, it is see you later.

But then I always have the thought, will I really see him later? I mean he is 84 years old. I just have to trust God and know that whatever His will is, I will depend on Him no matter what. That doesn't make it any easier but it normally gives me a sense of peace. But I do have some sort of anxiousness in me for some reason. 

Maybe it is just that I enjoyed them being here so much. It is kind of like Christmas. You spend days, weeks and months preparing, decorating, shopping, and wrapping. Then, in a couple of hours it is all over. Or maybe it is more like a wedding. It takes months to prepare and then in 20 minutes or so it is all over. 

Maybe I am overreacting or something. I just miss my folks so much. But they are in God's care. And I give it to Him and know that He will hear my prayers and answer them. And just maybe I will go visit them in a month or so. And I will talk to them on the phone.

When we talk to God, we can't call Him on the phone. It amazes me that billions of people can talk to God at the same time and He hears them all.

Cast all your anxiety on him 
because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 

Therefore confess your sins to 
each other and pray for each
 other so that you may be healed. 
The prayer of a righteous person
 is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

And when we talk to God, we draw closer to Him.

 Draw near to God and He 
will draw near to you. 
James 4:8a

I do want to draw closer to Him. I want to be so close that my ways and thoughts are His. I know that won't happen here on  earth, but I can strive for it. And in order to do that I have to talk to Him without ceasing, read and study His Word always, and praise, worship and thank Him as often as I can. That is what I want my life to be like. How about you?

Have a wonderful Sunday!

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...
