Good morning!
It is again a cold, drippy, droopy day but the Lord has made it and we should rejoice and be glad in it! So, I will. How about you? Just maybe the first day of Spring will be bright and sunny and gorgeous and the forecast says it will be. We will see if God changes it!

Hopefully you are having a blessed day thus far since it is a gift of God. And He gives great gifts. May God fill you with His love and peace as you seek Him today. 

My Sunday School lesson homework that I am working on was about the crucifixion last Sunday. This coming Sunday is about the resurrection. And just a few weeks ago we saw the movie The Son of God. So, seeing it all happen in the movie and then studying it really brings it all to life. It kind of puts it in picture form. In your mind's eye you can see it happening as you study it. And wow it is so heart wrenching to see and feel what Jesus went through. We will never truly know or feel it but we can get closer to it. 

I think that every once in a while we need to watch it on the screen and see it because we truly forget what Jesus went through and need to remember that He did it for us. That it is real. That He suffered so awfully for our sins not His own. And then when we remember we can truly repent in asking for forgiveness and turning from the sin, and then thank Him for what He has done for us. Sometimes I think we get to the point of taking it all for granted and we need to relive it to change that. 

And then to remember that Jesus loves us so much and He rose again and lives so that we also would rise from our sinful lives and live with Him forever in Heaven.

What a gift Jesus gave us! 

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...

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...
