BLESSINGS ABOUND



Good morning to you on this fine Wednesday!
May God bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you. May He give you peace. (from Numbers 6:24-26)

I hope you can see God's blessings in this day that He has made. I can. Right here and right now. He has given me a good night's sleep. He has given me a bed to sleep in. I have awoken to another day. The sun is shining. I can see the beautiful trees. The sky is gorgeous and blue. I can see the mountains. God has given us air to breathe. He has given us families and friends. He loves us no matter what! He has given us a Savior to save us from our sins. A Savior to worship!

Most of these things could be taken away from us in an instant. We could be living in a war-torn country. We could be living on the streets with no pillow to cushion our heads. And no mattress to lay our bodies. We could live in darkness with no light. We could live in a dreary world around us with nothing to praise God about. Although that would be in our minds and most likely not in the physical. But there is much to praise God about. All around us are blessings that know no bounds.

It is the LORD's blessing that makes a 
person rich, and hard work adds nothing to it.
Proverbs 10:22

We may not be rich in money but we are very, very rich in blessings. God is so good to us. He has given so much for you and me. I am rich because I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Do you? Do you count your blessings every day?

Think about what is around you. No. Not everything is good in our lives. Not everything is perfect. But no one said it would be. But we have a God Who loves us more than anything. What a blessing! And no matter what we do, He will never stop loving us. What a blessing! He may not like what we do but He loves us anyway. What a blessing!

So, think about your blessings, the good things in your life. Don't forget anything. Stop and smell the roses. Spend your time worshipping the Lord. When you look at a beautiful flower or tree or the blue sky, thank God for it. Look at the beauty around you. It is definitely there. Don't miss it for one more day. God made it all for us because He loves 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...
