OUR GOD

Image
   Dusk from a day last week! Good day to you! God is good all the time! All the time God is good! And that is the truth! He is actually better than good! Psalm 147:5   Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. Psalm 135:5   For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. Psalm 95:3 For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. Jeremiah 10:6 No one is like you, LORD; you are great, and your name is mighty in power. Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. And how amazing are these things. How amazing is our God! His unconditional love for all mankind is beyond comprehension. So, I know and I am telling you that Our God Reigns! Listen:  Our God Reigns Have a blessed day! Lesbear

STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES

               These are on our road.            Good morning to you on this beautiful  day that the Lord has made! Wow! I didn't realize how long it has been since I wrote on this blog. It was almost 3 weeks ago on my daughter's 30th birthday.  Boy time flies! They say when you are having fun. I have had such a busy month of March. As I have said before life is supposed to get less busy when you get older, right? It hasn't happened yet. I am still busy as ever. I do always spend time with my Lord in the morning every day but there is always too much to do.  Is that satan trying to take our focus off Jesus?  I have heard that, and I want to share part of a post I made (from Sept. 2014) that I have shared a couple of times, but it is worth remembering. And then I will post a few spring pictures and I just moved them from the bottom t...

WAIT ON THE LORD

Image
 I am ready for spring and summer. How about you? Good morning! I know for a fact that you have found that things sometimes aren't the way that you think they should be. I am going through that right now. So, I am praying for God's will and His outcome. God knows our hearts and wants us to trust Him no matter what plan He brings forth. And if His plan is different than my plan then actually that is better because He knows best.  That doesn't make it any easier to go through. But I know that I must wait on God and I guess I am not the most patient person. I want to know what is going to happen now so I can plan. But sometimes that is not to be. I am a planner. I write everything down but I am thinking now that is not what God wants me to do. He wants me to totally depend on Him! So, as hard as that will be, that is what I will do. I am also asking you to pray with me that in this situation God's will will be done. Jere...

GIVING THANKS

Image
Our yard! Our driveway! Our road! Good morning! Hello! I wrote this actually on the 27th of Feb. and never posted it, but I didn't want to not post. So, here goes! How are you faring today? Well, it is still white outside. We had about 7" of snow hit us on Wed. night. We don't live in a place where we get that much snow. So, things come a little at a stand still. Schools and businesses close. We don't have snow plows here to scrape the roads, at least where we live, in the country. Every once in awhile they brine (liquid salt) the roads ahead of time. But they only have enough to do the main roads and when we have as many snow events like we had this year, they run out and don't have the money to get more. Therefore when it snows like it did this last time the roads weren't salted. It has been beautiful for sure but it has certainly gotten old. We are very grateful that we don't live in a place like Boston where it has...

LIFE WITH HIM

Good morning to you! Can't believe that February is coming to a close. The months seem to fly by! We have had snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, and rain and fog in the last week. Maybe God is trying to tell us to slow down, stay home for a change, spend time with our family, spend time with Me (Him)! What do you think? I do believe that it is altogether possible, maybe even probable. God doesn't think like we do. He has a plan for our lives, the lives of His people. And He wants us to have abundant lives. John 10:10   The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. Jeremiah 29:11   For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord , plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.   I want abundant life. I want hope. I want the thief to leave my family and me alone....

BY FAITH

Good morning! And it is early. I drank decaf coffee in a restaurant last evening and here I am at 3:15 AM wide awake and have been for awhile. I am not sure what restaurants think decaf is but this has happened several times before. And now that I think of it, at the same restaurant more than once. Obviously, it is not 100% decaf, arabica maybe but not decaffeinated. Ugh! I am so tired and can't sleep. I have prayed and prayed and sang songs of Jesus and His love and my eyes are wide open. Lord, help me! I am believing by faith that He will. My computer is about to die. I forgot to charge it yesterday. So, when it does I will finish this in the morning. At least I am yawning. That's a start, I guess. And later today, I have a very busy day. I guess I will have to take a nap. And I also know that with God's help, all will work out according to His awesome will. 1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything...

TRY HARDER

  Hello to you! What have you been doing this past week? Have you been spending time with God? Have you been worshiping Him? Have you been serving Him? These are things to think about. How well am I doing these things? Well, I need to think about it, too. We can always do better at the things that mean the most. We can always spend more time with God. We can always worship more, worship in Spirit and in truth. We can always serve the Lord every second, every minute, every hour. We can always try harder. We can do better! Life is hard. Life is not what we always expect it to be. But God can change our life. He can make it better not perfect, not easy but better. And with Him in our lives and us being obedient to Him, through time with Him, worship, and service we can have a live that is awesome, abundant, and everlasting. And all because we believe in the One True God! We give our heart to Him. We follow Him! Here are some scriptures to point out these thi...
