GROWING


Good morning to you!
Did you get to see any of the meteor shower last night? The last two nights were supposed to be the best nights to see the shower. I really would have liked to see it. But the people that saw the shower saw it in the middle of the night and the sky was clear. And I didn't really want to sit in a lawn chair outside in the middle of the night. And of course, it has rained so much. So, I didn't, but many people did and saw some of the most fantastic wonders of the universe that God created.

Our God created so much more than we will ever see. And I want to see as much as I can. I guess that is why I like to travel so much. And God willing maybe someday I will get to see much more of God's country.

And God said, “Let the water under 
the sky be gathered to one place, 
and let dry ground appear.”
 And it was so. God called the 
dry ground “land,” and the 
gathered waters he called “seas.” 
And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:9-10 

And God saw that it was good. God's creation was very good. Just look outside your door and I am sure that you could find something that God created that is very beautiful. Whether it is the blue sky and clouds, the mountains, the green of the trees and the plants, the beautiful flowers, or the crops in the field. God created it all. I know that we plant the seeds in the field but God waters it and makes it grow. 

God's seed is planted in us through Jesus Christ. Then God waters us with His Word and makes us grow. We have to be willing to receive and do a little watering ourselves(by praying and studying God's Word) but when we do we grow and grow in the love and grace of Jesus. Oh, how I want to grow in Christ and I hope that you do also.  

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...
