Thankful Thursday

Well praise God only 3 treatments left that is surely something to be thankful for today, and plus all that God has done through this 33 treatments. He has been with us hand and hand all the way, kept a good hand on Chuck and kept him from getting way sick, he has had many problems throughout it all but, it is in the past, and in 5 days it will be a thing of our past, and I so pray it stays that way, that they did get it all, and he no longer has to suffer with this. I sure appreciate all your prayers too. Have a great day, what are you thankful for today?
I also want to say I am sorry for not posting more here, but lord willing it will get back to normal after Monday. Thank you for being so kind and so patient with me, I love blogging and all your bloggers who have been a constant encouragement to me.

MARY MOTHER OF JESUS

MARY WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A GODLY WOMAN, AND THE PICTURE OF MOTHERHOOD.

SHE WAS CHOSEN OF GOD TO BE THE MOTHER OF JESUS, WE WERE CHOSEN OF GOD TO

BE MOTHERS TOO. WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT MARY AS A MOTHER IN THE NEXT FEW

MINUTES, AND WE NEED TO BE ASKING OURSELVES HOW DO WE MEASURE UP IN THE

MINISTRY OF MOTHERHOOD GOD HAS CHOSEN US FOR, YES, MOTHERHOOD IS INDEED

A MINISTRY. ONE OF THE GREATEST MINISTRIES GOD COULD HAVE BESTOWED UPON

US AS WOMEN. HOW SERIOUS ARE WE ABOUT BEING MOTHERS, DO WE REALLY KNOW

THE IMPACT WE HAVE ON OUR CHILDREN, DO WE REALIZE THE GREAT RESPONSIBILITY GOD HAS GIVEN US.

LETS TURN IN OUR BIBLES TO LUKE 1:26-33

NOW THIS IS AN ACCOUNT GIVEN OF THE MOTHER OF OUR LORD.

HER NAME IS MARY. GREEK FORM OF MIRIAM. THE NAME SIGNIFIES EXALTED ONE.

SHE WAS A DESCENDANT FROM THE LINEAGE OF DAVID, SO AS JOSEPH WAS, HIS

GENEALOGY ACCOUNT IS IN MATT 1:1-17 HERS IS IN LUKE 2:23-38 GOD HAD BROUGHT

THE PERFECT COUPLE TOGETHER TO BRING HIS SON INTO THE WORLD.

SHE WAS A VIRGIN, BUT ESPOUSED TO ONE OF THE SAME ROYAL STOCK LIKE HER, HOWEVER OF LOW ESTATE, NOT WEALTHY PEOPLE.

THE ADDRESS OF THE ANGEL TO HER, HE SURPRISED HER WITH THIS SALUTATION “HAIL THOU ART HIGHLY FAVORED.” THIS STATEMENT WAS INTENDED TO RAISE IN HER.

A. A VALUE FOR HERSELF, TO CREATE SELF ESTEEM

B. AN EXPECTATION OF GREAT NEWS. NOT FROM ABROAD, BUT FROM ABOVE. (HAIL) rejoice.

C. SHE IS DIGNIFIED. THOU ART HIGHLY FAVOURED.GOD HAS PUT HONOR UPON HER

D. SHE HAS THE PRESENCE OF GOD WITH HER.”THE LORD IS WITH THEE. NOTHING IS TO BE DESPAIRED, NOT THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SERVICE, NOT THE OBTAINING OF ANY FAVOURS THOUGH EVER SO GREAT, IF WE HAVE GOD WITH US.

E. SHE HAS THE BLESSING OF GOD UPON HER. BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN.”

NOW THIS A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON MARY, SHE WAS THE OBJECT OF SHEER GRACE,

SHE RECEIVED GOD’S FAVOUR. SHE WAS BLESSED AMONG ALL WOMEN. GOD CHOOSE

MARY BECAUSE HE BELIEVED IN HER. SHE WAS NOT SINLESS, BUT A WOMAN OF GOOD

CHARACTER, AND WILLING TO FOLLOW GOD IN CARRYING OUT HIS TASK. GOD USES THE ONES WHO ARE WILLING, IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE USED OF THE LORD, HE WILL PASS YOU BY..

SHE WAS DEDICATED TO GODS WILL

SHE WAS COMMITTED TO GODS WILL

SHE WAS WILLING TO DO GODS WILL.

EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS BEEN ENDOWED WITH ABILITIES TO SERVE GOD. THE HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWERS THE CHRISTIAN TO USE THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN THEM. SO LET ME ASK YOU, HOW ARE YOU USING YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENTS FOR THE LORD, TAKE TIME AND PONDER ON THIS QUESTION, ARE YOU USING YOUR TALENT TO UPLIFT THE NAME OF JESUS? OR ARE YOU TRYING TO UPLIFT YOURSELF? SHAME ON YOU, GOD GIVES US THE TALENT TO USE FOR HIS GLORY AND TO SERVE HIM IN ALL WAYS, USE THIS GOD GIVEN ABILITY TO ALWAYS SERVE HIM IN ANY WAY HE WANTS YOU TO.

NOW WE SEE IN VERSE 29, MARY WAS TROUBLED, CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT SHE

WAS FEELING, HERE WAS A YOUNG WOMAN, A DEDICATED GODLY WOMAN, A VIRGIN,

ABOUT TO MARRY THE MAN SHE LOVED. PROBABLY CAUGHT UP IN DREAMS OF HER

BELOVED, WEDDING PLANS, AS YOUNG WOMEN DO. WONDERING WHAT HER MARRIED

LIFE WOULD BE LIKE, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE, GABRIEL SPOKE TO HER. I’M SURE

HER REACTION MUST OF BEEN OF FEAR, SHOCK, AND SHEER AMAZEMENT. THEN SHE

THOUGHT, OH WHAT WILL JOSEPH THINK. WHAT WOULD THE TOWNS PEOPLE SAY.SHE

WAS A UNMARRIED PREGNANT WOMAN, BACK IN THOSE TIMES THEY STONED UNWED

PREGNANT WOMEN TO DEATH. NOW MARY BEING COMMITTED TO DO GODS WILL SIMPLY

TRUSTED THAT GOD WOULD NOT CALL HER TO A MEANINGLESS TASK OR ONE BEYOND HER ABILITY TO DO WITH HIS HELP.

THE MESSENGER OF GOD SAID, TO MARY, NOT TO BE AFRAID. MARY ACCEPTED GODS WILL FOR HER LIFE. SHE REPLIED “BEHOLD THY HANDMAID OF THE LORD” handmaid MEANS SERVANT. HER FAITH WAS PROVED BY HER OBEDIENCE. MARY BELIEVED TO

DO GOD’S WILL WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SELF PRESERVATION.

REMEMBER NOW GOD HAD COME TO JOSEPH IN A DREAM SO HE ALREADY KNEW THE

TRUTH, AND HAD NO FEARS ABOUT MARRYING HER. HE LOVED HER AND HIS FAITH IN GOD WAS COMPLETE.

SO THEY WERE MARRIED, JOSEPH KNEW HER NOT SEXUALLY UNTIL SHE HAD BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON, AND THEY CALLED HIM JESUS.

HERE WE SEE MARY HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH TO THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD ALMIGHTY, AND STILL GOING FORTH IN THE TASK GOD HAS CHOSEN FOR HER. I’M SURE SHE HAD BEEN SADDENED BY THE

FACT SHE HAD NEVER BEEN INTIMATE WITH HER NEW HUSBAND, AND THERE WAS PROBABLY A STRAIN UPON THIS MARRIAGE. BUT MARY WAS COMMITTED TO GOD, AND WHAT HE HAD CHOSEN FOR HER. NOW WE SEE SHE IS GOING TO TRAVEL, AT A TIME SHE WOULD

LIKE TO BE SETTLED AND SECURE, SHE HAS TO GO FROM NAZARETH TO BETHLEHEM BECAUSE JOSEPH WAS OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID HE HAD TO PAY HIS TAXES THERE.

THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO HOP ON A JET, AND GET THERE IN A HURRY, THAT WOULD EVEN BE STRAINED FOR A WOMAN READY TO DELIVER, BUT THEY TRAVELED BY

DONKEY AND WALKING ABOUT SIXTY MILES, THAT WAS A THREE DAYS JOURNEY, QUITE AN ORDEAL FOR MARY.THEN WHEN SHE GETS THERE SHE STARTED LABOUR, ALL THE INNS WERE FULL, SO SHE HAD TO GO TO A STABLE TO HAVE HER FIRSTBORN CHILD SHE MUST OF BEEN SO SAD AND DISCOURAGED, THINKING HERE I AM ABOUT TO GIVE

IN LUKE 2:7 SHE HAD HER BABY AND WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, THESE WERE NOTHING MORE THAN BANDAGES AND WRAPPINGS, THEY USED THESE FOR WRAPPING DEAD BODIES AND GETTING THEM READY FOR BURIAL. HOW SAD FOR MARY, NOT ONLY WAS HER SON BORN IN A MANGER, (THIS WAS A FEEDING PLACE FOR CATTLE), NOW HE WAS WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES. SHE HAD NO FANCY LAYETTE, NO PRETTY CRIB, OR CUTE BABY GOWN, OR PRETTY SOFT BLANKETS AS MOST OF US YOUNG MOTHERS HAD FOR OUR FIRSTBORN BABIES, AND THIS BABY WAS THE KING

OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE FLESH. HOW PITIFUL FOR THIS YOUNG MOTHER, BUT SHE NEVER COMPLAINED SHE ONLY OBEYED GOD IN EVERY WAY, YES MARY WAS A VERY COMMITTED AND FAITHFUL WOMAN, OBEDIENT TO GOD AND WHAT HE ASKED OF HER. THINK WE COULD BE SO OBEDIENT?

NOW IN MATTHEW 2:12-23 THEY ARE WARNED OF HEROD, HE WAS KILLING BOY BABIES, TO GET TO JESUS, SO THEY FLED TO EGYPT, AS GOD TOLD THEM TO DO, TO KEEP THE LORD JESUS SAFE FROM HEROD. THEN HEROD DIED, AND THEY YET AGAIN MOVED BACK TO NAZARETH. THAT THE SCRIPTURE BE FULFILLED, MARY WAS UPROOTED SO MANY TIMES FOR GODS WORK. WE NEVER SEE HER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TASK AT HAND, OR THE LIFE GOD HAS CHOSEN FOR HER AND HER FAMILY.

LUKE 2:39-52 JESUS WAS 12 YEARS OLD NOW, MARY HAD WATCHED HIM GROW, KEPT HIM SAFE, FED HIM LIKE ANY OTHER MOTHER WOULD CARE FOR THEIR CHILD. WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD THEY WENT TO JERUSALEM FOR THE PASSOVER FEAST CUSTOM, AFTER

THE FEAST WAS OVER AND THEY WERE RETURNING HOME TO FIND JESUS MISSING,

THEY RETURNED FOR HIM. I IMAGINE MARY WAS FRANTIC WONDERING WHERE HE WAS, AND IF HE WAS ALRIGHT. BEING A MOTHER SHE WORRIED ABOUT HIM JUST AS WE DO IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WITH OUR CHILDREN. WHEN THEY FOUND HIM

THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT HE WAS TELLING THEM, MARY WAS CONFUSED, VS 49-50 BUT KEPT ALL THIS WISDOM IN HER HEAD.

JESUS BEGINS HIS MINISTRY AND I’M SURE MARY WAS VERY MUCH INVOLVED.

PROBABLY STAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, LETTING GO LITTLE BY LITTLE LIKE MOTHERS HAVE TO DO. BY NOW SHE HAD OTHER CHILDREN TO CARE FOR MATT 13:55 TELLS US JESUS HAD AT LEAST FOUR BROTHERS, AND AT LEAST THREE SISTERS,

SO MARY HAD A VERY BUSY, AND FULL LIFE, THERE IS NO FURTHER MENTION OF JOSEPH DURING THE MINISTRY OF JESUS, SOME SAY MAYBE JOSEPH HAD DIED, LEAVING MARY A WIDOW WITH AT LEAST EIGHT CHILDREN TO CARE FOR. I’M SURE MARY WAS VERY TIRED AND BOGGED DOWN WITH THE EVERYDAY CARE OF THESE

CHILDREN, BUT SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR THEM, SUPPORTING THEM AND ENCOURAGING THEM. I THINK SHE PROBABLY STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND TO THE FULL EXTENT THE MINISTRY OF JESUS.

