THANK YOU


Good morning!
I am a little late today. I was making Pumpkin Bread and other such things for the day before Thanksgiving. I do have to go out and work today. It is going to be 32* for the high and 10-15 mph winds. Ugh!! All I want to do is stay home but if I don't go out today then Friday will be an extremely busy day. And I don't want it to be that busy. After all it is the day after Thanksgiving.

So, tomorrow is officially the first day of the Thanksgiving/Christmas season for 2013. And then before you know it, it will be the new year. Oh, Lord, help us to love and enjoy the holidays and let us not be stressed and to keep our focus on Jesus, Who is the reason for the season. 

We will not be with family tomorrow unfortunately because it just didn't work out. Our daughter and son-in-law live too far away and our son and daughter-in-law and grandsons had other family to be with. We are having some other people to be with and give thanks with. I tried to invite more people but they had plans. It will be the first time that we have not had Thanksgiving with family. It is kind of sad in a way and breaks my heart but we will have a blessed time with friends. God has blessed us with other people to be with.

So, especially tomorrow remember to give thanks profusely to the One Who gave us everything in our lives that is good and great and awesome. May you have a day filled with love and blessings.

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his 
name; make his deeds known to all people!
1 Chronicles 16:8

Give thanks to the LORD because he is 
good, because his faithful love endures forever.
1 Chronicles 16:34 

Whatever you do, whether in speech or action, 
do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus 
and give thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

Give thanks in every situation because 
this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Praise God for giving us Jesus, Who is our Savior, our King of kings and Lord of lords.

Have an awesome day!

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

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...
