SILLY OR HAPPY OR GLAD

Good morning!
Yesterday was a great day for me. How about you? It didn't rain. It wasn't as cold as it has been lately. I didn't get too upset with the traffic. We had leftover corn and fishsticks. We had a great lesson with the kids. The sky didn't fall. The acorn didn't fall on Henny Penny's head.  Oh my, why did I think of Chicken Little from before I was born. Although I am sure that I saw the 1943 from when I was a kid.

Silly isn't it? I think that I get a little silly when I am tired. My grandsons do that also. I started this last night since I had a doctor's appt. this morning. 

The word silly isn't in the Bible. But the words happy and glad are. So, here are a few scriptures that share that feeling.

He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll 
always be happy and never have trouble."
Psalm 10:6

But may the righteous be glad and rejoice 
before God; may they be happy and joyful.
Psalm 68:

A happy heart makes the face cheerful, 
                                                      but heartache crushes the spirit.                                                     
Proverbs 15:13

I know that there is nothing better for men than 
to be happy and do good while they live.   Ecclesiastes 3:12

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is 
anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
James 5:13

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them 
say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
1 Chronicles 16:31

  But let all who take refuge in you be glad; 
let them ever sing for joy. Spread your 
protection over them, that those who love 
your name may rejoice in you.
Psalm 5:11  

Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; 
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
Psalm 32:11

"Oh, Lord, make us glad, make us happy, and sometimes make us silly." It just might make your day.

Have a good one!

Love,

PREPARING FOR THE CHOCTAW TRIP

Image
Saturday it is! We leave Saturday  for the Choctaw Mission Trip!  How excited we are! How ready are we? My heart is certainly ready! But the team stuff and my stuff, not so much. Well, I am close and here I sit writing this. I had better get moving. I have been working hard on and off for a year since Bert, my husband, and I are the team leaders. I couldn't do it without Jesus leading and guiding me all the way. He is my hope and my stay (from Hymn-My Hope is Built, verse 3). Every year the team comprises some of the same people-Praise the Lord!-and many new people-Praise the Lord again. This trip is a great first mission trip. We don't go too far (6 hours from Chattanooga) and it doesn't cost a lot of money. To check out trip info (this year's), go to: www.lesbear.wix.com/choctaw . Soon after we get back from this trip, I will try to update the website for the 2017 trip. We go every year and this team has been serving God in this same place sin...

NEW LIFE

  The tree in my yard outside my window! All the red spots are  buds although they are not real visible in this picture. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ  give you grace and peace.   Ephesians 1:2 NLT Good morning! I am sitting here looking out the window at a tree in my yard. It is February 3 and it is budding already. This means that the tree thinks that it is the start of spring since it has been so warm on and off. The buds are ready to burst forth with new life! We have had cold times this winter thus far but not an extended period. Although today it is cold, about 40*, and somewhat windy. But once the tree starts to bud it doesn't stop unless we have significant freezing weather and the buds freeze and die. We have seasons in our life where things are going really well so we praise God or things are so well we don't need God, so we don't even talk to Him. Shame on us! We also have seasons in our life that things don't ...

PRAISE & WORSHIP HIM

Image
  Good morning to you on this nippy Saturday morning! It was probably close to 20* when I got up but it has warmed up to 26. Got a call from our company who are coming. They stayed in middle TN last night and woke up to 2" of snow. Ugh!! Pray for traveling mercies.  Well, right now I am hopping back and forth between the computer to post this blog and the crock pot to fix dinner. Well, the crock pot is so full I can't fit another thing in it and it is a 5 qt. one. It will be great. Wouldn't that be awesome if we could be so full of God that we couldn't fit any more of Him in us? Wow! What a thought! I suppose that is how it will be when we get to heaven. We will be as full of Him as we can get. What a wonderful life that will be! Praising and worshiping Him 24/7 although there probably won't be a 24/7 or days and nights. It will be eternity! There is a purpose for all God does. Likewise, there is a purpose for our praise and worship of God. Prais...