THE WEDDING IN CANA JOHN 2:1-3 MARY KNEW JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD, SHE SEEN A DIFFERENCE IN HIM COMPARED TO HER OTHER CHILDREN, SHE ALSO HAD MUCH FAITH IN HIM, I’M SURE SHE WAS VERY PROUD OF HIM AND WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW THIS MAN WAS HER SON, SHE SAID IN VS 3, JESUS THEY HAVE NO

WINE, HINTING COME ON NOW YOU CAN TURN THIS WATER INTO WINE FOR THEM.

BUT HIS REPLY WAS, “WOMAN WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE, MINE HOUR IS NOT YET COME”, I THINK HE WAS TELLING HER MOM, NOT YOUR WILL BUT THE FATHERS WILL HAS TO BE DONE, AND THIS IS NOT HIS TIME.. I’M SURE MARY WAS A BIT HURT TO BE REPRIMANDED BY HER SON IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, BUT

IN HER HEART SHE TOO KNEW IT HAD TO BE GODS WILL NOT HERS. MARY STILL CONFIDENT IN JESUS AND HIS POWER AND WISDOM TOLD THE SERVANTS TO DO WHATEVER JESUS TOLD THEM TO DO. VS 4&5.

LATER IN THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST, MARY AND HIS BROTHERS CAME TO TAKE JESUS HOME, MARK 3:20-32, SHE WAS ALWAYS BY HIS SIDE SHE NEVER TRIED TO DISCOURAGE HIM, OR MOCK HIM, FOR DOING WHAT SHE KNEW GOD HAD CALLED HIM TO DO, NO SHE ALWAYS WAS SUPPORTIVE OF HIM. SHE WAS THERE AT THE TIME

OF HIS DEATH SHOWING DEEP MOTHERLY LOVE AND ADORATION FOR HIM. HOW SHE MUST OF BEEN HURTING INSIDE, HER HEART BREAKING FOR HER FIRSTBORN SON.

JESUS LOVED HIS MOTHER DEARLY, AS WE SEE THROUGH OUT THE SCRIPTURES, AND AT THE CRUCIFIXION HE TOOK SPECIAL CARE TO TELL THE APOSTLE JOHN TO TAKE CARE OF HIS MOTHER. WHO WOULD OF EVER THOUGHT SUCH A SPECIAL CALLING AS HERS WOULD INCLUDE SUCH A TIME OF HEARTBREAKING AGONY.

NOW WE SEE MARY APPEARS LAST IN SCRIPTURE WITH THE DISCIPLES IN THE UPPER ROOM, AFTER THE ASCENSION OF JESUS ACTS 1:14.

BY JOINING THE APOSTLES IN PRAYER AS THEY WAITED FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT. MARY SHOWED HER BELIEF IN CHRIST, HIS RESURRECTION HAD PROVEN BEYOND A DOUBT WHAT HE HAD SAID WAS TRUE. MARYS ROLE WOULD AGAIN BE JOYOUS AS SHE, ALONG WITH THE FAST GROWING CHURCH, PROCLAIMED THE RESURRECTION OF HER SON. MARY SHOWS US THAT EVEN GODS MOST GLORIOUS TASKS COME WITH HARDSHIPS AND PAIN. NOW IN CLOSING WE SEE A GREAT GODLY, FAITHFUL, OBEDIENT, COMMITTED, TENTATIVE, SUPPORTIVE WOMAN. IS IT ANY WONDER GOD CHOSE THIS MARY WE HAVE SEEN TO CARRY HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. WILL WE BE MARYS, WE WILL USE HER AS OUR EXAMPLES, AND TRY TO BE THE MOTHER GOD HAS CHOSEN US TO BE.

Marvelous Monday

Yes indeed it is a marvelous Monday, I feel so good, and it was such a great weekend. 
We had a break from going for treatments, 2 days off, today is my dh 15th treatment, lots has happened, and God has blessed every step of the way.
Only 18 more, wow, daily, it gets rough at times, then I think of sweet Jesus, how he was beaten, and attacked, and then hung on a cross  to die, but praise God it was all in our heavenly Father's hands, just like we are. If we had not gone through this, we never of would met some of the dear people we have, or had the blessings of telling them of our Saviour. Glory, nothing greater than to share Jesus with others, and especially this time of year.  So continue to keep us in your prayers, my dh throat is rough and his neck on the outside is very red and tender, hard on him for sure.


We had 5 saved at church yesterday, and last night we went to Florida to a Cantata it was no doubt the best I ever attended, it had a play with it, and such meaning of the Christmas story from Matthew, just such a blessing, and after a sweet fellowship with some old friends we had not seen in a long time, it just was a fabulous day all around, and one that kept us out until almost 10 PM lol, very rare these days. 


