HELP OTHERS

 

Good morning on this blessed Wednesday!
I pray that you had a great day yesterday. I sure did. I am praising God for His great blessings and plans. He is so great and greatly to be praised. He is an awesome God!

This has been an extremely busy and a little stressful few weeks. But God knows these things and knows exactly what we need when we need it. He knows our hearts. He knows our minds. He knows everything. And He certainly knows when we don't keep our focus on Him.

I pray that in the next week especially that you would keep your heart and mind focused on Jesus because without Him we would not have Christ-mas! Also, there are always many people hurting at this time of the year, so pray for them and do what you can to help them. We will always have "others" in our lives, so let us focus on Jesus and help others no matter who they are.  They can be family, friends, or acquaintances, or someone we don't even know.  But God wants us to: 

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with 
all your soul and with all your mind and with all your 
strength.'  The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 
Mark 12:30-31

So, that is pretty important to help others. That is part of the greatest commandment. Let's do it especially now when people's hearts are softer. Christmas is not about ourselves. It is all about Jesus!

Let's celebrate the Birthday of the King in our hearts and tell others about Him!

Have an excellent day!

Love,
       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...
