BLESSINGS


Good morning, afternoon, evening or night!
When do you read this blog? I don't even know. I suppose that some of you read it whenever you can and that may not necessarily be in the morning. But just know that whenever you do get a chance to read this, I really do appreciate it.

And I am going to say it again--God is good all the time-All the time God is good! He is such a great and awesome God and I praise His Holy Name. We had a great Homecoming yesterday at our church. Many people came and the worship was great. A man in the church played the drums with the piano player which he hasn't done since we have been there. We had the band "Just Us" worship with us in music. The choir sang which just started back and doesn't sing every week. A person led the choir from another church. We don't have a choir director. He was great! The food was like a banquet with Jesus. We met some people we hadn't met. The children sang. A child did a solo. It was all awesome! And I praise the Lord!

If we could have blessings like that more often. And in all reality we do. We just don't always think of things that way. But there are too many blessings to count. God has given us more than we can ever imagine. And I want to thank Him so much more than I do. But I just don't know how to thank Him more.

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make
 known among the nations what he has done. 
1 Chronicles 16:8

Now, our God, we give you thanks, 
and praise your glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:13

We can tell God thank you a thousand times but it just seems like there is more we can do because He deserves more. These scriptures help in doing that. But more thanks we can give is loving Him, following Him, trusting Him, and being obedient to Him. And again because HE IS WORTHY!

For great is the LORD and most worthy of 
praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
Psalm 96:4

Let's really praise and thank the Lord as the Thanksgiving season approaches and remember where all we have came from. 

But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will 
sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will 
make good. Salvation comes from the LORD."
Jonah 2:9 

Listen:

Have an abundant 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

Image
  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...
