Good Morning, dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the cloudy day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! We are supposed to get more rain today, and it certainly looks like it! Took a long time for daylight to break through. But this gives me no excuse to not iron today since it doesn't look too promising for going out.
I did a lot of running around yesterday, though, with a doctor's post-op visit, a meeting at church, and card shopping at the Family Bookstore. I also took time to go to the Park and there were two gators sunning on the bank of the borrow pit! One was big and fat, and the other was smaller. A flock of ibis was pecking on the ground, and I noticed some immature ones in the flock. I have never seen an ibis nest, so they must be well hidden. More azaleas are blooming in the park and look very pretty. God is good!
From Quiet Moments with God:
Benediction
The very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKV
A benediction is the pronouncing of a divine blessing. It is usually associated with the final words of a worship service, given by a spiritual leader, but you can give yourself a benediction right where you are, this very night!
The only requirement for a benediction is this: that no sin or unforgiveness stands between you and the Lord Jesus Christ. If you question the purity of your heart, tonight is a good time to ask the Lord to cleanse you and renew a right spirit within you.
Then face yourself in a mirror before you turn off the lights for the night, and pronounce a benediction upon yourself. Speak it with faith and boldness, in full confidence that the Lord desires this blessing to take root in you and bear good fruit. If you have a family, you may want to pronounce a blessing on them or on each member individually.
By doing so, you can end each day with a keen awareness of God's blessing and His claim on your life.
The benediction inscribed at Gloucester Cathedral is one you may want to use:
Go on your way in peace.
Be of good courage.
Hold fast that which is good.
Render to no man evil for evil.
Strengthen the fainthearted,
Support the weak.
Help and cheer the sick.
Honor all men.
Love and serve the Lord.
May the blessing of God be upon you
And remain with you forever.
So be it. And have a blessed good night!
IT IS DISTRUST OF GOD TO BE
TROUBLED ABOUT WHAT IS TO
COME; IMPATIENCE AGAINST GOD
TO BE TROUBLED WITH WHAT IS
PRESENT; AND ANGER AT GOD TO
BE TROUBLED FOR WHAT IS PAST.
Simon Patrick
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Psoaring thru Psalms
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! I hope some of you were up early enough to see the glorious sunrise! Beautiful oranges and pinks on the few clouds in the sky...it was worth waking up for! I have the heat on this morning because it is a little cooler than the past few days, but will soon warm up.
Well, I am off to the doctor's today for the post-op checkup. I think nothing drastic will be found. I just wish I knew how to painlessly remove the adhesive sticky on my neck. I have tried alcohol and Crisco, (not together) and all it did was loosen the stuff up. Trouble is, I can't see it well enough to get it off. Oh, well, eventually, it will wear off, I'm sure,
Yesterday I saw the usual gator sunning on the bank in his favorite spot in the Park Lots of people were out enjoying the warm weather. And that reminds me, I saw a lone robin on the ground beneath the oak tree in my yard. First time I have seen one this winter. I still like the tiny sparrows better, because they always seem so busy. The robin looks kind of fierce with his beady black eyes! But God is good!
Psalm 46:1-2
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
So we will not fear, even if the earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
Let the oceans roar and foam,
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!."
Daily Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father. I honor you as my Lord. I acknowledge that You are always present with me. You are the only all powerful and only wise God. You are kind and loving in all Your ways. I love you and thank you that I am united with Jesus and spiritually alive in Him. I thank you for the life that I have in Christ, and ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may live my life free from sin. You are the Vine and I am the branch, apart from You I can do nothing. I take my stand against Satan and command all his evil spirits to depart from me. I ask these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

Haggai
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! Well, I certainly made up my lost hour of sleep this morning! I did not get up until 7:30! Unbelievable! But I enjoyed being lazy for a change. And, fortunately, I am not scheduled to do anything special today, anyway.
I really enjoyed Jessie Bowman's photos of Sawgrass Park on Facebook. I recognized everything she posted, because all the animals, birds, and shrubbery are so familiar to me. I went yesterday after church and the same critters are always in their places. They can almost be named, because the same ones hang around all the time. It is a wonderful place for enjoying God's creation!
Our oaks are nearly bare, now, but the yard is not. The new leaves and seeds are on the branches now, and it is time for allergy season. I was wrong about my azaleas not blooming. I have one bush in front that has blossoms on it, and the very old one nestled in a corner in the back yard is full of fuschia colored flowers! I just never noticed. God is good!
From the NLT:
Haggai 3:11
So the Lord sent this message through the prophet Haggai, "Why are you living in the luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins? This is what the Lord Almighty says: Consider how things are going for you! You have food to eat, but not enough to fill you up. You have wine to drink, but not enough to satisfy your thirst. You have clothing to wear, but not enough to keep you warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Consider how things are going for you! Now go up into the hills, bring down timber, and rebuild my house, Then I will take pleasure in it and be honored, says the Lord. You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the Lord Almighty, while you are all busy building your own fine houses. That is why the heavens have withheld the dew and the earth has withheld its crops. I have called for a drought on your fields and hills-a drought to wither the grain and crops, a drought to starve both you and your cattle and to ruin everything you have worked so hard to get."
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Amaryllis

