SEEK HIM


Good morning to you!
Hope you are having a blessed day. It is 12:30 AM. I went to bed at about 9 PM and I am up already. I have been sleeping so good but last night I just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I know there is probably a lot on my mind with Easter Sunday coming up.  

In the church there is much to do. We will be having a sunrise service at 6:45 AM on Sunday in the cemetery near our church. Then we are doing an Easter Cantata as part of the morning worship service. Several speakers will wear costumes and the rest of us choir robes. It should be wonderful and very meaningful. Needless to say, I have a lot on my mind, I guess.

But all I want is Jesus on my mind. Maybe here on the couch I can go back to sleep with Jesus on my mind and in my heart. So when I get up I am rested and refreshed.  O Lord please help me!  I am so tired and restless. 

 And I did and then an hour later my husband got up because he couldn't sleep. So, I got up and went back to bed so he could sleep on the couch. But God helped me go right back to sleep and I slept until 6 and then I had to get up.

Is Jesus on your mind 24/7? Is He all you think about? Well, we are human and we live our lives the best we know how and Jesus is not always on our minds. Do you want Him to be? I do. There is a saying that if you put Jesus first, everything else will fall into place. Not perfect of course. But things will go smoother and the things that don't we will have a better mindset to handle them with Jesus on our minds. I am game. How about you?

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, 
and all these things will be given to you as well.
                                                                          Matthew 6:33



Have a special 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...
