GETAWAY

    I wanna go there! Oh yes, I guess I just was.

Good morning!
Well, we got out yesterday. My husband did get to go to work. When he got home from work he took me out to do some things I needed to do. There was a lot of snowy, icy spots. But if you drive slow and don't brake and don't turn your wheel quickly then you were fine. I am just glad that he took me out and I didn't have to drive myself. I am one who would brake at every ice spot and drive too slow. My husband says that when you slow down on the ice that sometimes you lose momentum and your wheels will spin and then you don't know what will happen or where you will go. I would rather have him chauffeur me around. That is more time to spend with him. I don't mind that at all. It is like a little getaway.

How can I spend more time with Jesus? Meditate, go to church, pray, read the bible, be good to others and yourself. Now what more can we do? Before we get into spending more time with Jesus, we need to think about this: are we spending enough time with Jesus. Are we meditating and praying enough? Are we going to church every time the doors are open? How much time are we spending reading the Bible? Are we even reading the Bible at all. Are we loving our neighbors as ourselves? Are we worshiping God freely and in spirit and in truth? Or are we holding back because of what people might think of us? 

Only you know the answers to these questions. Only you know where you are in your relationship with Jesus. We can never out give God either in time or money. The more time you give to Him in whatever capacity, the more He is going to give you. But the best part is the more time you give to Him, the more you will know Him. And how much more can we ask for. Oh, to know Him better!

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  
Matthew 6:33

And it was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. 
Luke 6:12 

If Jesus spent the whole night in prayer, how much more do we need to get away with Jesus.

Also, remember: to love Him is to know Him! The more we know Him, the more we please Him and love Him.

Have a spectacular 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

KNOW HIM

I took this picture yesterday. It was amazing!   Good morning to you on  this blessed and chilly day! May God fill you with His love and His Spirit. He is awesome! He is miraculous! He is the great I AM! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last! He is our Lord of lords and King of kings. He is my Savior! Is He yours? Jesus is coming back soon. Do you know Him? I am going to share this video with you again. I shared it once before and it is amazing. We can never hear it enough. And if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, listen very carefully. That's My King Dr. S.M. Lockridge This video says it all! If you don't know Him, get to know Him. Read God's Word. Fellowship with other believers in church and out of church. Talk to Him in prayer.  Now I am not saying that believers are perfect but far from it. We are all on a journey to know Him better. Churches are not a hotel for saints, but a hospital

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
