Priorities

Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! We have a little cooler weather today, but still lots of sunshine and few clouds. No rain in sight for the rest of the week, I guess.

Yesterday, my yard man came and mowed. He said he would be coming every week from now on through the summer. I don't think the grass is growing that much, but the edging and trimming helps keep it looking neat.even though I don't have much grass. Whenever he gets the pipe laid and the well going, and the sod laid, then maybe I will have a nice lawn again. Lot of "whens" there!

I did not see the gator on the bank yesterday, but noticed lots of turtles lined up along the banks of the canal. Since they are black, they are easily overlooked. Also, an anhinga was perched on the weir just looking around.

I have almost as many anoles inside my house, as outside, I have noticed lately. There is one almost dead on the bedroom floor, and one on the north window of the same bedroom.Then when I went to the kitchen last night, there was one on the cabinet door. The last I saw of him, he was on the counter hiding behind a jar, Anyway, God is good!

From the little devotional book Knowing God:

 
 Keep your priorities in line with God's priorities;
Come near to God and God will come near to you.
You sinners, clean sin out of your lives . You who are
trying to follow God and the world at the same time,
make your thinking pure.
James 4:8 NCV

Have you fervently asked God to prioritize your life?
Have you asked him for guidance and for the courage to
do the things that you know need to be done? If so, then
you're continually inviting your Creator to reveal himself
in a variety of ways. As a follower of Christ, you must do
no less.

When you make God's priorities your priorities, you will
receive God's abundance and His peace. When you make
God a full partner in every aspect of your life, He will lead
you along the proper path : His path. When you allow God
to reign over your heart, He will honor you with spiritual
blessings that are simply too numerous to count. So, as you
plan for the day ahead, make God's will your ultimate
priority. When you do, every other priority will have a tendency
to fall neatly into place.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers
with thanksgiving, joy and love!


Love and hugs,
 Amaryllis
