Fridays Fave Five

I am so thrown off with the weeks of isolation that I keep forgetting to post.  But I am

1. Thankful for FFF because it makes me look at the good of each week.  Praise God He is so faithful that I truly have more than 5 things each week to be thankful for.

2. I am enjoying this time with my Husband.  At first I was kind of upset that our 46th wedding anniversary stay-cation had been stopped with this isolation.  But it has been so wonderful to be stuck in the house with my sweetie.  He walks 6 miles a day when he can, so I made him a mask.

3. I went on a date with my sweetie to WalMart.  No one can go in without a mask.

4. My oldest son who had the brain injury in December, bought a house and they have moved.  He needed help with cleaning and I went over to help.  We know we don't have the virus and they think they had it late last year when they were soooooo sick and I don't know if I have had it but I have lots of faith I won't get it.  So here is our no mask picture after cleaning out the rental they moved out of.  My son and my grandson...So handsome.

5.  Zoom is an amazing tool.  I got to zoom with my younger son and his family this week and say with my own voice Happy Birthday and look him in the eye at the same time.  I have had fellowship with two of my best friends this week and church meetings too.  It has been amazing seeing the person I am talking to.  Tomorrow I get to have another zoom meeting one with a ministry group I am involved in.  I can't wait.

There is so much more I could list here but there is just one additional bonus Fave I want to highlight.  I have had the blessing of calling a portion of our churches data base address book and 99 percent of those I called are doing fantastic.  I hope that is a comparable  percentage of the world too.  None had the virus but a few were scared of it.  I was honored and blessed to pray with them.

I hope your Good Friday and Easter is wonderful and if your Church is not on line please attend Good Friday and Easter services with the wonderful church I attend.  Go to rockchurch.com scroll down a bit and you can see when the services are and how long till the live viewing.

God bless you all as we remember what our Savior did for us.

Time To Sew

I have been doing some sewing since the quarantine. More so I have been watching YouTube videos of my favorite tutorials.  One thing that I have always wanted to make was a pressing board.

As you can see I finally made one.  I used two layers of batting and a vintage sheet.  Today I reworked an old table cloth I had made for a farm table I had years ago.  The table cloth was too big for the table I have now so I shortened it.  After the alteration I pressed it on this and It was so easy to use.  I know unless I am ironing my husbands shirts I will be using this pressing table for most of my ironing needs. I wish I had made this years ago. 

Sunday Scripture

2 Chronicles 7:14 Living Bible (TLB)

14 then if my people will humble themselves and pray, and search for me, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear them from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.

 I know this scripture is used a lot and it is hard, sometimes, to find meaning in something that has been used over and over.  But it is a timely verse for this season.  Click the link in the post before this one and hear a message that calls you to pray.

Friday's Fave Five

This picture is of my dear friend Lucy who went to be with the Lord just a few days after Christmas.  In fact just a minute after learning my son was being air lifted to Loma Linda Hospital I received a call from one of the Reverends at our church telling me she has died.  

Why such a sad memory on a day when I am to tell my Fave Fives of the week?

1. Friends.  I love my friends (sisters in Jesus) so much and have a wonderful week of zoom meetings where I have had the blessing of talking to many of them.  I have had text messages, phone calls, and chats on Face Book.  The best thing is that we talk of Jesus and how present He has been in our lives during this time.  Lucy was a wonderful sister in the Lord and I thought of her a bit this week.  I talked with her daughter by text and we cried together.  I am glad she is not her for this.  I know she would be worried for her family as they have jobs in hospitals and in public.  Her husband had died earlier in the year and she was missing him so much.  No she is with Jesus where we all want to be and I am happy for no matter how much I mess her.

2. Technology.  Praise God for the knowledge that he gave those who invented it. 

3. God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit.  God has been so present with me and I am grateful for His love, comfort, and provision.

4.  Again God.  Everything that is being horded I already had in my home before all this started because I buy enough so that I don't have to go to the store for much more than milk and bread for months on end. 

5.  Health.  I was ill a few weeks ago and I still have a dry cough but I am well and enjoying my life even if I am a bit stir crazy for a few moments especially when I miss my family. 

Bonus:  My sister who I have not talked with in a very long time called me this week and we had a wonderful chat.  She and all her family are well.  I love her so much.  I was so thrilled to hear from her.

I pray you all are doing well and having wonderful times with the Lord and with what family you can be around.  Be safe and well.  God bless you all.

Sunday Scripture

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 often does. God bless have a great week. 

Fave Five Friday's

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 THIS
 and you can learn how to know Him.

I hope you all are well and feeling loved.  If you have a prayer request please feel free to post it here.  I will go to my knees on your behalf.

Ephesians 6:23-24 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

PS.  If you look at my list of books and Authors you will see I have added a book.  I don't know what I was thinking by not putting it there before. My son wrote a book several years ago for his children and published it.  It is Sarah's Silly Sock Day.  It would go great is someone's Easter basket.  Just saying.
