GOD'S BEAUTY





My husband took this sunset picture 
last night on the dinner cruise!





Good morning on this bright and sunny day!
Well, our friends left us this morning for home. They have things to do and places to go as pastors. Out of the 3 couples we had 4 pastors. I am just very glad that they were able to stay as long as they did. We had a great time with them. Now it is just my husband and I left to our own devices. We walked to the dock and took pictures of the sun coming up over the trees and the water and such this morning.

Today we will probably hook up with our son and family who are also vacationing here on the other side of the island. It is supposed to get up to 81* today. It should be really gorgeous today. I am sure at before 9 am people are already flocking to the beach. It got really crowded yesterday. I thought at this time of year it would be less crowded but it is fall break for lots of people in schools.

We had a dinner cruise last night. That was really fun and it was gorgeous also. They saw dolphins and such but whenever they saw them people were in the way and I didn't get to see them. They are such a beautiful, graceful animal that God has created. Hallelujah! 

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And
 there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31

He has made every thing beautiful in his time: 
also he has set the world in their heart, so that 
no man can find out the work that God 
makes from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined.
Psalm 50:2

The beauty of the Lord is amazing. Not only His creation but Himself.

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17  

I want to share something with you from J. R. Miller: "One other feature of the beauty of the Lord, as worn by His children on the earth—is moral purity. Christ's benediction is for the pure in heart. Bodily health is beautiful, mental ability is beautiful—but heart purity is the charm of all. All spiritual loveliness begins within. That the beauty of the Lord our God may be on us, that the winning charm of God's loveliness may shine in the features of our lives which men can see—we must first have the divine beauty within us. A holy heart will in time transfigure all the life. And the only way to have a holy heart—is to have Christ within!"

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

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
