The Blessing of Friends

Today has been a great day.  I am amazed how many people I have met on the internet who love the Lord Jesus Christ and know him as their Savior.  Jesus is in control, even the internet.  Thank you Jesus for leading me to people who love You.  Thank you for all the friends I have made, who I may not meet until we meet in heaven.  Lord Jesus I love you so very much, thank you for saving, because I could not save myself, you did it all.  Help me Lord Jesus to serve you.

Scripture Reading: Psalms 24:5-6
"He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.  This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah."

Royal Friday

Hi Everyone,  I'm sure many of you have watched the royal wedding.  I did on the computer.  It was beautiful.  I remember when Prince William's mother got married, she too was beautiful.  She would be so proud.  Kate too was beautiful.  What was most beautiful was the fact that Jesus Christ was praised.  After all He is the architect of marriage, He performed the very first marriage in the Garden of Eden and He was also present at the marriage of Cana.  The Lord looks very highly on marriage. 

I think for the scripture reading today I will do a scripture on marriage:  Genesis2:21-24
"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:  And the rib , which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.  And Adam said, This now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.  Therefor shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

The song of the day:  Blest be the Tie that Binds
"Blest be the tie that binds, Our hearts in Christian love!  The fellowship of kindred minds  Is llike to that above."

Everyone have a blessed day.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.  I once was lost but now I'm found was blind but now I see."

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 24:1-2
"he earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: the world, and they that dwell therein.  For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods."

Easter Monday

Hi All,

Hope all had a great Resurrection Day.  The church service was great as we remembered one of the greatest victories in the history of man kind, Victory of death, hell and the grave.  This was accomplished by the only one that could do it and that was the Lord Jesus Christ.  Praise the Lord!  I was also able to spend the day with my husband, son and his girlfriend, as well as my mom, and younger sister and her family. 

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 19:10 - 11
"More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.  Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward."

Song of the Day:  Victory In Jesus
I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory, How He gave is live on Calvary to save a wretch like me:  I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning, Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.  O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!  He sought me and bought with His redeeming blood, He loved me ere I knew Him, all my love is due Him - He plunged me to victory beneath the cloeansing flood."

Saturday

Hi Everyone,
Spent the day cooking and cleaning.  Thinking about tomorrow.  Easter service at church.  Looking forward to it, this is a very special day.  a day when we remember what the Lord Jesus di for the world.

Scripture Reading:  John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."  I know that I have posted this verse before, but it is such a vital verse.  It says so much.  God gave everything when He sent His son to died on the cross of Calvary.  Jesus came to earth in the form of man to pay the price so that we might have eternal life.  It's not about the Easter bunny it ALL ABOUT JESUS. 

Tomorrow is resurrection day.  Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus.  I love you.

Good Friday

Hi Everyone,

Good friday is almost over.  Yes I have missed a few days with my blog.  Sorry about that.  Today was the last day for the friday morning Bible study.  It will start up again in August.  I still go to the thursday Bible study.  We are studying Sara.  It is such a good study.  I am leaning alot.

Scripture Reading: Psalms 19: 7-9
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.  The statutes of the Lord are right rejoicing the heart: the commandments of the Lord is pure; enlightening the eyes.  The fear of the Lord is clean encuring for ever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

Song of the Day: The Old Rugged Cross
"On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best  For a world of lost sinners was slain.  so I'll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last I lay down,  I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown."

It's Another Rainy Day, Praise the Lord

Hi There,  Yeh, I know you are thinking, Praise the Lord ofr another rainy day.  Yep, God is good and we need the rain to help the plants grow and it is always good to Praise the Lord.

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 19:3-4
"There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.  In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun."

Song of the Day:  He Leadeth Me
"He leadeth me! O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whatever I do, wherever I be , Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me! He leadeth me, He leadeth me, by His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful follower I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me."

Praise the Lord for His word and encouragement, guidance, counsel and comfort they give.  Thank You for the song writers who used the talent you gave them to write the uplifting and inspiring words.

Yesterday, I worked on a mini album for my adopted granddaughter for Easter.  She will be going back to Vietnam in June and I don't know when I will see her again.  The pictures I put in the mini are a couple from the Palm Garden at the Santa Barbara Zoo.  We had a good time that day.  It was the girls day out.  Tiffany, Kristina, Abby and Ngan spent the day enjoying the animals and plant life at the zoo and we toured downtown Santa Barbara.  (Even lost the car at one point) but we had fun.

i also worked on another page for the page swap I am involved in.  I am having so much fun.  When I am done with them I am going to do a video for YouTube.

Well got to run.  Have a blessed day in the Lord.

Fantastic Friday

Praise the Lord, He is so good.  God answers prayer.  I praise Him for walking with me everyday, lighting my path and being my high and strong tower of strength and guidance.