Saturday we did get our Christmas Cookies made, and decorated, they turned out really good. I used an old recipe I found in a little tin of small cookie cutters, and doubled the recipe, Chuck loves doing stuff like this, and making candy so he had fun creating some decor on them. I finished my laundry and all set for another week. 


So that is my Marvelous Monday, how is yours going? Hope you are blessed in all ways, and have a great day. God bless each of you real good. Love you much too.

♥

My husband has had 3 treatments and today makes 4 only 30 more to go, he is doing well so far, his throat is sore this morning though. I mixed up 1/2 cup water, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, and 1/8 tsp of salt he gargled and said it did feel better. We go at noon daily, maybe next week will be later. I like it later in the afternoons. Continue to pray for us as we take this new journey, it has become a wonderful Ministry too. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, my family came and we were so thankful for that, God sure has blessed us. I am sorry I am not posting as much as before, but my life is just too busy with other things, I am not on the computer as much. I still think of you often, and pray for you.

Amen, yes let us shine, shine, shine, I just pray that we will be a blessing to all those around us, God certainly blessed us so far, we prayed with several yesterday, and some just broke down and cried, it is wonderful to be a comfort in times like this. I think it is so needed for us to be useful and be a blessings, it takes our minds off our own problems, which besides some are so very minute. Thank you sweet ladies for all your prayers, and I know you continue, I love each of you dearly. Have a wonderfully blessed day.
The days are passing by, too fast too, all is well here in White Oak, God is so good, and he has poured his blessings out upon us indeed. We look around us and see so much suffering, and pain and it is so great to be able to pray with those less blessed than we are, to encourage them, and some just need to talk about their illness, I sure pray that God will continue to bless those we talk to, and some may accept him as their own personal Saviour. Have a great day, and be a blessing to those around you.

Well Thanksgiving day is fast approaching, it will be here and gone soon, I have put the Turkey in the bottom of my fridge, it should be good and thawed by Thursday morning. 
I am making lots of good food, the Turkey, dressing, mashed taters and gravy, Sweet Potato Souffle, Green bean casserole, the girls will bring the sides and drinks and rolls, and desserts; we will feast as like kings on that day, we will get our fill for sure, then I think how many go hungry and it will make me sad, we need to pray and help those who are less blessed than we are. Say a prayer right now and ask God how you can help some one in need. I surely thank God for his blessing upon my family and me. 


I do pray that you all have a wonderful day, and that you lift your eyes to heaven and thank our heavenly Father for all the blessings from the whole year. It will be hard to remember them all but if we really ponder he will bring to our remembrance. 
I cannot imagine having Thanksgiving without giving thanks to our lord and creator of all things, who make all things possible and gives us so abundantly.


So have a glorious day, and know that we love you and am praying for you.



Day 22 ~ It is a Beautiful day here in Georgia, very hard to believe it is the 22 of Nov, when our weather says it is Sept.
Sunny and just a nice fall day, warm temps keep us outside and I love it. My husband when out and picked some Mustard and Collard greens earlier, I may make some green for Thanksgiving also, though most of my family do not like greens one daughter in law loves them, I may make them special for her.  


I came across this verse this morning in my reading and it really is my heart. ♥ 


1Co 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

Thankful Thursday

To look outside you would never think it was the 17th of November,
it is another no sweater day, very warm, sun shining, just a glorious
day to be a Thankful Thursday, and I sure am thankful for the sun
and the warmth. My winter garden is just fantastic, we had rain in
the night, and everything is growing so good, and so quickly too, it
is green greens, and my strawberry plants are doing wonderful, I love having a garden, do you? It blesses my soul to see how our lord makes things grow, and provides the needs of his people. Yes on this day I certainly am thankful for all the lord does.


Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God. 
This is one of my favorite  verses, and I claim it often too. I 
have been feeling puny for a couple of days now, I got the flu
shot Monday, and then started feeling sick to my stomach. I am
feeling a little better today, although still kinda queezy feeling.