Success
Good morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the cloudy, rainy day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it!
Well, the thunder woke me about 3 AM , after I had a difficult time getting to sleep, and then I woke up early to the sound of gentle rain falling. As I was praying and having my devotions this morning, I looked out the window and watched a feisty squirrel leap from our roof to the oak tree in the backyard, and then scamper along the telephone line. Pretty soon, he came back along the same route, gave a giant leap onto the tree and back on the roof. Neither rain, nor sleet nor dark of night keeps them from digging and looking for acorns and whatever else they can find to eat.
I only went out one time yesterday and that was to accompany David C. to the dump. He had been working on a leaky faucet in my bathroom. The wind was blowing so hard, it almost took my breath away! Yesterday was a good day for ironing and staying in, and today will be a good day to read! God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Does God give us success in this life?
1 Samuel 16:7 The Lord said to Samuel, "Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn't make decisions the way you do! People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at a person's thoughts and intentions."
God's standards differ greatly from our own. Success is measured by faithfulness and fruitfulness not by results and quantities. We measure success in terms of appearances and externals, but the Lord looks on the heart. God measures success by weighing our devotion and commitment to him.
1 John 2:15-17 Stop loving this evil world and all that if offers you, for when we love the world, you show that you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions. These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world. And this world if fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever.
Success in this world can mean failure in God's eyes. While we live in this world, we are not to be controlled by this world's system of values. God promises that if we do his will, we will have true success.
1 Corinthians 3:4,5 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. It is not that we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves. Our only power and success come from God.
Jesus' followers know that real success comes only from the Lord.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Discernment
Good morning, dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the cloudy, windy day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! We are supposed to have thunderstorms today and It sure looks like they are coming! I did all my shopping yesterday, so I am prepared!
After I did my shopping, I drove to the Park, and there was the gator in his usual spot, all stretched out. When I came back out, several cars were parked, with people rushing with cameras to take his picture. I walked out on the bridge and watched a great blue heron for a while. He is huge, and likes to stand on the point where the canal curves. He can be so still, he looks like a statue, but all at once he started to walk down the bank and waded in the water, stretching out his neck after spying a fish. The sun was very warm and it felt like summer, but I soon got very tired and was glad to get back to the car. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
When I am confused, where do I turn for clarity, wisdom, understanding, and direction?
James 1:5-8 If you need wisdom--if you want to know what God wants you to do--ask him and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.
Psalm 119:125 Give discernment to me, your servant; then I will understand your decrees.
Discernment is the ability to interpret events and to understand the true nature of people and situations. Discernment is an aspect of wisdom. It enables us to see behind the facades that mask the truth. Discernment shows us the way through the maze of options that face us. Like the sun that burns away the fog, discernment cuts through confusion and distractions. Whereas the devil is the "father of lies," God is the father of the truth, and he gives discernment to those who seek it.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

More Wisdom
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! Even though the sun is shining and it is warmer than usual, I notice the trees are swaying in the wind, and heavy rain is predicted for tomorrow. Well, that means I have to get my shopping done today!
I did not get to the park yesterday. I was still achy, and had a crick in my neck from the uncomfortable seat and looking up to talk to David and Brian in the ER Monday night. Also, we had a good prayer committee meeting at church and that kind of wore me out, so I really wanted to rest. I keep forgetting that it is only two weeks since I had surgery..takes me a long time to really get my strength back.
But I always enjoy seeing the ducks and different water fowl on Lynch lake. Also, the flocks of ibis in the neighborhood. Lately, I have seen the tiny sparrows that only come in winter. They are almost disguised when they flit down under the shrubs because they look like leaves. Very cute! God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Proverbs 3:21-26 My child, don't lose sight of good planning and insight. Hang on to them, for they fill you with life and bring you honor and respect. They keep you safe on your way and keep your feet from stumbling. You can lie down without fear and enjoy pleasant dreams. You need not be afraid of disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked., for the Lord is your security. He will keep your feet from being caught in a trap.
Wisdom produces honor in our lives and protects us from trouble. Wise people know the difference between right and wrong and choose to do what's right. More than that, wisdom is choosing to apply God's truth and principles to our daily relationships and situations.
Proverbs 9:11-12 Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life. If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Psalm 25:8-9 The Lord is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in what is right, teaching them his way.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 24:5 A wise man is mightier than a strong man, and a man of knowledge is more powerful than a strong man.
Wisdom will give us a richer, fuller life.
Matthew 7:24-27 Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse, because it is built on rock. But anyone who hears my teaching and ignores it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will fall with a mighty crash.
Wisdom inspires confidence and prepares us for the most difficult times. Foolishness is a great risk and leaves us vulnerable to sure catastrophe.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Wisdom
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 clouds today instead of sunshine, but at least the weather has warmed up and it will be a great day!
I was kind of lazy rolling out of bed this morning, because of spending several hours in the ER with Brian. My dear friend, David, took me because Brian had called and said he was having symptoms of a heart attack and had called the paramedics. After testing, everything looked normal, so he was released and I got to bed (but not to sleep) about midnight. Praise God for warnings and answered prayer! So Brian is to make a doctor's app't today for a checkup and will probably be put on meds for BP control.
As for me, I can do without any more visits to the ER!
When I went to the Park yesterday, I saw the usual fat, black gator stretched out on the bank and people walking over to take his photo. I also saw an anhinga airing out the wings and a pretty white great heron wading in the water looking for lunch. Two peacocks were back in front of the house by the park entrance. I had not seen them in a while and didn't know if they were still in the neighborhood. But God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
What are the benefits of wisdom?
Proverbs 9:10 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in understanding.
Psalm 111:10 Reverence for the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. The rewards of wisdom come to all who obey him. Praise his name forever!
Wisdom is not simply knowing facts and figures; it is understanding that an all powerful, all-knowng God has designed a moral universe with consequences for our good and evil choices. Wisdom begins with understanding our accountability to and our full dependence on our Creator. It's not what we know, but who we know.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