Today is Bible study our next to last one in the study of Pearls from Proverbs.  It is so good.  Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the Bible.  Filled with wisdom, understanding and guidance.

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 92: 13 - 15
"Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our god.  They shall still bring forth fruit in old age: they shall be fat and flourishing:  To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock and there is no unrighteousness in him."

Song of the day: 
"We will enter His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts we will enter His courts with praise.  We will say this is the day the Lord hath made, we will rejoice for He has made me glad.  He has made me glad, He has made me glad, I will rejoice for He has made me glad."

Wonderful Wednesday

It is still rainy and chilly but God is good.  another day with the Lord what more could a person ask for.  Tonight is Bible study at church we are still studying I and II Thessalonians.  It is a great study.

Scripture Reading for the day:  Psalms 92:10 - 12
"But my horn shalt thou exalt  like the horn of an unicorn:  I shall be anointed with fresh oil.  Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.  the righteous shall flourish like the paln tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon."

This reminds me of a song:  A Mighty Fortress
A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing: Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing  for still our ancient foe  Doth seek to work us woe-His craft and pwer are great, And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not His equal.

God is our refuge, strength and fortress.  Depend on Him daily.

Have a blessed day.

Song of the Day

I forgot to put the song of the day in my tuesday post.  Here it is:

God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me.  He understands, He understands, He understands, He's so good to me.

This is so appropriate for me, especially today.  He has seen me through again.  He never fails me, He is my shield, bucker, high and strong tower, fortress, my hiding place, my Savior, Lord and King.  Praise Him, Praise Him, Jesus my blessed redeemer, He's my rock...

If you have a song in your heart, sing it out or share it with me here on my blog.

God is so Good

Today I received a message on fb from a very dear friend to let me know she is praying for me.  I really appreciate her and her friendship.  She also gave me some scriptures of encouragement and I want to share them, so they will be the scripture reading for today.

Today's Scripture Reading:   Psalms 86: 2-7
"Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.  Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for I cry unto thee daily.  Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I llift up my soul.  For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive: and plenteous inmercy unto all them that call upon thee.  Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.  In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou will answer me."

These are very encouraging words from the Word of God and I hope and pray that all who read them will be encouraged like I am.

Marvelous Monday

What a great start to another week that the Lord has blessed me with.  How great is our God.  It is pleasantly warm although it may rain this afternoon, but that is ok because God is in control and he knows what is best.  I made some special pancakes for breakfast.  The recipe will be in my recipe section on the left of the page. 

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 92:7 - 9

"When the wicked spring as the grass, and whem all the workers of iniquity do flourish: it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:  But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.  For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered."

This reminds me of a song:

VICKTORY IN JESUS

I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory, How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me; I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning, Then I repented of my sins and won the victory,   
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood, He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him-He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood."

Have a blessed day!

The Saturday Post

Hi There,

Just wanted to say that my blog has a new look and I love it.  My wonderful son redesigned it for me and has done a great job.  He is very artistic.  Thank you Jimmy.

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 92: 4 - 6

"For thou, Lord,  hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.  O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.  A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this."

This reminds me a a song.  "O Lord my God, when I in awesome wondering, consider all the worlds thy hands have made.  I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed.  Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee, How Great Thou art, How great thou art, Then sings my soul my Saviour God to thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art."

I hope the scripture and the song has inspired you.  God's Word and the old time hymns always inspire me.

Fridays and Friends

Today has been a pretty good day.  I had Bible study this morning, we learned about the Pearl of a Happy Home.  Excellent!  This afternoon a friend came over, had lunch and talked about Pre-School.  It was alot of fun.  We laughed and got excited about different ideas that can be used in preschool.  It was good.

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 92:1-3

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:  To shew forth thy lovingkindness every night.  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upou the harp with a solemn sound."

Here is a hymn I remember singing many, many years ago.  "Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below,  Praise HIm above ye heavenly hosts, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  Amen. 

Sing the oldtime hymns they are so very spiritually uplifting.

Great Sunday

Today is Sunday, April 3, 2011.  This morning after much prayer and talking with the Pastor my husband and I became members of Harvest Baptist church in Natrona Heights, PA right off of Route 28.  Jim and I have finally found a church home.  I invite all of you who may not have a church home to come up and visit.  Harvest is a chruch where the Word of God is preached, the worship encouraging and the fellowship is sweet. 

Scripture Reading:

Psalms 91: 15-16
     "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him, and honour him.  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."

This ends the reading of Psalms 91.

Friday, April 1, 2011

Ladies Bible study was today and it was great.  Enjoyed learning fromGod's Word with fellow sisters in Christ.  Jim and I also had an appointment with Pastor for church membership.  Our family has finally found a church home, Praise the Lord.

Scripture Reading:

Psalms 91:13 -14
     "thous shalt tread upon the lion and adder:  the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name."

I hope this scriture reading is a blessing to all who read it.  God Bless.
