Our Heavenly Father knows everything about me just as He knows everything about you. He know the things I have done, the sins I have committed and He knows my heart. He knows when I am truly sorry for the things I have done and He knows when I am only paying lip service. As I said He knows everything...<br />
<br />
Father God today I am asking you to help me walk the path you have for me. To help me to always be aware of others that I come in contact with, that they will see the glory of your Son Jesus Christ living in me. Help me to be a light and not a stumbling block to others. Help me to stay true to the course You have for me.... Amen<br />

When we look up to the heavens we will see the many wonders God has blessed us with. The sunrise or the sunset is filled with more colors than we could ever imagine. So the next time you happen to see a sunrise or sunset let His Spirit permeate your soul, from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, as you take in the beauty He has blessed us with in this world and all around us.<br />
<br />
After all He is the master painter...Shirleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07202969209440295449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965910863899070356.post-30141174114515433112020-01-31T17:49:00.001-08:002020-01-31T17:49:34.283-08:00One day at a time...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Everyday that we receive from God is a present. We awake each morning with a brand new start a head of us as yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here. What we do with that day is totally in our hands. We can choose to walk our way without consulting God and His plan for us because we are given free choice. When we do that we are simply saying God I've got this and I don't need you today. I have found that when I do this I really mess things up and then I give them to God to straighten out. Wouldn't it so much simpler to begin each and everyday with our Heavenly Father, asking Him for His guidance throughout our day.<br />
<br />
Well I don't know about you but I will choose the joy of the Lord for without God's strength I would not make it through each day.<br />
<br />
There is an old song that goes something like this...<br />
<br />
The joy of the Lord is my strength<br />
The joy of the Lord is my strength<br />
<br />
He give me living water and I thirst no more<br />
He give me living water and I thirst no more<br />
<br />
For the joy of the Lord is my strength<br />

Have you noticed that as long as you are walking facing the sun you can not see your shadow. Oh it will follow you where ever you go but will not dim the sun shining on you.<br />
<br />
There is an old song that says this...<br />
<br />
Turn your eyes upon Jesus<br />
Look full in His wonderful face<br />
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim<br />
In the light of His glory and grace.<br />
<br />
So when shadows try to over take you, focus your eyes on Jesus as He will make them grow dim and all you will see is the glory of God shining through....<br />

We are always complaining about the blessings someone else has received wondering why God chose to bless them instead of us when we should be taking a look at our own life. When we do that we will see that God has blessed each of us greatly. All we have to do is look around us and we see more than we ever expected to see. Each and every day He gives us so many blessings that our cups overflow with His bounty.<br />
<br />
There is an old song that goes something like this:<br />
<br />
Count your blessings, name them one by one<br />
Count your blessings, see what God has done<br />
Count your many blessings, name them one by one<br />
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done<br />
<br />
So when you are feeling low take a moment and Count Your Blessings.....Shirleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07202969209440295449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965910863899070356.post-26835752430160404732020-01-24T14:52:00.000-08:002020-01-24T14:52:56.164-08:00Life...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sometimes we take our life here on this planet called earth for granted. We expect to receive all the things we want and sometimes we expect to receive them without having to put forth any effort.<br />
<br />
God's Word tells us in John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.<br />
<br />
This does not mean that we will get everything we want but that God will provide our necessities. Who came that we might have abundant life? Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! He died for you and He died for me.<br />
<br />
Then in Romans 5:17 we are told - For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!<br />
<br />
Except Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, trust in Him to meet the needs of you and your family. When Christ was hanging on that cross He took on all the sins of man that we might have a full and abundant life. <br />
<br />
Trust in Him today.....Shirleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07202969209440295449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965910863899070356.post-47592478877816164022020-01-20T13:06:00.002-08:002020-01-20T13:06:20.076-08:00Worries & Cares<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Every day, every hour, every minute, every second that we have is a gift from God. That is why He tells us in His Word that there is a time for all seasons...<br />
<br />
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8<br />
<br />
The time we are given on this planet we call earth is very precious. We need to use our time wisely and not squander it away. Take time to spend with our Heavenly Father, ask for His direction in your day to day routines. Sometimes our plans for the day will change as we listen and follow His leadership. Think of the many blessings we will receive as we wait on our Heavenly Father and put our day to day routine in His hands.....<br />
<br />
I know I need to be more conscious of how I use my time and I pray that our Heavenly Father will show me how to use it wisely as I follow Him....<br />

<br />
1. Garden - There is an old hymn, In the Garden, and it is a favorite of mine. I love this hymn as it tells me I will always find God in the garden, where He will walk with me, talk with me and He tells me I am His own. So whenever trials come your way think of this song and talk them over with God.<br />
<br />
2. Warmth - Not only will we find warmth by a fireside but also find it in the arms of another. Sometimes all we need is a warm hug to brighten our day and ease our load.<br />
<br />
3. Friend - We all have that one friend we can count on whenever the going gets tough. We know they will not judge us but will be there with a smile in their eyes as they wrap us in a warm hug.<br />
<br />
Blessings today as you find the three welcomes in your life...Shirleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07202969209440295449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965910863899070356.post-27211659117370597962020-01-07T09:52:00.000-08:002020-01-07T09:52:03.856-08:00Non essentials<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>We all need to take a look around us and start clearing out the non essentials in our lives.

Why do we try to hide the things we do? Oh we can try to hide them from our family, our friends, our neighbors but our Heavenly Father sees all. He knows the intention of our heart but still loves us. He loves us when we do wrong. He loves us with an unconditional love. There is nothing we can do that will separate us from our Father's love. He does asks that we ask for forgiveness when we have strayed and to come to Him with a heart that is ready to repent of the things we have done wrong. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember when things go wrong in our lives and we feel that God is not there for us that it wasn't Him that moved it was us. God's Word tells us that if we will draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.</div>

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8</div>

I am so glad that my Father walks beside me as I grasp His hand and let Him guide me through each day. There are times that I feel He is not there with me but then I discover that it not He who has moved away it is I as I try to handle things my way.<br />
<br />
Father God thank for your mercy and grace that are new to me each morning.

Deborah today you would have been 54 years young and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. We miss you but know that you are happy in heaven hanging out with Grandma Zola, Papa Leo, your Momma Linda and your Dad Larry. <br />
<br />
You have been on my mind today and I can't help but think about your favorite poem and what it meant to you.<br />
