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!

  2. 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,

  3. 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.

  14. 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,

    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.

  18. 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!

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancĂ© will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
