"You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for you have created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

Living Life

Have you ever thought of how your life effects others; really meditated on it, not that we should live to please everyone, but wouldn't it be a good thing if each of us treated others the way we want others to treat us.  I believe there would be lots of people that would take notice.

Luke 6:31

"Just as you want men to do to you;do also to them"

 In my devotion this morning a professional author was asked by a young author advice on writing. He was told to write the book that you would want to find on a shelf.

What if we all applied this advice in our daily life this day and time when there are so much choas going on around us. Wouldn't it bring calm and peace to our hearts and souls.

 Our Savior wants us to have a lifestyle of mercy.

Luke 6:27-36

" Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you"

Yes, it is impossible in our own strength, but with God's help and guidance we can accomplish great things!

"All the way my Savior leads me~

What have I to ask beside? 

Can I doubt His tender mercy,

Who through life has been my Guide"

~Crosby~

Wouldn't it be great if everyone would start today allowing Christ to live through us.

May your Day be Blessed!

Friday Foto Friends

 Celebrating the 4th for America's Independence Day, was lots of fun with family and friends.

There were about 25 that gathered at my daughter's home for lots of hamburgers and hot dogs, and table full of food and deserts.

The fireworks were a great big hit. My daughter's brother-n-law and family came up from Florida and brought a trunk load of fireworks.

Here are a few photo's that I took with my camera, it doesn't do them justice, the sky was lite up! 

Even Ellie, the family dog, enjoyed it and got into the spirit with her neck/head band!

Have a Blessed Day!

Being Useful

When my granddaughter was a toddler,my hubby would call her "Tigger" , because she loved to hop and jump around.

When you're young you can do lots of things that you may not be able to do when you get older.

There are always things we Can do.

We can be useful in any season of our life, even though we may not be able to do the same things we did when we were young.

 We may begin to feel useless and hopeless, there is one thing that we can all still do.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three but the greatest of all these is Love.

 Love is one thing we all need and can be given to others in need, at any age. 

We can all show love, by our actions and our words.

"They shall still bring forth fruit in old age";

Psalms 92:14a

Another way to be useful and encouraged is to pray, not only for ourselves but for others.

"Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving"

Colossians 4:2

Praying for others not only helps others but helps us stay close to our heavenly father.

Begin the day with God; 

Kneel down to Him in prayer;

Lift up your heart to His abode,

And seek His love to share~

Dann

"O Lord cleanse my heart and fill it with your love, that I may share it with others today"

Amen

May your day be blessed with Love

Walking in my Sunny Yard

These days are so hot now that I don't get outside as much as I would like. Yesterday I did venture out for a walk around the yard to see how things were growing.

    It was a clear sky day and the Rose of Sharon

was so pretty, I love the color.

       The Petunia hanging basket is growing and spreading.

       The Moss Rose also is growing.
      I love Moss Rose!

This is the pretty Pink Crape Myrtle in my neighbor's yard, but I can see it from my back patio.

Can you see it?

 (across the street)

So the plants are doing good in the mid to high 90's temperatures.
We are enjoying our new neighborhood.

I put this photo on Facebook, thought I would include it here also. I do a lot of porch sitting.

I do try to count my blessings everyday.

 Every day is a blessings!

These are rockers on the screen porch in the cabin we stayed in at FDR State Park, our favorite park to visit and stay in. I love Front Porch Rocking!

Have a Blessed Day!
