GOD IS GREAT

 Good morning on this great day 
which the Lord has made!

It rained again. I poured for a little bit just after 6 PM last night and then again very early this morning. We are in that weather pattern again with rain almost every day, very humid, and as I said before, not so hot. That's the part I like. But when it is 75* and 90% humidity it is still hot. That is one thing I miss about the west, the very dry air. The difference is amazing.

And it is a very busy time again. This week as I mentioned a few days ago is crazy. I love the VBS part every night. Tonight is the commencement program. And my parents are coming from out of state. And that's a great part of it. And I sell Avon and I have to bag up and deliver this week. But it is all the other stuff I have to do to prepare for all of the above. The cleaning is the biggie. I wish my house was perfect all the time. It is not dirty just messy. My husband and I are not the best at putting everything in its place when we are done with it. So, I get to put everything away and in its place (somewhere) and then I can clean. Ugh! That part I think I got done. Then we have a pizza dinner at the church but I get to cook dinner for the family here also. I did a crock pot roast. And then I will have to finish the rest later on. So, my day and week has gone.

Even in the busy, stressful times we need to just depend on God and trust Him, even when we make our own busyness and stress. I can't wait until vacation time in October when I can rest. I am more than ready.
But in the meantime I can just rest in the Lord. May He give you and me the peace that passeth all understanding and comfort when we need it and the love that only He can give. And then may He give us rest.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all 
understanding, will guard your hearts
 and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
Blessed be the God and Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies
 and God of all comfort, who comforts us in
 all our tribulation, that we may be able to
 comfort those who are in any trouble,
 with the comfort with which we 
ourselves are comforted by God. 
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Know therefore that the LORD your 
God is God; he is the faithful God, 
keeping his covenant of love to a 
thousand generations of those who
 love him and keep his commands. 
Deuteronomy 7:9
 Come to me, all who labor and are 
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
Matthew 11:28 
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...
