A Plate Of Cookies

My hubby has been counting carbs so he doesn't get the plate of cookies any more! I always enjoyed making homemade cookies. Now everything leads to diebetic issues. I know I can't eat sugar; it hypes me. I always felt like it was me expressing my love and concern for others through my giving cookies or banana bread. I felt like I was showing my love for the Lord!

Jesus demonstrated giving through his healing, his teaching, and the ultimate gift of his life. Love was the motivator of all He did. We, too, can love others by giving of our help to them. In Luke 6:38 we give, God will give back to us. Our giving doesn't have to be in large quantities. God blesses the small things that we do for others. Giving is like a boomerang; whatever we give usually comes back, just like the plate of cookies I would give!

Thank the Lord, our generous Provider has given us what we need. Help us, Lord to give back to you by giving to others, no matter how small the gift may be.

A day without giving is a day without love.

What Do You Do When You Want To Do Nothing?

I will be the first to say: I still do nothing. Sometimes women carry a heavy load and they're up to the level that we need a rest!

Our daughter asked me what I did yesterday and I said ZERO, nothing! She said she felt that way and is it wrong? Because I said if we don't take care of us, we would have nothing.

So, enjoy your DOING NOTHING DAY and forgive yourself. Just enjoy!!! I really believe God will bless you for taking care of yourselt instead of being a bother to self or people you are around.

ENJOY, try it! It's God's blessings for letter you have rest, joy, peace and a great day! Have you ever done NOTHING? Share what you do or can you let yourself do it?

Our Heavenly Father

Now that my birthday is over, I can concentrate on my beloved blog!

My eyes were opened to how truly wonderful our Heavenly Father is. Since that time, my relationship with Him has never been the same. In Him, I have found all that I have ever needed and now I know the real meaning of peace and happiness. Whatever it is you may be facing, Jesus loves you with a love like no other.

If you will draw close to Him by reading His words, speaking them, and believing them with your heart, then His promises and truths will begin to grow strong within you.

God is forgiving and merciful and we should give Him love and thankfulness for being our Father!

When is God powerful in your life?

For me, it's when I fully depend on Him. He is there. He listens. He won't forsake us! He is our comforter. Ready II Timothy how he did his life! It's a power chapter; chapter 2. It will bless your life and put power in it! Happy Monday everyone!

It's Been A Long Time Coming!!!!!

We've been praying for rain all summer. It is finally raining. Praise the Lord!!!
I'm so happy I could shout!!! Our precious plants are loving it! To pray for rain??? People think it is silly. Not to me. Having to water plants we so carefully planted is so much work, but it's so needed. Share a happy day with me and thank the Lord above!!!

Summer

This is the hottest summer we have ever lived through.

Stay out of the heat.

It really does reach you when you are older. It's pathetic.

It has given me a chance to write in my journal and do some writing on "Love" teaching.

That's the only "great" I can find from it.

Please stay cool and let your rest be great! How about you? Are you very very hot?

A Great Way To Get Scripture Memorized

1. Find a subject you want to know about.
2. Look in the concordance for the one word that has that scripture you want in it.
3. Journal it.
4. Ask God to help you memorize.
5. Study by yourself and go over and over the scripture and the subject.
6. Put the scripture on a 3 X 5 card.
7. Let it follow you around in case you are in a place where you have to wait.
8. Say it over and over and finally put the card away and say it!!!!

I love God's Holy Word. It fills my heart with joy. And I love to memorize scripture. Getting God's help makes me feel like I won't have to worry dimentia as I get older.

Thank you God for helping me and you for praying for me!!!!

And ye shall servethe Lord your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
