It's all in the timing

When the time was right,
   the sea parted,
    the walls fell down,
   the lions went hungry,
the sun stood still,
   the star appeared,
  the waves were calmed,
 the stone was rolled away,
the Lord ascended...
And when the time is right,
  the King of Kings will return. 

God is never early and He's never late---
He's always right on time and His plans for you are good. 

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
                            Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Hope this helps you to know God's love in a fresh, true way, may it inspire you! 

It's a new day!

Technology or the good ole days??

For those of you who have been reading along you will notice that there has been a big gap in dates...simply stated we've had some internet complications!!  My laptop is connected somehow through a router and then something with hubbys desktop and ?????  So there ...now you know I'm not a computer whiz....Hubby's desktop contracted a virus (I told him it was more like a bad case of the flu) and everything went down!!  House phone right along w/both computers, that's what we get for having this 'bundle package' .....needless to say I was rather "miffed"....as I was going to Barnes/Noble r Starbucks to use their wifi....and this went on and on and on.....!  So much so that I finally stated my feelings and left it at that..!  Several days later hubby had the computer guru's out here to ck out what all was going on....AND his computer was definitely ILL.. at this point I wouldn't care what its called...I couldn't get on the computer and was quite irritated ! 
Now I'm back in the world of technology...and what about all these cell phones....why we can even read the Bible from cell phones, the computer, a nook, kindle, anything techno!!  Kinda mind boggling in a way...
what happened to the 'good ole days?' ....when you just picked up The Good Book and read it ..didn't have to access anything, type in a password, download a program, you just picked up your Bible and started reading ..... conversing w/God in a way technology will never be able to replicate ...Talking w/the Lord on a personal level .....and just think I don't need a password! 

Bible reading

We all know that the Bible is God's chosen words....but did you know there is ONE verse that satan might actually 'hate' ...and especially when we read it....and read it a loud.....> > > Rev. 20: 10...tell me what you think.

Do you think God cried?

yesterday in church during one of the songs I got so emotional tears welled up..!  If I could recall the song then you might share my emotion as well...(but that's another story!)......oh wait, if all else fails ck bk on the bulletin...'Give Thanks'....which brought me to the thot...Do you think God cried the day His only son died and for what?  ....... US!  I know he turned his back and could not look upon all the sin of the world, but did he shed tears and heartache for his son? 

The ownership question

How much stuff do you 'own'?  I absolutely treasure MY stuff !!  I have several crafts that I derive so much pleasure from:  quilting, counted cross-stitch, beading, cooking, baking, decorating my home for Christmas, with MY stuff...!!  MY stuff....but then during my quiet time this morning reading in Psalms, 24 to be exact...it was brought to my attention that this "stuff" wasn't mine.  What?  I re-read the first verse and once again was humbled to the fact NOTHING is MINE........!! 

So, lets settle the ownership question once and for all...(although I seemed to need reminding more often), ....right there in black n white it states.....'the earth is the Lord's and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.'.....no exceptions made. 
God owns it all.    Simply stated:  I possess: God owns
                                                       I earn (a living):  God enables

That pretty much settles it!! 

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is an official holiday.  Thanksgiving day...to some this means gathering w/family and friends or maybe a quiet meal shared between a couple. 
This day may have different meanings to each of us.  For me...it means LIFE!  physically, I have enjoyed/lived/experienced another year!  No matter the trials that I have gone through, I am thankful that I have an earthly life lived w/family and friends....!!  More importantly, I am MOST thankful for the HEAVENLY life that I will share w/my Father! 
I am thankful

OHHHH I had another thot while I was mopping the kitchen floor today!  As the mop went over the floor it was leaving little mop strings...annoying in a way as I was going to have to deal w/them....would either have to bend over to pick them up or sweep them up when the floor dried...either way I was going to have to do something with them..!!
And then I paused....got to thinking about leaving a legacy...just like those mop strings...then I thought about the BIGGER picture....Jesus left His legacy behind for us, for His children.  IF you are a child of God you know something of this legacy. What we give or leave behind to our children and grands is an earthly legacy.  What God gives and leaves behind is a heavenly legacy.  My prayer for all who reads this is that you are a part of His legacy.
