Spiritual Sundays


22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lam. 3:22, 23

Many families are facing spiritual battles right now and we are, too. A member of our family woke up pondering the lyrics of “The Steadfast Love of the Lord” this morning and it’s become our signature song today. May it encourage you, also.
Thank you for the wonderful prayers, my friends. We feel the closeness of the Lord and I wanted you to know how comforting that is!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end,
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Your faithfulness, 0 Lord
Great is Your faithfulness!

Be sure to join our hosts Charlotte and Ginger for more uplifting Spiritual Sundays!

    I had shared this with another friend here in blogosphere. If also I may share it with you. Yesterday, as I was waking up, it felt like the Lord was telling me to read Psalm 125. So,I did when I did my morning devotion. v.1-"Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;they will not be defeated but will endure forever." I'll let you read the rest when you get a chance. It is a wonderful promise that God is indeed our Protector. Evil prevails only as long as He allows. He is and will always be in control. May God's love, comfort, strength, protection and wisdom cover you and your family. Blessings and love to you sister.

    I was so happy to see a post from you and haven't stopped praying! Yes, the heat is turning up but we should not be surprised should we?
    Praise the Lord for the Victory if HIM, we must take our Spiritual Authority and Praise HIM in these storms, Trusting and Obeying along the way!

    I love you Mary!

    My Precious, Precious Friend,

    This is so uplifting for me to read this night too. Yes, we may be going through spiritual battles, but we are never alone...and I quote you again here:

    "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
    His mercies never come to an end,
    They are new every morning
    New every morning
    Great is Your faithfulness, 0 Lord
    Great is Your faithfulness!"

    All praise, honor and glory is yours Almighty Father forever and ever more. Amen!

    I love you sweet friend. I had to stop in to say hello and I'm so very happy that I did.

    Love, Hugs & Prayers,
    Allelluiabelle

    How wonderful to wake up with a song on the heart and then share it with the rest of the family, then with us. I pray you are having a good bloggy break and feeling rested. Is your grandbaby still there?

    I'm having a one day give away on my blog today if you get a chance to swing by.

    Blessings.

The Venomous Intruder

It’s the middle of rattlesnake season here on the ranch.  The local news anchor confirmed it.   I’ve seen two already.    While driving along our dirt road yesterday, I mistook a virulent enemy for a branch. I backed up the car, looked again and noticed the branch shifted revealing a rattle at its end. At one of our road association meetings in the barn, Shelby stood up and shouted, “ BOB !” to my next door neighbor.  He’s our vice president and the one all eyes were on as he gave a presentation in the middle of the room.  I sensed fear in the way she yelled his name.  I learned after the meeting that Shelby called out to him like that because she saw a rattler slither in the barn door where she and I sat.  Bob yielded to the interruption and quietly dispatched the enemy.  Ten minutes later, this tough guy was back to center stage falling right back in step with the business at hand.   Bob is my new best friend. ...

Let's Live Together

I took a Ziploc bag of frozen pork chops out of the freezer and set them in the refrigerator to thaw.  I decided to make one of my favorite crock pot recipes with them.  I threatened the husband with a black eye if he ate the last of the sour cream because I needed it for that simple recipe. The next day, I carried my crock pot to my island in the kitchen and mixed the sour cream with an envelope of onion soup mix and decided to rinse the defrosted meat at the sink before adding to my recipe.  Then I noticed something. They weren’t pork chops.  To my surprise, I witnessed defrosted chicken thighs.  Very big chicken thighs; it must have been a hippy chicken.  The freezer bag’s label read Dec. ’15 in the husband’s writing.  I assumed it contained pork chops.  I was wrong. Write it like a man. Thinking like a man would think, he probably guessed that any fool could see these are chicken thighs when he placed them in a clear gal...

Marriage Tip #44: Do What He Wants

I thought about our upcoming anniversary.   I prayed one morning for the marriages in my family, and a sentence about my own dropped in my spirit:  “ Do What He Wants .”  I paused, “Really?”  He’s his own man.  What if I end up in the wilderness camping by night and target shooting by day?  What if a coyote decides to have me as a late night snack? We celebrated our anniversary early this year, Before the kids come next week.   And we did it his way . This is how it happened. I never asked him about a plan or even mentioned our day.  I remember how it all unfolded at the roundabout just as we drove into Sedona.  He asked me if I would like to go to a baseball game.  I responded excitedly, “Yeah!”  Before the day was over, he purchased tickets for a Diamondbacks home game. He printed them out.  He booked a hotel room so we wouldn’t have to drive home from the city after the late evening game. ...
