NEW DAY DAWNING


I just loved this sunrise last June. Looking forward to it 
again this June as a new day dawns in Lake Junaluska, NC.

Good morning to you on this Friday!

The last day of the week. Are you ready for the weekend? Do you have great plans? I am not sure what we will do. It depends on whether it is going to rain on Saturday or not. It is supposed to rain all day. It is hard to work outside like that.

Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day 
dawning. When people live to be very old, 
let them rejoice in every day of life.
Ecclesiastes 11:7-8a 

A new day will dawn on us from above 
because our God is loving and merciful. 
Luke 1:78

So, how about that. When things are not good, not great, maybe even a little lousy, then we can look at it from a new day. 

Here is the song and video:  http://youtu.be/8eGrDfUGbeY

When my kids were little and going through a time crying a lot or whatever, my mom used to say, "Just wait a week. It will be something new." So, when things in your life are not the best, just wait a day. A new day. A new day dawning. Maybe after a good night's sleep or any sleep, we can look at our situation with new eyes, a new heart, a new day is here. And God is with us through it all. He doesn't turn His back on us. If anything we turn our back on Him. We think we can fix it all ourselves.

Well, sometimes we can because God is helping us whether we ask or not and sometimes we can't because He wants to show us that we need Him to help us and ask Him. But I will say, if we go to God with it first, He is going to make it right, the right way.  Think about that as your new day dawns. I sure will.

Have a blessed 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...
