I thought since it seems are lives are so difficult and sometimes on the negative side. Maybe we might just start acknowledging blessings each day. Maybe this will help us keep ourselves from falling into all the negative. Like today I am blessed because I noticed my patience is getting better. I hope you all can see at least one blessing a day. Even though we have many we sometimes don't think about or see. May God Bless.
We had sunshine that was wonderful.
Everyone is doing fine.
And Jesus died for me, for all.
Every breath is a blessing.
Thank you Lord.
“No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.”
1 John 4:12
I woke up with joy in my soul cause I knew my Lord had control
I knew I was walkin' in the light cause I'd been on my knees in the night
And I'd pray till the Lord gave a sign and now I'm feeling mighty fine
Well I'm feeling mighty fine I've got heaven on my mind
Don't you know I want to go where the milk and honey flow
There's a light that always shines down inside this heart of mine
I've got heaven on my mind and I'm feeling mighty fine
We're walking with Jesus all the time we're walking and talking as we climb
We're traveling a road to the sky where I know I'll live when I die
He's been telling me all about that land and he tells me that everything is grand
And he says that a home will be mine and now I'm feeling mighty fine
Well I'm feeling mighty fine I've got heaven on my mind
Don't you know I want to go where the milk and honey flow
There's a light that always shines down inside this heart of mine
I've got heaven on my mind and I'm feeling mighty fine
I was glad to see it and be able to watch them until they moved on.
Thank you Lord for all blessings great and small. Even the small are great.
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Matthew 6:26
It was good they praised God for their win.
Hope your back feels better soon.
So glad they won. They deserve it! They played so well this season. Have to say that an Ohio kid made all the difference in the world to the team. Joe Burrow is an awesome quarterback. Very humble guy, just like Drew Bres with our New Orleans Saints. They are both No. 9.
The LSU win is great! Would have been a double whammy if we lost because our NFL team, New Orleans Saints lost to the Vikings. Vikings played well. Congrats to them. Of course, New Orleans Saints fans are die hard fans! We always want them to win but we love them anyway if they lose.
Years ago the team was so bad, they were nicknamed the Ain’ts instead of Saints. Hahaha and fans wore bags over their heads because they were so embarrassed to be at the games.
By the way, Coach O at LSU who is a wonderful man struggled with alcoholism many years ago. It’s so wonderful to see a person functioning well in society while in recovery from an addiction.
I so wanted that for your cousin. Maybe, one day, down the road. People say things happen in God’s time, not ours. I suppose so.
I say that He gives us free will and He desires for us to choose good with our free will. Sometimes humans goof in making choices, also there is always a spiritual warfare going on, right? Temptations!
This is why we all should learn The Lord’s Prayer. It’s words directly out of the mouth of Jesus teaching us to pray, “Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil. Amen”
Good thing classes were cancelled for tomorrow at LSU because there will be a celebration in our city tonight! Traffic will be crazy, especially since President Trump and Melania attended the game.
What a year to remember for my daughter’s graduating year!
Clemson played well. Their coach just said something so sweet. He said, He gives thanks to God for His grace to be a part of Clemson’s team. They are tigers too. So it was tigers against tigers.
I am so blessed to know Jesus.
Thank you Lord.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
Psalms 111:4
Thank you Lord for another day to try and do better, and for your tender mercies, and longsuffering to usward.
.............for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10
Thank you Lord for your mercy.
Tell It To Jesus
Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Have you sins that to men's eyes are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
(Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a Friend that's well known.
You've no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone)
Revelation 21:4
DH and I got the house ready to be rented ( the one that we rented for cousin) and already have it rented again.
Hallelujah!!!
That will be a load off. And the owner was perfectly ok with all of it, so thank you Lord.
This World Is Not My Home
This world is not my home I'm just passing through
my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
if Heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do?
the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
my savior pardoned me and now I onward go
I know He'll take me through though I am weak and poor
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
if Heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do?
the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Just up in Glory Land we'll live eternally
the Saints on every hand are shouting victory
their song of sweetest praise drifts back from Heaven's shore
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
if Heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do?
the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I pack the food boxes with non perishable items. I like it. Sometimes I do organizing the food donations which is then packed into the boxes. I decided that I didn’t want to do clerical work. I have done tons of that in paid jobs.
