another cutie

Still in moving mode, new garage loaded with boxes I haven't had time to empty. Old house down to attic, huge job to unearth 30 years of crap and pitch, plus tools, then on to paint, and fix up so you can put it on the market.

Have to find a escape proof puppy screen door for the front, for now it's a puppy gate, Libby only weighs 5 lbs but is a good jumper. And fast as they make them, she has escaped the new house 4 times now, and been caught in seconds by neighbors. That is when the puppy gate went in. And you can leave no room open, paper favorite target next to shoes.

” ...
Jesus told us to pray for those who persecute us (Matt. 5:44), and that includes more than strangers who hate us. God is able to give us grace to persevere through persecution even when it comes from those we love.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you ever feel like ‘one crying in the wilderness’? We are surrounded by worldly people. Unbelievers that make no move to listen or have interest in the Word/Scriptures.

‘New Age’ teaching which essentially tells us we are god is working its way into the thinking of society more every day. Just like Satan, at times we want to be prideful. It is deceptive and has been proved to work.

God help us. God bless America. Open our heart, mind, soul, spirit and strength to turn to Thee, in Jesus name, amen

Psalm 145:5

New International Version (NIV)

5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.”
************************************************************

Our days are filled with needed chores, hurry, running errands, watching TV, listening to the radio, visiting with friends, God sees it all. We fall into bed tired from the trials of the day and pray for our family, and give thankful gratitude for our blessings of the day. To be repeated tomorrow. Father forgive us for our careless way of coming before thee in adoration, praise, joy, and love. Help us to be pleasing before Thee, in Jesus name, amen.

To: The Mayor
That golden eagle told my son and me a story of the creative genius of our mighty God. So does the flitting songbird, the doe with her playful fawn, the pounding surf, and delicate little flowers such as bachelor’s-button and spring beauty. In the most unexpected moments and out-of-the-way places the Lord shines His glory in this world in order to reveal Himself to us. Those serendipitous moments are opportunities to “meditate . . . on [His] wondrous works” (v.5).

Thank you for your Faithfulness in Posting these Excellent Devotionals, Your Honor.

(((((God Bless!)))))

“Don’t Worry, Dad!”

May 9, 2013

Last summer, my husband and I hosted a concert and fundraiser for childhood cancer research. We planned to have the event in our backyard, but weather forecasts were dismal. A few hours before the event, we began calling our 100+ guests to inform them of a change in venue. As our friends and family began feverishly toting food, decorations, and equipment from our house to our church gym, our daughter Rosie took a moment to give her dad a hug and remind him on behalf of the kids and grandkids that they were there for him: “Don’t worry, Dad! We’ve got your back.”

Hearing that expression is comforting because it reminds us that we’re not on our own. Someone is saying, “I’m here. I’ll take care of whatever you might miss. I’ll be a second set of eyes and hands for you.”

As the Israelites were escaping a life of slavery, Pharaoh sent his army of chariots and horsemen to give chase (Ex. 14:17). But “the Angel of God . . . and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them” (v.19). In this way, God hid and protected them throughout the night. The next day, He parted the Red Sea so they could safely cross over.

God tells us “Don’t worry” as well. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31).

God’s hand that holds the ocean’s depths
Can hold my small affairs;
His hand that guides the universe
Can carry all my cares. —Anon.
Our work is to cast care; God’s work is to take care!

Read: Exodus 14:19-25

The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. —Isaiah 58:8
Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 7-9; John 1:1-28

The migration of Monarch butterflies, the distance they cover, and the beauty of thousands of butterflies is astonishing. The beauty and wonder of Hummingbirds is another time when we take time to notice and wonder at the amazing creations of our LORD.

Thank you, LORD, is much to small a thank you.

God created the heavens, the universe and might still be creating ... it is God’s nature to CREATE. WOW!
