A Cup Of Blessing

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting --- a wayside sacrament.  Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.  -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thank, You, God for the beauty of Your creation.  Help me to always look for it in all that I see and always give thanks to YOU! My cup is running over.

O Lord God

...O Lord God of Israel... Thou art THE God, even thou alone...  2 Ki. 19:15

Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my voice.  I make my request known unto thee.  I know that you hear me.  I know that you hear my voice, my cry.  I commit myself unto you.  I am in your care, O Lord God of Israel.   

For I Am With You

Isaiah 41:10, 13

10) So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

13) For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says;  DO NOT FEAR;  I  WILL HELP YOU.



So many things...       So much happening...       Hard things to stand...   Hard to understand...

Where is God?....    Does He see? ....     Does He hear?....         Does He care?...

He replies to me.....

Nothing escapes me.......

I CARE.....

Oh, YES,    I see,     I hear....   I have not forgotten thee....   I am right beside you....   Holding your hand.

For you see,     I AM YOUR GOD...    I will strengthen thee...    All Things are in my control...
I will help you.......

Because..... I love you!!



 

Flower

Look! I have A flower, too.

Whom Have I In Heaven But YOU?

...God is the strength of my heart and my portion.... It is good for me to draw near to God...
Psalms 73:26b, 28a

Psalms 73:23-26, 28(NLT)

Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you?  I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
But God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God! 
I have the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
And I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

Praise God!  I have YOU!!  My heavenly Father!

Regleaning or maybe Rethink This?

Regleaning.  Is that a word.  I guess not since spell check objected with its little red squiggly line.
Anyway.  Word or not I think that I shall post a gleanings from my notebooks of gleanings that I used on my email years back.  I think I shall post one a week.  Maybe it will uplift someone or help in some way.  My so favorite title on my blog page is God is Good.   Soooooooooooo since I really don't have a life on my own I will shout praises unto Him as He is the giver of life!


Quote from the book "Three Weddings And A Giggle".
"Seems to me if folks would just get their focus off of themselves and onto God, they'd have fewer problems.  Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and these things shall be added unto you.  That's what the good book says plain and simple." end quote.

The things that sound so simple are a lot of times the hardest things for us to grab hold of.  Think on this.  You will see how true it is in every way.  If we focus on God and seek His kingdom then our wants and desires change, our worries and fears fade, peace and strength and joy will come with that new focus.

Lord, please help us to always seek You first.  Help us to find our focus in You for You are the giver of life and hope.  Amen.

Love to all.

Design

Do you like my new look?   Not too sure myself.  I may go to clouds.  That is what I was looking for when I found the flowers.

God bless.
