Spiritual Sunday



Psalm 148

1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.

2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.





The psalm says “old men and children” praise Him! We have been teaching Susanna to praise Jesus. So when we say “Praise Jesus!” her hand goes up whatever she is doing! It's fun to teach our grandchildren how to praise the Lord!

Charlotte and Ginger compile a great deal of inspiration for us at Spiritual Sundays. Be sure to log on!

    How precious is that picture, and how wonderful you are teaching her to praise the Lord. You can't start too soon.
    We used to sing a song at church based on this scripture. It is a beautiful song. I don't remember the name of it now but I know the chorus goes like this. "Let them praises give Jehovah for his name alone is high, and his glory is exalted, far above the earth and sky."
    Blessings,
    Charlotte

    Susanna is adorable! Love to see her praise. Friday was Rosh Hoshana and I've been reading a few posts about this important Jewish holiday. CBN even has a telecast online with music and dancing that was wonderful. They used the shofar. I love learning about these customs and I remember you mentioned that you did too.

    What a cutie pie! What a wonderful thing to teach her - to learn early to praise the Lord in all things!

    Sometimes in the day to day struggles we forget to praise Him - Yet in Scripture it says that ALL creation gives praise back to the Father!

    Thank you for this great reminder - I need to add more praise to my prayers!
    Blessings to you,
    Kymber

    Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ...
    What an uplifting message you've shared ... coupled with Susanna's adorable face. Why it's like having a sweet, succulent cherry popped atop an already delicious treat.

    Enjoy your Today, my friend!

    Great post Mom! I'm glad you taught Sookie how to "praise Jesus" because frankly, sometimes she reminds me! There is nothing I've found that provides me more instant comfort than when I praise God with a song or just have his name on my lips. He is so faithful!

Book Review of Biblical Minimalism and Give Away

What does minimizing look like?  To the empty nester it may mean downsizing real estate.  To the co-dependent, it may mean pitching some toxic friendships they tend to collect.  I thought I had a handle on Biblical minimalism, but I wasn’t even close.  Biblical minimalism is much more than cleaning out a drawer and discarding unwanted things into a box to take to the thrift store. In her book, Biblical Minimalism, Cheryl E. Smith defines Biblical minimalism as “a complete, whole person release of anything unlike Jesus, a letting go of everything that hinders us from following Him wholeheartedly and single- mindedly , and a relinquishing of all that brings us under bondage to this earthly, very temporary life.” The author gives us a visual of a whole pie that is divided into eight slices.  Each slice describes our lives with areas to analyze to see if pruning or adjustment is needed.  I won’t name them all, but one example is the “emotional ...

Mama's Lipstick

I always wished I could do things with my mom like shop in the mall, share makeup secrets or go to the movies and watch romantic comedies.  My wish never materialized.     My mama behaved like a tomboy.   She loved baseball and pitched with a strong right arm.   She could care less about the latest fashion or the latest movies featured on the big screen.   She never polished her fingernails.    One day after elementary school, I walked into the house to find my mom all dolled up in front of the bathroom mirror, foundation crème, powder, eyebrow pencil and rouge all over the counter sink.  “Who are you?” I asked, thrilled to see my mama putting on the Ritz.  Makeup in place and blotted, she immediately took it off.  “I don’t like the way it feels,” she exclaimed. She retired in Arizona and protected her dry lips with a light rose lipstick, the color of natural lips, a step above ChapStick.  She wore it a few tim...

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play...
