My Delight Is In The Lord!

In you, Lord, do I give my thanks. I refuse to follow the footsteps of those who will not listen to you. If they should scorn your ways, I will defend you with all my might.

My thoughts and delights are on you Lord! I want to drink from your living water. When the fiery trials and temptations come, I shall not wither. I will stand firm on your promises, Oh Lord. I will keep on producing your spiritual fruit and love.

How about you? What delight has the Lord given you lately?

Bless Helpers And Prayer Warriors This Day!

God's protection for me has been marvelous. Yesterday I had to go to the Dr. and get some medicine; I knew it was a sinus infection; my face truly was hurting. So I am so thankful that's all it is. Brothers and sisters in Christ often share and encourage each other in God's love. Tiny clusters of believers form, heling up needs in prayer. It makes me feel God is healing the downtrodden. These are the helpers and prayer warriors. Are you one?

I'm thankful God helps me shed my pride and take the step to get help from my Dr. I'll be up and at 'em real soon. Just need the rest and His love to surround me and give me comfort. Be blessed this day.

Much Love,
Carol

Lots of Posts!!!

I apologize profusely that I do not blog every day. I guess FB took over for me. I do think about you every single day and pray that if you read them still, please know I pray for you and love your comments! God is sooooooo wonderful and I fully rely on Him to run all our lives. Let me hear from you. II Tim. 2:15 - I love that scripture! How about you?

Stay Close To God

He will see you through. Rely fully on Him. Call upon Him in prayer, snuggle up to Him and ask for His help with ANY problem you have! That's why He is there. His promises in the Bible are marvelous to read when you don't know what to do. But, this will be short and sweet, stay close to Him and He will carry you through!!!!! Happy Friday!

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!!!!

Serving the Lord

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.
Exodus 23:25

Are You A Loving Person?

YES.....I GIVE LOVE 24 hours a day. I feel that is God's love flowing from my desire to live for Him and give Him honor and glory. I love reading about love, teaching love, and living love. It's super great to tell family members I love them. We all need it. About once a week I look and relook up scriptures that teach love. It makes me feel so happy and well. How about you? Do you show your love?

Creativity

What is happening to our creativity? How did we lose faith in our own natural talents tot hink, create, solve problems, look at things in new ways, use our imaginations make stuff from nothing, dream, explore, and invent.

As women, we must reclaim our innate creativity and self-expression.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.

Keep the channel open; live each day from your own creative source, above all else, keep the channel open!!!

Take Time To Praise The Lord!!!!

Every one I responded to yesterday I remembered to tell them to praise the Lord! He brings beautiful blessings! This will be short - just a reminder. I took time and it worked! Praise the Lord! Yes, God is always there to get the honr and glory!!!!

God's Voice

How wonderful it is when God speaks to our hearts. He warns us of entrapments and consoles us in times o sadness. How satisfying to feel the warmth of His approval when we've done right. He wants us to stay in tune. Each time we listen carefully for His still small voice throughout the day, we experience joy and peace. Then we are thankful we listened. He helps us avaoid a lot of mistakes and hearttaches.

The next time you pray, remember SAL: Stop, Acknowledge Him, and Listen. Then we can go and serve.

I pray your Tuesday is blessed in a great way. I suggest Proverbs 3:5-6 to read and take it as a wonderful promise. Have a great day!

Find Answers

I would suggest look for answers to life's adversities. We live by faith as we are retired. I have redo the budget a kazillion times. It works out barely some times, but I must constantly find answers.

1. God supplies....we totally rely on Him.
2. We thank him fifty times a day for supplying.
3. We look for bargains, so we don't blow the budget.
4. We keep looking until we find the answer. There HAS to be one and there is!!!

Try it, you'll love it!!

Happy Friday!!!! FNDN!!! : )

Is It Happy At Your Home?

Do you long for more happiness?

Do you find yourself wondering why everything is chaos?

Do you love yourself?

How about your hubby? Is he a happy man?

Psalm 138:8 "The Lord will perfect that which concerns him; His mercy endures forever; do not forsake the works of your hands for Him."

Remember prayer and devotions in your home. Showing the love of the Lord to the family.

Keep it in your heart to be happy. Who wants to be around a grump? I know I don't.

Last night we got an e-mail from our son reminding us to stay out of the heat. To me, he has a happy home; that's an extremely happy thought and we were so glad he cares!

Enjoy a happy home!!!!

Love Really Does Make The World Go Round!!!!

Are you in love?
Do you truly love our Savior?
Do you love your spouse?
Do you love your self?
Do you tell people you love them?
How about your family?
Is there a time that you tell them you love them?
How about your pet?

I call it "hurts til it quits."
I do NOT MIND AT ALL telling someone I love them!!!
It really does make the world go round and makes me feel so good!!!

Try it, you'll love it!!!
Look up all Love scriptures in the Bible; you'll all of a sudden come under conviction for not telling others!

Hey, thanks for reading this. I want to tell you I love you for caring!!!!

Loving Thy Neighbor

Our neighbor to the right of us - Jose and Martha are great neighbors. Yesterday, my husband helped him to clip some limbs that were bothering the wires at our home. I think our husband is such a tremendous Christian for doing that. I can't even imagine how it gave me chills that he was so caring. What an outstanding Christian my husband is. But, God uses us to help couples and the only Pastor that we know of who is helping couples with disturbed marriages. Pray for us and know God gets the honor and glory and we pray for love for others! That's what it's all about!