I just felt like being more involved with the ‘hands on’ detail. I didn’t want to do distributions or collections and deal with a lot of driving.
It is a blessing to be able to contribute to our local community. I have met some really nice people too.
I am so thankful that Mom is doing well and is happy.
I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed us another day and another year.
I am so thankful that we are in a warm house, it is so cold outside.
I am soooooo very thankful for Jesus Christ, our King of kings and Lord of lords.
I am so very blessed, thank you Dear Lord.
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
1 Timothy 6:15
Let us give Him a big thank you for being our God, friend, provider, protector, a way maker and giving us His life.🙏🙌🎄
Happy Birthday Jesus!🎂🎈
I am also thankful for the thoughtfulness of DH, that I havent seen in a while. So I have been talking about for a long time this food processor I want. Well unbeknownst to me he has been searching all over for one for my birthday Thursday. He finally just ordered one online. So I am excited about that, I have been wanting one for a long time. Will arrive next week. A food processor and steam mop. What more does a girl need? :)
My true gift however was that he actually has been paying attention and was actually attempting to get me a gift for my birthday. A first well since my first birthday with him. So that is truly what I am thankful for. His effort. It wouldn't have mattered if it was a piece of gum, just to be thought of, feels nice.
"Ain't No Grave"
Oh, shame is a prison as cruel as a grave
Shame is a robber and he's come to take my name
Oh, love is my redeemer, lifting me up from the ground
Love is the power when my freedom song is found
Oh, fear is a liar with a smooth and velvet tongue
Fear is a tyrant, he's always telling me to run
Oh, love is a resurrection and love is a trumpet sound
Love is my weapon, I'm gonna take my giants down
Oh, there was a battle, a war between death and life
And there on a tree, the Lamb of God was crucified
And He went on down to hell, He took back every key
He rose up as a lion and He set all captives free
There ain't no grave
Could hold His body down
There ain't no grave
Could hold His body down
When He heard the trumpet sound
He rose up outta the ground
There ain't no grave
Could hold His body down
There ain't no grave
Could hold His body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
And when I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
We are going out to dinner Christmas Eve with daughters. Going to hear music. Then going to Midnight Mass.
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:15
Merry Christmas ~
All gifts wrapped and under tree.
Went to church with mom and family
Who will be by your side when the ones you love doesn't love you? Who will wipe your tears when no one is around? Who can you call on in the midnight hour? Jesus that's who!
I can not thank You my Lord and Savior enough for all You have done and for all You do. But thank You for dying and giving me and so many others life. Be the light that You are my Lord and show us Your children the way.🙏🙌
Merry Christmas everybody and I pray you all find answers to your problems and peace in your hearts!🙌🙏👏💓😁
Lots of Hugs
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing 'Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the night sky
And stay by my side till morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there
Plus this company has several locations so if she chooses to transfer to another state at another point in time for a different opportunity she has that option.
I love that! We can choose to be an innkeeper to Jesus.
On a trip to New England we stayed at several bed and breakfast. They are so personal compared to a hotel. A family acting as hosts. I love family inns.
The story of the birth of Jesus is so interesting. The nativity scenes are my favorite of all Christmas decorations because it’s the most meaningful. I love when churches choose to do a ‘living nativity’ scene. I love to view the baby Jesus. Many years ago when my friend’s church did the living crèche, her son was selected to be the baby Jesus.
Three hours? Geeeeez, long time! Do you take that laughing gas? I tried it once when my dentist recommended it. I hated it! I swear I had a bad reaction to it. I had the dentist stop it immediately. I can’t explain it other than it was an odd feeling like I was flying around the room.
Glad you got through it okay.
I am so claustrophobic.
So all the while I was singing and praying to the Lord.
And alas I made it through
The healing pains will be a pleasure compared to the feeling of entrapment. :)
