ASLEEP


Good morning!
How are you this fine new day? Praise God for His many awesome blessings that He gives us every single day. 

I fell asleep with the computer on my lap at 8:30 last night. My days seem to be so full that by 7 or so in the evening my eyes seem to start to close whether I am across the room from the TV, behind a book or newspaper, or in the front of the computer screen. My eyes just don't want to stay open. I claim that as a blessing from God since I have never been a good sleeper. I have always been a very light sleeper. And when I am not in my own bed sometimes I don't sleep much at all.  

The last 6 months or so I have been a great sleeper. At least at home anyway. God has shown me that Black Cherry concentrate works great. Found it in one of my supplement books. I just drink one ounce in the evening and counting sheep is a breeze. I praise God for His many blessings.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, 
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:20 

So, Jesus Christ arose from the dead, and He was the very first of those who have died or fallen asleep and risen. And because He was the first to rise, then we will follow Him and rise up to join Him and live with Him in heaven for eternity. So, if we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior we have this promise ahead of us.

It is hard for me to think that in the Bible the word sleep has to do with death but as a Christian we fall asleep but our souls rise to meet Jesus. I want to live with Him for eternity. I hope and pray that you do also.

Have a first-rate day,

Les (lesbear)

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...
