God's Story of Love, Throw back Thursday


Update, my hubby continues to improve but still needs care, 
I would love for him to be 100% again!








Throw back Thursday!
from April, 2018

A few weeks ago I received a summons for Jury Duty. My first thoughts were, "oh my, how am I
going to be able to do this, I need to be with my 
husband who's unable to do much for himself, even though he wants too, he  doesn't need to be left alone for a long period of time."
He no longer drives and needs to be driven to doctors appointments and Physical Therapy.
I began to pray as I filled out the paper to be mailed back. I checked the box that said I was a caregiver and needed to be excused. 

""
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
proclaim his deeds among the people"
Psalm 105:1

I told my 3 daughters, and they began to pray also that the Lord would work this out in my favor.
Monday when I went to fulfil my duty, I found myself sitting between two ladies. We began to talk with each other as we waited for the judge. I found myself encouraging them and they me. I am amazed how God works to bring peace and comfort in times of stress. Two ladies I had never met and may never meet again was placed there for support. I have always felt like my Spiritual Gift was to be an encourager, although God tells us all to 'encourage one another'.

" Therefore encourage one another"
1 Thessolonians 5:11

I was dismissed from jury duty and came away feeling blessed to have been given the opportunity to encourage these two ladies. I have learned that we will be blessed with joy and peace when we bless others. God hears and answers our prayers!

"Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works."
Psalm 105:2


I love to tell the story of how God blesses me.



Have a Blessed Day!

Good Afternoon Update on Hubby






I wake up each morning,
thankful for the blessing
I am given, to wake up.

My hubby is doing better,
getting a little stronger
each day. So much to 
thank God for.
He is having Home Health
Care coming about every
day. It's good to have someone
come and check on him and 
see that he exercises. He doesn't
like to but is trying.

Have a Blessed Day!

Good Tuesday Morning




"The heavens declare the glory of God.
the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
Psalm 19:1

God has had his hands on my family, my 
daughter was sick for days and finally was
admitted to the hospital with streptococcal pneumonia.  
After several days in quarantined in the hospital 
she was released and doing better, still has a way
to go before she's completely well. This stuff
should be taken seriously. I am so thankful for
prayers and God's healing hand on her. I give 
Him praise!

"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is
God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

I thank you O Lord, for your loving touch
on my daughter, Debbie, and bringing back
her health. Glory and honor and Praise for
all you do. Amen!


Enjoy your week, and be thankful!

A New Year of Hope and Gratitude



I am so gratitude for all God's blessings
last year.  He held me and blessed me
in more ways than I deserve.
I Hope this year will bring me closer to
Him and many more blessings.

I am just now finding time to blog, but
may need to continue my break, for my
hubby is still having TMI's and have had
3 this last week. Friday morning he goes
for 2 scan's, a MRI and EEG of the brain.

Life is full of mountain's and valley's, 
but God has always proven faithful in both.
In all my struggles He has held me and 
I am confident he will be with us through
this.

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope
for and assurance about what we do not
see."
Hebrews 11:1


December 20th was our 55th Anniversary! 
Here's a photo!

Tuesday Blessings





God puts people in our lives at just the right time
to help and show His love.

  I found this so true yesterday as I spent the day in the ER after having a reaction to the Lubricant shot my doctor put in my knee. I passed out for some time and was unresponsive. I was transported to the hospital a hour away. In the ambulance on the way there, the EMT and I begin to talk, I soon discovered that he was a friend of my grandson. He was such a nice young man, he talked to me the whole time and kept me calm. He even let me
know when my blood pressure begin to rise. It had fell very low and my heart rate, they thought I was having a heart attack, but no I wasn't, just a severe reaction  to the shot.
Just before we got to the hospital he asked if he
could pray for me, I said yes, he held my hand and prayed. I was so calm and after several hours, all kinds of test results came back to show I was OK, 
they let me go home. All my family had left jobs, school and other things they had planned and came to be with me.

All the nurses were so kind and I am so blessed that God was with me. Just that morning before I left to go to the doctor He put two verses in my mind.

 Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the Lord; thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end."
and
Matthew 29:20
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you and, lo, I am with you 
always, even unto the end of the world."

We are commanded as believers to show love to one another. I was shown so much love yesterday and I thank God and give Him all honor and glory.

John 15: 12
"This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you."

Today as we go about our lives, look for someone
you can show love to, maybe a smile or a helping hand. You never know when someone may need it!

Be Blessed

My Great Grandson and my Birthday




Friday was my birthday so I told my
grandson, Joshua that I wanted a visit
from my great grandson, Jase.

Mommy and Daddy brought him for lunch yesterday.


He is 3 weeks old now, eating (formula) good 
and growing.


It looks like he's trying to sing
"Happy Birthday" to me.
I think so anyway!

I enjoy every moment I can get with him.
He's such a blessings.

Thankful and Blessed

Thankful to Serve




As I woke this morning my mind was on my attitude. Yes, I have to admit sometimes it isn't
what it should be... is God trying to show me this!

I get caught up in all my household chores and helping and doing for others. My hubby isn't in the best of health and sometimes demands, what I think is a lot of me. I cry out (to myself) "I am not your servant."  But is this not as believers what we're suppose to do. I am reminded that Jesus came to serve, not to be served.

"I am among you as one who serves"
Luke 22:27


I have to ask myself, do I go about the day, with this in mind?  Whatever position in life we hold we should remember to carry out our role with the attitude of service.

This morning as I started out with this in mind, and  got out my daily devotion and read it, then again in my new ladies devotional book; to my amazement this was the same theme. 
Luke 22:24-27

"Yes, I do believe God was trying to get my attention!" 
Yes, and He did get it!






" This morning, O Lord, I thank you for your grace and promises. Lead me in Your ways and fill my heart with Your love and joy. Help me to choose to serve others rather than to expect to be served!'
Amen



Have a Blessed Day!

Thankful Thursday





I am thankful for all the Valentine wishes from
all my sweet blogger friends, Facebook friends and family. 
I truly hope everyone had a great day. 
Hubby and I spent the day together shopping and
had lunch together at one of our favorite restaurants.
After a day of fun and togetherness, it's back to that ole duty, housework!  Someone has to do it so guess that someone is me. Blah! It's not too bad. I am thankful for a home for shelter, for food and  so many other daily blessings.

I am so truly blessed!

Blessings in Disguise




Blessings come in many ways.
We don't always recognize them.
We may believe that we are living a 
life that we should be living. Then
troubles come and cause us to wonder.
We thank God for all he does for us--
but-- we still have troubles come into 
our life, and we're sad cause we don't 
understand why God doesn't answer us
the way we want and when we want Him to.




By being faithful and trusting God and his 
faithfulness in His Time all things will work
out for our good.


"Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face
continually."
1 Chronicles 16:11


When we lose one blessing, another is often
given in it's place.


When troubles come our way, let our heart seek
the Lord!

"Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord"
1 Chronicles 16:10


O Lord in all things, help me to seek your will, and not my own.
Help me to look for you in all my troubles!
Amen

May your day be filled with God's Blessings!
