PEOPLE NEED THE LORD








Fall leaves, Athens, TN





Good morning on this great, cool morning!
This is the coolest morning so far this fall but it is going to get frosty this coming week. Hallelujah!
I had a really hard time falling asleep last night. I prayed and sang and counted and recited and finally I went to sleep. And I didn't even have any caffeine yesterday. Well, maybe a couple of mg. in my little square of chocolate in the early morning. But I do that every day and it isn't enough to bother me. I don't like being sensitive to caffeine one little bit. It puts such a damper on what I can drink. I love to drink fresh brewed restaurant unsweet tea but haven't had it in a year maybe because of what it does to me. At home I drink decaf. Caffeine affects my sleep and we can't have that. I need my sleep to live my life like I should. I try anyway!

Oh Lord, help me not to have to deal with that but it is not about me and it is all about you. Help me to always remember that. Help me Lord to not focus on the things that do not benefit me eternally.

We should turn our eyes upon Jesus especially when the things of life drive us crazy and we focus on them instead of the truly important things of God.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, 
whatever is noble, whatever is right,  
whatever is pure, whatever is 
lovely, whatever is admirable--
if anything is excellent or praise-
worthy--think about such things.
Philippians 4:8

These are the important things. These are the godly things that God wants us to dwell on, to think about. Because He is truly the most important One in our lives. Living for Him is the most important thing in our lives.

It truly breaks my heart to think about the people that don't have Jesus in their lives to think about and dwell on. Oh my, how lost they truly are! Let's pray for them. Let's get on our knees and truly lift them up to our great and awesome God because they really need Him. People need the Lord!

Here is the song:


Have a tremendous 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...
