HAVE FUN



Good morning!
Are we having fun yet? Is your life a life of fun and excitement? Unfortunately, life is not necessarily fun. Life is serious. Life can sometimes be a pain, well, not a pain, but full of frustrations and temptations and situations. Is your life truly life or is it just existence?

I am ready to have fun. I don't want to just exist. I want to laugh and be crazy and, well, have some fun. My husband and I are pretty serious people. We are homebodies. We don't go a lot. We like to take trips and we do have fun but at home we don't do much for fun. We tend to have our routine and don't stray much from it unless something comes up.

Don't get me wrong. I love my life. I am very blessed and so thankful for the husband and children that God has given me. God has given us a roof over our heads and all the comforts He allows us to have. 

Maybe we need to make our own fun. Like say stupid and silly things and sometimes do stupid and silly things. I can try to do that!

John 10:10 

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 

Is the thief stealing our joy? God gives us abundant life which I believe and know is true but I also believe that we can let the evil one steal it all away from us. I also think that God wants us to have fun. Otherwise, He wouldn't have given us joy and laughter. 

1 Timothy 6:18-19 

They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. 

I want to be generous and share God's love, fun, and joy with others. I am not a funny person but I would like to be. Remember that all things are possible with God. So, in that case, God could make me funny. He can help us to have fun. Let's just pray for it.

Proverbs 17:22 

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.


Psalm 126:2

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

Job 8:21

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting.

Ecclesiastes 3:4 

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;


Proverbs 15:13

A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed. 

I do think that God wants us to be full of joy, filled with laughter, making a time to laugh with a cheerful face but only at just the right time. And I am thankful for just the right time!
  
Have a joyful 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

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...
