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! More sunshine and fewer showers today means I have to water a couple plants on the front porch, since they get dry in a hurry! The humidity is back, so the heat really gets to me if I am outside for any length of time!
I busied myself in the house yesterday, changing the bed and putting the fresh sheets on. While I was doing that, I heard voices, and could not figure out where they were coming from, so I walked out toward the kitchen and realized that is was the call box of the ADT home security system that I have. I was wearing the bracelet and must have bumped the button, so the operator was frantically trying to reach me to see if I was all right! The system works! If I hadn't responded the paramedics would have come, which happened about a year ago when I accidentally pushed the button. I really felt sorry that time, thinking of the waste of time and the cost for them to come for nothing. Big sigh.
After I did another load of laundry, I decided to take a break and go to the park, where the squirrels were having a good time. The flocks of ibis were also intent on doing their pecking thing and moving slowly around the circle. It was a good day and God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 119 :1-8
Happy are people of integrity,
who follow the law of the Lord.
Happy are those who obey his decrees
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do no compromise with evil
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your
commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your principles!
Then I will not be disgraced
when I compare my life with your commands.
When I learn your righteous laws,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your principles,
Please don't give up on me!
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving,
joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
