Stop the Hatred

Romans 13:1-4

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.

It's true..God cares

I moved Aprille's bird feeder this year.  It's hanging on our front porch directly in the center of the bay window.  It's almost inside our home.  But the birds don't seem to mind.  They really just want to eat.  I've watched all types of birds fly in and grab a quick snack.  The Woodpecker, black and blue bids, sparrows and others take turns picking through the seed.

Reminds me of God's care...encourages me too

 Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

RaisePraise 2017

Psalm 150:1-6 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Pre-op

Today my mom gets the final instruction before her surgery. She's ready to get it over.  June 7 can't come soon enough.  She wants the cancer gone and to begin her healing. Mom is trusting Jesus and she knows Jesus cares about her.....



Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Matthew 28:19-20 .....
Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

Monday Mercies

The sun is up!
It's a new Day!
But I'm still sleepy!

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Grateful for His Rest....

Mama said...God said....

Our family gathered round the table for a Mother's Day supper tonight.  After the meal, mom was talking about us children.  She said to me (about her mothering), " I didn't do too bad, you didn't come with a book."

But there is a Book.  God's Holy Word.  It's our guide and instruction.  Read it, apply it, trust it....

Good job mom!  Thanks for loving me and Thanks for following God's Word.

Happy Mother's Day!
