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,

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...
