Praising God 

We were well enough to go to both services yesterday, it was so good to be back in our place, singing, loving and worshiping our dear lord, he oh so worthy. Today I am stuffed up again, ugh not sure why, maybe we got over tired yesterday. Our pastor preached such an awesome message, both services..

Got my blood work back for my Rhuematologist and all is good, praise God, I was afraid all the sickness may of made my tests show up different. It is for Kidney, liver etc functions and level my RA is, even show any infection in the bone. 

The sun is still shining here too, that is a great sight; it is still cold but not dreary any how, it only got to 63 here yesterday, was suppose to be 70, but it was a lovely day. 
So how is all with you here?Any plans for the Holiday? Hope to hear from some today.

Seems we all have a time to wait on the lord, some for health, some for finances, some for homes even. It seems we all have something we are waiting on the lord for. 

When I was a very young Christian God burdened my heart with Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." 

It is a very good lesson to learn, we all spend much time waiting, daily we wait on something, as we wait on the lord we learn patience, we learn how to be still and listen for that still small voice talking to us, there are many reasons to wait, and the best one of all is for God to touch us, to talk to us, and to renew our spirit.. 
I learned to wait, have you...

Wow it has been over a week again; not much new, it is cold here in SE Georgia, and everyone is sick. I do believe half the Country is sick, the virus must of really traveled. I would think the cold temps in the North would of killed it off, but many of my friends there are sick with the same thing we have here. You need a smile right about now?  Well here is Zoie Michelle faring the weather very well. lol

So with cute picture I will close for today, not feeling good at all, keep me in your prayers,  have a very blessed week..

 Happy New Year, I hope you all survived the Christmas rush, and the new year is upon you, ready or not...  We are and have been sick for the new year, I was not ready for this, guess it is the flu, being it has so many aspects, and already ran past the cold time. Keep us in your prayers please, hoping this will pass sooner than later this time.

Well do you want to share how your Christmas went? great, I will too. It was different, nothing earth shattering, but a really good time spent with friends and family, and God has been so good to us, and our family is such a blessing. We ate far too much, and traveled many miles to see our children, it used to be they all came here, so what happened...At any rate  we made our rounds from St Marys Georgia to Jacksonville, Florida, had a good time with all.

So it is a new year with new beginnings, and may we leave the past behind, and move on to today, we cannot undo anything we did last year, but we have control of today.. Use it wisely, let Christ lead you daily, and use his pattern for your life. He has it all written in the Bible, how to live each day, how to grow in Christ, even how to live well with others. Let us all grow into what Jesus wants us to be, so when others look at us, they see him. On that note I will leave you today, with a very Happy New Year and a God bless you real good. 

OKAY HERE IT IS

Strange eh,  a white bloom on a pink plant... Thought I would share with you, I have never seen this, but I have it, and think it is pretty cool.

We had an awesome Christmas, so many blessings that I cannot even remember them all, we went to several churches too and that was special seeing our friends from all over this time of year.

Are you doing anything special for New Years Eve?  I wanted to find a watch night service, but did not find one in our area, I know some in Jacksonville, but that is too far to travel new years eve, too many drunks on the roads, and not wanting to start the new year off in any mishaps. 

So that about does it for now. I pray all who read will have a very blessed new year, and put Christ first and for most in you life all year. May God bless you real good.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I just want to say, Good Morning and  hope you have a very Merry Christmas..
This is my Christmas Cactus, It is over 20 years old, blooms this time every year,
simply gorgeous;I have took some of its leaves when they break off and have two other plants growing now, I noticed one of them has a white bloom coming out on it, (WHAT) yeah,
not sure what that is about but waiting until it is in full bloom then I will take a picture.

So tell me are you ready for the big day? We do not do much for Christmas since the kids all live in other states, but will go to my one daughters Christmas day, her and her family will be there, we will
take some of the bake goods I have been baking too.

The days are flying by, and seems there is not enough time in one day to get all done. Hope you all have a very blessed Christmas Holiday, and that everyone stays safe, and praise the lord for whom all blessing come from.

Lazy Monday, just kicking it back today, it was a busy day yesterday, Chuck preached at our church last night, such a blessing, I always love hearing him preach, touches my heart every time.. He preached last Sunday in a church in Blackshear, both services, such a great time of preaching, food and fellowship.  I was thinking how blessed I am, since I turned my life over to Christ I feel secure that any problem that arises he will help me with it...Let me tell you there is no problem too big for my God to handle, we have had many testings through the years and I know from experience God takes over when you let him, he will get you through whatever you are going through, whether it be a health problem, death of a loved one, financial need, just anything that arises in our life, he will be there to help you through. So pick up your cross and carry it proudly for the lord, Yep, try it you'll like it.

Have a very blessed Day, be happy in the Lord, rejoice and again he said rejoice...Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the lord always: and again I say, Rejoice".

(HAPPY THANKSGIVING)

Nothing like the month of November to remind us of all God has blessed us with, through out the year; Let us keep our minds on him, not the turkey, or the pies but what our blessed Saviour has done for us. He loved us to death, his death on that old rugged cross, he laid down his life for me, and for you. May we take a few minutes every day just to thank him.

Psalm 100:4-5 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures all generation. Blessings!

My heart just sings as I put all these verses of thanksgiving on my Face Book page, join with me and post your favorite verses of thanksgiving too, let us see how many we can get before Thanksgiving day, November is a month that we seem to focus more on being thankful, more than any other month, although we should be giving God our praise and thanks daily. So do post your verse in this post too, thank you and May God bless you and may we all be thankful for the very air we breath in.

I pray each of you have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving,  Do not eat too much.

It is amazing how fast the time is going, Thanksgiving will be here in just a week or so.
We are having family in for Thanksgiving, we bought a 23 pound Turkey the other day, I do the major of the cooking, and the kids bring sides, drinks and desserts, I am making an Watergate Salad though, think I will add t to my Love and a bite of Brownie page. 

My husband is preaching a funeral today,the husband of one of our ladies in Woodbine Church, Chuck led him to the lord a few years ago, and after a year of illness he passed on, but praise God we will see him again. Keep the Allen Crews family in your prayers.

Guess What??? Give up, well lookie here. We already have our Christmas tree up, did not intend for it, but got a new pre-lit tree and wanted to make sure it worked. Pretty eh...

WelI am running late, need to go and get dressed, be blessed, and keep us in your prayers please.

It has turned cold in Georgia...I really love it though, good football weather. Loved the Florida Georgia game, Florida won, we have been Gator fans for ever, and happy to see them win over Georgia this year. My dear husband celebrating the win, giggles...

He really enjoyed this game...My great grandsons play foot ball too, they done good this year.

You can see I have my Christmas tree up already too, behind Chuck.It is early but we bought it new and put it up to see if it worked, it looked so pretty we decided to leave it up, still have to put the icicles on it..But it will be up for Thanksgiving, we have the kids come here. Lots to look forward to.

Going to be a busy month, but thank God I am able to do all that needs to be done. I praise the lord for allowing me the health to keep going.

I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day, and that you will give thanks daily for all God has given you. Be blessed, and do be a Blessing.

Psalm 69:30  I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with Thanksgiving.
