A Home Is A House Full Of Love

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,  neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. *********************** Yes, my thoughts and my ways are not necessarily what the Lord has planned for me. There was a winter storm watch for eastern US including the Carolinas.   I did not expect to be trapped in the house all weekend, but due to snow and ice, I was.  The Lord knows what we need and what is best for us.  I am thankful for safety and protection, for a warm house and a loving family. Praise the Lord, the power did not go out!   I had everything I needed and more!   1 Timothy 6:8 And having food and raiment  let us be therewith content.    You can see one lone sparrow to the left in the picture below.  There have actually been many our there today eating off my bird feeder.  I was reminded that the Lord cares for the sparrows and that I am of much more value than any sparrow.  I also saw doves earlier in the da...

One of our grandsons was riding his rocking horse and said "I am riding my horse to Brazil so I can find Grandpa." How sweet! His grandpa was in Brazil at the time with our son helping to get my son's house in order. My son and his wife with three children left for Brazil in March, 2010. They are missionaries under World Wide New Testament Baptist Mission. You can see more into their life HERE .

What is true prosperity?  God says Joseph was prosperous even in bondage, even in prison, in all of his difficult circumstances - not just when things were going well.  It is obvious that his life followed Psalm 1: He was blessed for not walking in the counsel of the ungodly... HIs delight was in God's law - he meditated in it day and night. (although the actual law had not been given, he still had been taught obedience to God's commands. He was like a tree planted by the rivers of water - his fruit came forth in the right seasons of his life. (there was fruit through every stage that God brought him through from prison to second in rule)  He did not wither.  EVERYTHING he did prospered. He realized that God knew his way and was taking him along the path that was best for his life. Psalms 1:1-6 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the...

This is Sanctity of Life Month: Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is held on the closest Sunday to the anniversary of the Jan. 22, 1973 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to legalize abortion in the Roe V. Wade case. There are about 46 million abortions a year worldwide and about 126,000 abotions a day, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion organization.  According to Focus on the Family, 44 percent of all American women will have an abortion at some point in their lifetime.  More than a million American women will have an abortion this year. Here are a few quick facts regarding life.  Surely life is precious in God's sight.  May we use ours for His glory! Day 1 - conception takes place. 7 days - tiny human implants in mother's uterus. 10 days - mother's menses stop. 18 days - heart begins to beat. 21 days - pumps own blood through separate closed circulatory system with own blood type. 28 days - eye, ear and respiratory system begin t...

Psalms 1:1-6 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.   What a wonderful way to start out the new year, by living Psalm 1! Thoughts and Meditations!  May the new year find us delighting more and more in the Word of God and meditating on it. Obedience to this Psalm will make our way prosperous God knows "my way" - it is: the right way it le...

 THOUGHTS AND MEDITATIONS: Such singing there will be in heaven!  (Rev. 14:2-3)  What a new song we will have to sing when we stand with all the redeemed with a perfect body, soul, and spirit.  Praise the Lord! Psalms 59:16-17 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. Psalms 89:1  I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. A song in our hearts should be continual.  This is pleasing to the Lord!  THANKSGIVING 1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
