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! Cool air, warm sunshine and no breeze means it will be a beautiful day for beach goers, and for most any other outside activity.
I put my flag out today, in honor of remembering the service men and women. Louis was in the Army for two years, during which time our daughter was born, and I currently have a great-niece serving in the Air Force.
I spent a busy day at home yesterday, catching up with laundry, and various chores.I had finished my ironing a couple days ago. Yay, me! You know that is not my favorite thing to do. I had a call from my doctor's office checking up on me, on Wednesday. This is something that started the first of the year. They have someone on call 24/7 trying to keep you from going to the ER, which I think is a great idea!
Mother's Day is Sunday, so yesterday I received a beautiful arrangement of roses and carnations in a butterfly bowl, from the men in my life...Brian, Daryl, and Matthew, though I doubt Matthew knows anything about it! But, God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
1 Chronicles 17:31-36
Let the heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice!
Tell all the nations that the Lord is king.
Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
Let the fields and their crops burst forth with joy!
Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise before the Lord!
For he is coming to judge the earth.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Cry out, "Save us, O God of our salvation!
Gather and rescue us from among the nation,
so we can thank your holy name, and rejoice and praise you."
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!
And all the people shouted "Amen!" and praised the Lord.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving,
joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
