HAVE TO DO


Our yard several years ago, probably 
Christmas 2010. I love the snow.


Good morning on this 
blessed Saturday!
How are you doing today? Did you have a great yesterday? I did. It was a bright and sunny day, very cold but very bright. I think the high yesterday was only 29*. And it was windy. Now it is much, much colder in other places and I can't imagine what that is like. On Monday it is supposed to get colder here with the high of 18* with a low of 1*. Oh my, I can't wait! I like the cold but when it is that cold I just want to stay inside. I guess there is nothing wrong with that.  

But how much do you get done when you don't go anywhere. Most of the stuff I need to do is at home. I am just trying to get organized. I haven't caught up since Christmas. In sleep and in stuff that I need to do. Well, maybe some of my "need to do's" are things I don't really have to do. But to me I have to do it. 

 In our lives there are things that we do need to do, like give our lives to Jesus. If we want to spend eternity in heaven we need to give our lives to Him. If want to succeed in business or at a job we have to do the job. If we want a clean house to live in we have to clean it. If we want to raise successful kids, we have to teach them respect and work ethic and all the things to help them in life. Teaching them all about Jesus is number one. So, we have responsibilities in life to God, our families, and everyone around us. And if we put God first, everything else will fall into place.

 Putting God first is the key.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his right-
eousness, and all these things will be added to you. 
Matthew 6:3

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, 
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break 
in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, 
where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves 
do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, 
there your heart will be also.  
Matthew 6:19-21

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who 
live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in
 the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved 
me and gave himself for me. 
Galatians 2:20

Commit your work to the Lord, and 
your plans will be established.  
Proverbs 16:3

He must increase, but I must decrease.” 
John 3:30

So, see how these scriptures talk to us. Are we going to follow?

Thanks for reading.

Have a miraculous day!

Love,

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
