Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the
LORD is.

Jeremiah 17:7, King James Version

Sing a lullaby. Oh, sing! Let the little sheep bells ring. Gently now, you woolly sheep, Sing the Prince of peace to sleep. That little Prince, so humbly born, would someday die with cross and thorn, But, raised by God to life above, now rules the earth with peace and love. No earthly throne sets Him apart. Instead, He rules within each heart, and when we all our struggling cease, We feel His love. We know His peace.

Sing, you heavens! Sing, you earth! Sing about the Christmas birth. Sin and death and war shall cease. He's come, the tiny Prince of Peace.

Let us remember that the good news of the baby Jesus is the greatest Christmas gift ever given, and it doesn’t cost a dime to share that with those on our gift-list this year.

Praise God there is a song in my soul today!

What a Mighty God we serve!  That song says it.

There have been so many days in my life that I could not sing or did not feel like singing or just thought I would never sing again.  You know what?  God had other plans for me.  For He made me see that no matter what ~ my soul could sing.  His Mighty Love and Grace and Mercy are really something to sing about! 

Well my voice may not be what it used to be but the song is sweeter than ever for I have been forgiven of so much. 

Choose today to sing from your soul!

Oh just open your eyes to see how beautifully Our Heavenly Father uses the rain and storms in our lives to bless us.  He sent us His Son Jesus to save us.  We fall into His loving arms and safely hang on while the wind is blowing and the rain is falling all around.  He holds us and wipes away our tears of fear and sadness.  He carries us into the warmth of His sunshine after the storm.  Sure there are a few things blown away and knocked over and tossed about.  He helps us pick up the pieces and straighten it all up.  He asks us to trust Him and love Him and realize that He has us right there safe and sound in His arms. 

Our God is So Big...So Mighty...I love that children's song.  His is bigger than the rain, the hail, the wind, our fears, our problems, our imaginations.  Just rest in His arms and feel His love and grace.  He is The Almighty God - The Everlasting Father - The Prince of Peace.

The sun comes out after the storm.  The Son  is with us thru the storm and after the storm.  Just trust in His Love.  Enjoy the wonderful blessings raining down on you today. 

Here's wishing you love and peace today ....... Meme

Arise, shine; for your light has come.

And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Isaiah60:1

The light was shining this morning before I arose....Don't know what

got into my alarms-Aggie and Barkley-they must have been up too

late last night like me.

So, I must say I was moving a little slower and less perky ~ but

guess what I am thankful for- - good ole' columbian coffee and

needless to say I am feeling more awake.....

This mornin' got a head start on me, but I'm catchin' up fast....

God is Great!!! He loves us so much He sent His Glory to shine all

over and around and in us!!! My heart pours out thanks for His Love

and Mercy and Grace.

Good Morning! What a beautiful crisp morning - I am so happy to be able to say.  Because it actually feels like autumn. Well, it is beautiful even tho' it is still dark. Yes, I woke up at 5AM-have no idea how long Agatha and Barkley had been roaming around.   We spent some time out on the front porch checking out the sounds and actions of early morning.  God is Sooooo Great !!!!

My mind is on daily tasks.  You know - washing, drying, watering, feeding....etc.etc.etc.

Just think about it - clothes, dishes, floors, plants, pets, children, ourselves.  You know daily maintaining.  We can do it all joyfully or grumpully (m.o.w.mem's own word) but we still have to do them.  Well to have a healthy life.

Now think of this - with the clothes we can be grateful that we have them, so many of them.  In my case I am so happy to have a washer and dryer so I don't have to go out to do laundry. With dishes - well this just shows that we are blessed to be eating well - we can be thankful for dirty dishes.

Floors - we will come back to..

Plants give us oxygen, the least we can do is give them a drink and some precious sunlight.  A kind word has been said to help.

We accept the daily tasks for ourselves early on.  Feels good to be clean and healthy. Right?

Those playful little pets.  Water, feed, wash, love and play.  Oh yes and clean litter and pick up poop.  We are rewarded with companionship and lots of love and they are always - always happy to see us come home.

Ahh...the children - now talk about rewarding.  Children have such a capacity for love.  It just flows from them.  The smiles and sweet voices and pleaading eyes and rejoicing.  They just soak up every good thing that is sent their way.  And they give it back with so much more than you give.  So smile when you scrub those little feet and wipe those little noses and bottoms...and rejoice to be able to prepare their daily food and wash their little clothes and clean up the floors ( told you we would get to floors ) after them.  Just think how much joy they add to your life and childhood is such a brief moment.  Don't ever take this for granted.  It is a privilege.  A kind word is sure to help!  Children reflect what they see and hear.  Let us guard their little eyes and ears.

Last but not least don't forget the elderly ones. They are eagerly looking for a kind voice and love and attention. They have wisdom we need and they have given so much in their lifetime.  Kindness really matters.

If you want to see Jesus - look into the eyes of the elderly, the children, your  wife or husband, sisters, brothers, friends, neighbors, etc.  As Mother Teresa said touch the sick and dying, the poor - you are touching Jesus. 

Jesus said if we do unto the least of these we have done unto Him. 

Day by day we all have tasks, some call chores. I think they are opportunities to reach out and touch Jesus daily. 

Day by day let's do each task with Love.

Day by day let's do each task with Prayer.

Day by day let's do each task with Thanks.

Have a wonderful day full of tasks......

with Love, Prayer and Thankfulness
