TALK TO GOD



Good morning!
How are you this fine day? I pray that you have been blessed beyond imagination because we all have but sometimes we just don't realize it. 

It has been really cold here especially in the mornings. It was only 22* here several mornings and in the day maybe high 30's to low 40's. Although I know it is much colder in other places like -2* in Chicago yesterday. Brrrrr! I am glad I am here and not there. But I guess it is okay if you don't have to go anywhere. But if you work then you do have to go out. I am spoiled when I don't have to go out because I love staying home.

Well, it is getting closer to Christmas. Are you ready? I am definitely not ready. The end of the renovation is getting closer but the last few days will be extremely busy moving furniture and such so that everything is in its place. And then I will have to clean it all. So, the last week before Christmas is going to definitely be crunch time.

 Do people ever give you the cold shoulder? Sometimes people will just interrupt you or change the subject or walk away when you are in the middle of a conversation with them. It happened to me yesterday. I was telling someone about something that happened to me recently and it happened. I am not that big of a talker so I don't ramble on. I don't think I am a loud or obnoxious person but maybe I am. I guess what I was talking about was boring. Anyway, it happened. The other person just turned and started to talk to someone else.

 It kind of makes me not want to talk to anyone. I was always a shy person when I was a lot younger especially in school. So, I have come a long way. And I guess I am still kind of shy with people I don't know. But God made us who we are. And He won't turn away from us when we talk to Him. He will always be there to talk to and if we listen He will talk to us through His Word and His still small voice. And He will listen to us as long as we want to talk to Him. He loves it when we talk to Him and nothing we say is ever boring or unimportant to Him. And when we talk to Him in this way in prayer, He always answers. Now the answer might be yes, no, maybe, or wait. But He will answer. And if the answer is no, then He has something even better for us.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present 
your requests to God. And the peace of God, 
which transcends all understanding, will guard 
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
Philippians 4:6-7 

God, who has called you into fellowship with 
his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
1 Corinthians 1:9

So, talk to God. Be in fellowship with Him. You can't go wrong. And He will never leave you and will always listen.

Have a beautiful 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

  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...
