Grammy's Joy 2

159  Consider how I love Your precepts;  Revive me, O  Lord , according to Your loving kindness.  The entirety of Your word  is  truth,  And every one of Your righteous  judgments  endures  forever. Psalm 119:159-160 I came across this verse in my personal time with God this week.  I had to study the word Precepts, not because I didn't understand it but because I wanted to know it better. Often when I am reading I see in God's word how He asks us to do things but He is the one who provides the understanding, the strength and the way to do what He asks.  If I were to put this verse into my own words I would say "Lord I love how you show me how to understand your ways with your mind set. You give me life because of your loving kindness and everything about You is right and will last forever."  It is a wonderful verse and if you meditate on it I think it will bring you wisdom and joy, as God's word so...

It is Friday again and time for friday's fave five. 1. One of my best and most blessed friend's and I started doing an online devotion on The Bible App .  I am so enjoying the interaction and the spiritual stimulation in the word that it is bringing daily. 2. Both my husband and I, and our blood and church family are well.  I do have a good friend in Pennsylvania, who's brother, a Pastor, is sick with the Corona Virus.  Please keep Chris in your prayers. 3.  The sun has been out the past few days. 4.  I am saved.  God is my savior.  I just have to Praise Him for that now and again. 5.  Ps. 23:1 The Lord is my Shepard, I have all that I need.  This is so true.  I have not felt lack in anything since all this mess with the virus has started.  God is so good and he is always there for those who love Him and live life for Him. God is so amazing.  If you don't know Him, know this:  You can.  If you go to THI...

This scripture is how I feel about my salvation, about answered prayer to hard things, scary things, hurtful things, and this is how I think so many of us will feel when the Corona Virus has finally run it's course and we can all resume our lives.  We will be/ARE thankful that He has saved us in so many ways.  Psalm 118 15-21 Songs of joy at the news of our rescue are sung in the homes of the godly. The strong arm of the Lord has done glorious things!   I shall not die but live to tell of all his deeds.   The Lord has punished me but not handed me over to death. Open the gates of the Temple—I will go in and give him my thanks.  Those gates are the way into the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there.  O Lord, thank you so much for answering my prayer and saving me.                                             Dana ...

  I love Fridays when I get to post my favorite five things or blessings about the week.  There are always more than five so it is sometimes hard to pick. To see others who participate go to Living to Tell the Story and click on the respondents in the comments.  Many of them participate. 1. From last Friday night to yesterday I was sick.  It was a flu and a sinus infection, but thankfully not the flu. Yesterday I got to go to my son's new house.  We were outside most of the time so I was not having to stay a long way away from my grands and son.  2.  Even though everything is shut down I am blessed to go to a church that has can post all services online.  I got to enjoy our Women Rock Bible Study online .  It was so good. 3.  I may have spent most of my vacation at home sick but I still have 4 more days that I can go do something now that I am feeling much, much better. 4.  I have some sewing to do and have been doing s...

Psalm 16:3   New King James Version (NKJV) 3  As for the saints who  are  on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in  whom is all my delight.” (From BibleGateway NKJ)

On Fridays we post 5 of our blessings for the week.  It is hosted by Suzanne . 1.  My 46th anniversary was this week and I have done a lot of reflecting on my marriage.  It has been a wonderful life, growing up with my husband.  We went from hippies, who smoked dope to Grandparents who love the Lord Jesus.  It has been a great transition but I wouldn't change any of what God has done in our life.  I love my husband more today than when I married him. One of our anniversary blessings is that 13 years ago we were blessed with our oldest grandson.  I call him my best anniversary present. And, he is. 2.  We went to the  Huntington Library  for our Anniversary  outing. Huntington Library view from the Tea House One of the many Bonsai just before the Tea House.  Once a month on Mondays they open the Japaneses Tea House for tours.  Only a few can go at a time and we just happened to be there ...

Mammoth, California 2017 Our Compassionate High Priest 14  Seeing then that we have a great  High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,  let us hold fast  our  confession.  15  For  we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but  was in all  points  tempted as  we are,   yet  without sin.  16  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. ( From The New King James and Biblegateway)

On Fridays we post 5 of our blessings for the week.  It is hosted by Suzanne at  https://susannesspace.blogspot.com/   1. It has been a great week.  God has done some wonderful things in my life by helping me get over some things that I had not forgave for over 10 years.  Don't you know He is so patient and merciful? I feel relief to have finally truly given those hurts over to Him. 2.  I am on Stay-cation.  Each year during our Anniversary month we take a vacation.  Most years we go to a beach front cottage and enjoy the ocean sounds or up to Solvang and enjoy the tiny tourist town.  Sometimes, like this year, it is a daily pre-planned day out, a spur of the moment day out, or a relaxing day of doing things at home. For two weeks we just enjoy life.  Our usual busy life is a 5 day a week commute of driving 20 minutes to three quarters of an hour, depending on traffic, to volunteer and watch our grands. 3. Our tax returns cam...

Isaiah 40:8   The Passion Translation But even though grass withers and the flower fades,  the word of our God stands strong forever! This past week has been nice.  We had some hints of spring here in Sunny California, which is always nice.  I also had some great times with God.  He has been showing me my heart.  Things I have there that I need to forgive. He has asked me to remember His testimonies.  He has shown me in His word where I need to give thanksgiving more.  This verse above, which comes to mind often, came to mind today.  God's word, His promises, His testimonies, His guidance and His love all comes to us in His word.  His word that never changes.  His word that instructs, corrects and encourages, will be forever.  It is a comfort. All other comforts will be cast aside but God's word will always be.  My prayer for you is that God's word will be your Comfort. Amen.