Well all is going well, and we are looking forward to having our children here for Thanksgiving, it is a very special day and we 
love it being a day our family can gather around and share what 
we are thankful for. I have bought the Turkey and fixings, and 
ready for our day to begin. I pray that you all have a very blessed
Thanksgiving, and give God the glory for all we have. Thank you 
for all the great comments and prayers you are praying for my dh and I, it is so appreciated. God bless each of you, and be blessed, 
you are indeed a blessing to me.

Been A While

So much has happened since I wrote last, been a very busy week for sure.
Chuck had the PET Scan Thursday, Praise God we seen the Oncologist
Friday, and he read the scan, there is not cancer any where else, it did not show
anything, so that is such a blessing, the doctor is pretty sure he got all of it
when he did the surgery, doing the radiation is to make positively sure.
While at the Oncologist Friday, he made the mask for the radiation treatments,
they even tattooed the place where it needs to be. He will start the radiation
treatments after Thanksgiving. Every day for 6 weeks, 33 treatments in all.

SO it will be a good chance for us to meet folks in need of the Saviour, and
witness to them, they sure need the hope Jesus can give, in the place there.
God give us both such a sweet peace, and we just look to him for our every
need, he will meet each need that arises, and we have no doubts about that.

My children came up today for the day, had a great time, I made Chile and rice
and tuna sandwiches, that was fun and we chatted and took some hikes in
the woods even. Good day, I am so thankful for the time spent with them.
They are all coming for Thanksgiving so will be a very busy time then, I love
to talk of  the blessings our lord gives, and how good he is to us.
Continue to pray for our journey with this thing called cancer, but God has his
hand upon my dh and I know he will care for him.

Thank you all that have been following my blog and bless each of abundantly.
Have a great day tomorrow with your brothers and sisters in Christ, and may we
all worship our lord in Spirit and Truth. God bless y'all real good. ♥

Praising God Any Way


I have bad news and good news, but with God all things are good. First the biopsy came back positive, that lump was cancer, but the doctor feels he did get it all, that is the good news. He is making arrangements for Chuck to have a PET scan, and start Radiation treatments, he feels he got it early, and this should make sure no other cancer is in his body. 
WHEW it really threw me for a loop, I had such peace, I just knew it was going to be negative, the doctor said he also thought it would be negative, just the way it appeared, you never know what is going on in your body, but our heavenly Father knows, and He is already taking care of him. Thank you for continued prayer and knowing you will be faithful to pray for him.


Ps 18:2  "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower".

Praise God for his day, when we as a body of believers can come together and worship the lord.
I am thankful today that I have a wonderful church to attend, that still preaches the gospel from
the KJV of the bible, sing old time hymns and have Holy Spirit convictions. Thank you lord for
your leading us to such a place to work, worship and serve you.

Ps 100:4  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Wonderful Wednesday



Well today is the second day of November, a month in which we turn our eyes upon Jesus, and give thanks for all he has done throughout the year, I love this time of year, not just the turning of the leaves, or the cool temperatures but the fact that many are remembering how much God has did for them. May we never forget 
and never cease to give him all the glory and praise for 
what he has did for us. I love that there are so very many scriptures that sing praises to our lord. Isaiah 42:8 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images". Our Lord is a jealous God, and will not  share his glory with any one, if we try and take any glory from him we shall see the anger of the lord. Let us sing his praises 

all this month and see how many various verses we can find that sing his praise, and gives thanks to the lord. 

As we all stay busy, I know we do get around to the computer as much as before, I am sorry, I do not post very much, I have just finished up several more salvation bracelets I will let the girls give them to the Missionaries tonight, Sunday will be a full day, and with much going on here for preparation for Thanksgiving and having a house full, seems not much time left, and the older I get the slower I become too, giggles, I did get my laundry finished yesterday, we went down to the Island and it was way too cold to even spend any time there, so NO fish.
I have made up song books for our Junior church, card stock on front and back with a huge logo of singing kids on front, we have about 15 songs and going to teach them each one, I remember the kids songs I learned as a child, one stick with me especially because I used to sing it to my daddy, and point my finger at him, when it came to are you ready when Jesus comes. He was not at the time, and I knew it.
"Two shall be together grinding at the mill, two shall be together sleeping peace be still, one shall be taken the other left behind, will you be ready when Jesus comes". it is biblical too, I found it one day in my reading and got very excited to see it in the Bible. I hope you have a wonderful month of November and

your home is filled with lots of good smelling food, spices, and a family that loves and appreciates all you do for them. God bless you my blogging friends.
