TROUBLE

Thursday 

Good morning!
I hope your day was great yesterday. 

Mine was but I am having trouble with my legs. I have no idea what that could be but it feels like they weigh a ton and they ache all the time. It used to be every once in a while and after a busy day. Now I wake up and they are that way all the time. I have a doctor's appt. this morning. But I don't like going because it seems that most of the time they just guess at the problem and give you meds. And if that doesn't work you go back and they guess again and give you more meds. It is like a vicious circle. 

Maybe there is a circle of life. You know,  life is great and then it is not. Then life is great, then it is not. I guess that is what the ups and downs or mountains and valleys are. Why can't it just be a steady and even life? I guess it would be boring. I like boring. Don't you?

But Jesus said that there would be troubles in life but that He would overcome.

 “I have told you these things, so that in me 
you may have peace. In this world you will 
have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, 
but against the rulers, against the authorities, 
against the powers of this dark world and against 
the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12 

My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26 

"The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears 
them; he delivers them from all their troubles."
Psalm 34:17 

Listen to this! http://youtu.be/l8AB0vUU038

So, God will deliver us from all our trouble. We do need to cry out. But when we do God will deliver us in His time not ours.  
Have you seen this before?

"Be kind. For everyone you 
meet is fighting a battle."

Well, the troubles we go through are a battle. So, when we come across someone who is mean or sad or rude or whatever, remember that. Even though meanness or rudeness are not acceptable, that is the world we live in. But in all reality there is no excuse.

Let's put a smile on our face, trust God, and no matter what trouble we are going through, He is bigger than all this stuff, and He will deliver us when He is ready. And remember that He is in control.

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

KNOW HIM

I took this picture yesterday. It was amazing!   Good morning to you on  this blessed and chilly day! May God fill you with His love and His Spirit. He is awesome! He is miraculous! He is the great I AM! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last! He is our Lord of lords and King of kings. He is my Savior! Is He yours? Jesus is coming back soon. Do you know Him? I am going to share this video with you again. I shared it once before and it is amazing. We can never hear it enough. And if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, listen very carefully. That's My King Dr. S.M. Lockridge This video says it all! If you don't know Him, get to know Him. Read God's Word. Fellowship with other believers in church and out of church. Talk to Him in prayer.  Now I am not saying that believers are perfect but far from it. We are all on a journey to know Him better. Churches are not a hotel for saints, but a hospital

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
