HE MEETS US

 
Good morning to you on another rainy day!

We are in the rainy pattern again with a middle of the road chance of rain again, but cooler days. I had a conversation last night about that. I don't know how the autumn is going to be but with the strange summer weather it could be strange also. We could have summer in the fall and go straight to winter. Or we could have beautiful fall weather. Or we could go straight to winter. Or we could continue to have rainy cool weather all the way to winter. Whatever God gives us will be fine because that is the way it is. Only God can make it perfect. And if He chooses not to then so be it.

Went to a picnic last night. It poured and we had it inside. Thank God there was an inside. Met many people and talked to many people and didn't know most of the people. Isn't that how it is? We go somewhere and don't know most of the people. Thank God we knew a few.

I did a crazy thing last night. I do crazy things a lot. I had people depending on me to do something and I did do it but then I forgot to tell them the password and they couldn't get in. Actually I wrote the password down and left it there but then got sidetracked and didn't call and tell them where I left it. It started pouring down rain and other things and I just plain forgot the all important phone call I was to make. Lord help me!

Why do we do crazy things? Maybe it is just me. But I have heard other people say that when you get older and too busy for your own good, then you do things like that. I can't wait to see what I do when I get even older. God help us all!

And that is the point, we have to depend on God for our every little need and want. He helps us with every moment of every day. If we ask Him! If we let Him! If we love Him! If we trust Him!

Do you? Do you do all those things? Do you talk to Him? Do you listen to Him? Do you let Him help you or do you just go ahead and do it your own way? Do you love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? Do you trust Him enough to let Him have full reign in your life?

I am trying to do all those things. It isn't easy! But all we can do is try as hard as we can and do the best that we can. God knows our hearts. He knows where we are and He meets us there.

 But from there you will seek the Lord 
your God and you will find him, if 
you search after him with all your 
heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29
 
Have a fabulous 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...
