The Balance of Nature

My husband and I went on a trip to Colorado last fall.  This was my first visit to that state, outside of the Denver airport.  I was excited to see the changes in topography as we traveled along.  We left the lush, green hills and clear, sparkling rivers of southwest Missouri, discovered the endless beauty in the flat plains of Kansas, and slowly crept up into the high plains of eastern Colorado where I spotted the first antelope I had ever seen in the wild.

In The Presence of God

Oftentimes, my husband asks me things like this:

“What do you want to do this evening?”, “Where would you like to eat?”, “Would you rather go to the movies or stay in tonight?”.

My answers are usually something along these lines:

“Whatever you want to do”, “Wherever is fine with me”, “Doesn’t matter to me”.

These types of responses are not what he would like to hear most of the time.  However, they are actually the truth.  I don’t care what we are doing, I just want to be with him.  Being with him is enough for me.  It’s not about what we are doing…it’s that we are together.  That’s the prize for me – simply being with him.

Thanks Be Unto The Lord

It’s Your breath in our lungs,

So we pour out our praise,

We pour out our praise.

Great Are You Lord!

These words from one of my favorite praise and worship songs pretty much sums up how I feel this Thanksgiving.  I fall on my knees in praise of the Lord, thanking Him for all He has blessed me with.  I will thank the Lord with all my heart; I will declare all Your wonderful works. Psalm 9:1  Many could look at my life and ask why would I thank Him.  That always makes me grin just a little because I realize they just don’t get it.  Then it makes me sad because I realize, they just don’t get it.  Whatever you have been dealt in life, you cannot forget that God is still on the throne, and everything is part of His great plan.  Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7   Continue reading “Thanks Be Unto The Lord” →

Veterans Day 2016

 

Praise the Lord we live in a country where men and women have, and do, volunteer to put their lives on the line for us.  “No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13   Today is the day we should all stop and spend some time praying for our military, past and present, who live all over the world.  May God Bless Them All!

Sing Unto The Lord

“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.” Psalm 104:33

Music has been a very important part of my life always.  It started with my mother’s lullabies, then my father’s folk songs, and then gospel music.   Continue reading “Sing Unto The Lord” →
