PLANS

Our driveway a couple of days ago.

Good morning this fine Saturday!
Oh Lord how great Thou art! Bless this day You have given us, this one that You have made. May we glorify You and Your name in all that we do. May we be pleasing in Your sight. May we always seek  Ye first and also Your righteousness and all these things will be added unto us. Help us to always follow You and Your plan for our lives. Oh Lord thank You. You are our Rock and our Redeemer. In Jesus Name Amen.

I was feeling like God wanted me to start out with prayer today. Did you have a great Valentine's Day yesterday? I sure did. My husband didn't buy me a card. Before He left for work yesterday, he actually took a piece of copy paper and made one with crayons. It was so sweet. Then when he returned home from work he brought me a miniature rose bush to plant outside. How wonderful! He knows that I love roses and brought me one to plant instead of throw away. He is so practical. And the card. I love it. That means so much more to me than a card that costs $5.00. God has truly blessed me with him for almost 38 years. Sure I get upset with him sometimes. I mean surely he is not going to do everything exactly the way that I want it. But I would say that is okay, afterwards, he doesn't need to be a clone of me. Sometimes that is hard to remember.

I think I was that way with my kids. I wanted them to do everything I wanted them to do exactly the way I did it. And now I know that was wrong. My way isn't the best way. Actually only God's way is the best way. He tells us how to do things in His Word and that is how we are supposed to do it.  We are to do everything the very best we can and do everything for His glory and honor so that we may be pleasing in His sight. That is what I want to do.

Life is a learning process. We make mistakes and we try again to do better. At least most of us do. We should learn from everything we do and every trial and tribulation that we find ourselves in. With God leading us, hopefully we learn and we grow into better people than we were the day before.

How about you? Does that sound like a plan? I hope so. I want the very best that God has to offer for every one of my readers. I am praying for you!

For I know the plans I have for you," 
declares the LORD, "plans to prosper 
you and not to harm you, plans 
to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 

Have a terrific 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...

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...
