BLESS THE LORD

Good morning!

How are you this fine day!

Are you blessed? I am. I have been in California with my Dad and my step-sis and family. We went to my cousin's wedding, whom I hadn't seen since 1981, 32 years ago, when they came out to see us when my son was born. That was a long, long time ago. We went to the dinner they had on Friday night and then to the wedding on Saturday afternoon. We had a great time. We met children and grandchildren we had never met. It was wonderful!

And I praise God that we had the privilege to do it. And the time spent with my DAD WAS SO PRECIOUS!

My Dad and I went to Lakewood First United Methodist Church this morning. It was a multi-cultural church and the people were very friendly. The sermon was great. We enjoyed it so much.  The music was great. They had some sort of drum like instrument but it made the piano and hymns sound a little Asian or Bahaman, I don't know which. It was an instrument that we didn't study when I taught music in the school. But it really sounded cool. 

Dad leaves for home tomorrow. He is so tired. He hasn't slept much since we have been here. Please pray for him and my step-mom who broke her foot in 3 places and had pins and wires put in. She is not really a happy camper. Bless her heart!

So I praise God from Whom all blessings flow for his goodness and his grace and mercy. His love endures forever.

Another blessing, when we got back to the house last night it started to rain. And it rained all night and some this morning. It hasn't rained here in so long. Most of this state is in a severe drought. And I mean bad. No watering much of anything is allowed. Water rationing they call it. 

Glad that we don't have that problem in Tennessee. Sometimes it seems like we get too much rain but then sometimes we don't get enough. Oh well, are we ever satisfied?

So, take advantage of the precious time you have with your family. Life is short!  Worship The Lord in Spirit and in truth. And give God the glory for all your blessings!

Have a great 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...
