HIS CREATION

 
Good morning!
I think that I might be sensitive to MSG or something. We had Chinese food two nights in a row and I didn't sleep very well both nights. The first night was at the restaurant but we had lots of left overs. So, we had it again last night. It was so good. But I haven't slept well. The night at the restaurant I couldn't go to sleep at all. But last night I woke up a lot but slept in between. So, maybe it was something I had at the restaurant that I didn't have last night, like egg drop soup. Oh, and it is delicious. Oh, well. Such is life.

We (my husband even went) went to the Smokey Mountains to Cade's Cove yesterday. Oh, it was so beautiful even though cloudy and a little misty. But we didn't have a downpour. Praise the Lord!

There was a lot of people there but not like it could have been. After all it is still summer. School has started here but most all the cars were from out of state and I know that a lot of states start school after Labor Day like we did in California. 

But it turned out to be a beautiful day in God's country. The sun came out. We did see some very large bucks from afar and a couple of bears. Both bears were up in trees and not up close. But it is pretty cool to see God's animals that you usually don't see.

And God said, Let the earth bring 
forth the living creature after his 
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and 
beast of the earth after his kind: and 
it was so. And God made the beast of 
the earth after his kind, and cattle 
after their kind, and every thing 
that creepeth upon the earth after 
his kind: and God saw that it was good. 
Genesis 1:24-25 

I also know that you do see more of those things earlier in the morning and we weren't too early. We also had a picnic lunch in a picnic area along a stream. It was so pretty.

We don't do those kinds of things very often and I love to do it. Maybe we can do them more often as time goes on. And I love to take pictures of God's creation.

 

Can you see the bear? I know it is not too close and I zoomed in on him. But it was pretty cool anyway.

So, whenever you can take the time to visit and see what God has made, it is a good thing. And I thank God for the time to go and the things to see. He is amazing!

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...
