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 guess we had fog this morning, but it has burned off around here now, and the sun is shining and it looks like a beautiful day is in store for us.
I may go for a walk later on, if God does not have other plans. Yesterday, I drove into the park, which was very crowded and saw Dave C., my yard man, in his park uniform. so I pulled into a parking space and we stood and chatted for a while, and watched all the people walking on and off the boardwalk. One man wearing shorts, and that's it, and others with jackets on. It was very warm in the sun, but slightly chilly in the shade. Dave was wearing a jacket, but I wasn't and I noticed the coolness.
So, my intention was to check out the park and then go to the car wash, and then come and walk, but since it was getting late, I got the car washed and did not come back to walk. But I enjoyed watching the class look at a gopher tortoise while the teacher explained the creature's habits.
I am trying to overcome the bad habit of procrastination that I have, and I got one project done, and am working on another. This means trying to get rid of clutter, which will probably take another year to do. What to do with hundreds of photographs going back to when the boys were little?? The mere thought of it, makes me want to sit down and read a book. Sigh. But God is so good , I know he will prod me to keep at it! However, since today is my birthday, I may take the day off. :o)
From the little God's Promises Book:
God gives to Men (and Women)
Courage to be people of Integrity
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither:
And whatever he does shall prosper.'
The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 1:1-6
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,

Psoaring thru Psalm 91
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 thought it would be foggy this morning, but it looks like we had quite a rain during the night, and instead of fog, we have bright sunshine, and nice temps.
Yesterday afternoon turned out so beautifully, that I took a walk around noon. I walked on the sidewalk at the park, headed for the second bridge, and stopped along the way to look at the many turtles on a dead tree in the water. And from the drainage pipe that leads from Arrow Lake to the canal, water was gushing out with great force, and a beautiful white egret was standing right beside it watchfully. I think it must have been waiting for fish to come out. Meanwhile, four or five ibis were pecking alongside and seemed to be finding lots to eat in the mud. I went on to the third bridge, pausing to look for armadillos, because I could see where they had been digging in the moist soil. As I walked on to the third bridge, I passed a photographer concentrating on something down below, but I could not see anything there, except a mud-covered bottle.
I came across a little drama as I walked back on the sidewalk. I heard but could not see, the little gallinules making a big fuss about something, right at the edge of Arrow Lake. The grass was very high, and I could see a fuzzy, yellow large head bobbing up and down. All at once, a hawk flew up and away with something in its claws. I hope it wasn't a baby duck, but I couldn't tell what it was. The gallinules quieted down then, so that's why they were sounding the alarm. Meanwhile, another photographer was on his knees directly across from the drama, and never moved a muscle. He had his camera mounted on a tripod, and was really engrossed in what he was doing.
And I also saw the fat, black gator lying on the bank of the lake as I drove in. There is always something going on in the life of the Park, even though it may not be visible, unless you are up close and personal. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 91
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare of the Lord;
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I am trusting him.
For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from the fatal plague.
He will shield you with his wings.
He will shelter you with his feathers.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor fear the dangers of the day,
nor dread the plague that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
But you will see it with your eyes,
you will see how the wicked are punished...
The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer,
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue them and honor them.
I will satisfy them with a long life,
and give them my salvation."
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with joy, thanksgiving, and love!

He's Right Here, Right now.
Good morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! We had some much needed rain yesterday and today is still gloomy and damp, but I saw a little ray of sunshine late yesterday afternoon, so maybe after the fog burns off,.it will be beautiful today!
I did not have the car out all day on the holiday, because of the rain, but instead, baked cookies and did some laundry. When I went to the park Saturday, the fat gator was on the bank once again at the lake and this time, in addition to a couple turtles, a anhinga was drying his wings on the weir. Lots of cars and people walking around and picnicking because of the sunshine and warm temps.
We had a wonderful chili dinner and tribute to Miss Jan Sunday night at church. It was so good to hear from all the past pastors, and people associated with FCC long ago, and some more recently. Jan was her usual sweet self, although a little paler, but able to receive and give hugs. We have known each other for around forty years or so. A beautiful friendship! God is good!
From the little devotional book, Knowing God:
The Lord is with you when you are with Him.
If you seek Him, He will be found by you. 2 Chronicles 15:2 HCSB
Do you ever wonder if God is really "right here, right now"? Do you wonder if God hears your prayers, if He understands your feelings, or if He really knows your heart? If so, you're not alone. Lots of very faithful Christians have experienced periods of doubt. In fact, some of the biggest heroes in the Bible had plenty of doubts--and so, perhaps will you. But when you have doubts, remember this: God isn't on a coffee break, and He hasn't moved out of town. He's right here, right now, listening to your thoughts and prayers, watching over your every move.
If you'd like to get to know God a little bit better, He's always available--always ready to listen to your prayers, and always ready to speak to your heart. Are you ready to talk to Him? If so, congratulations. If not, what are you waiting for?
Our body is a portable sanctuary through which we are daily experiencing the presence of God.
God expresses His love toward us by His uninterrupted presence in our lives.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

JOY
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! It's a beautiful, sunshiny day already, but still cold. I have to go to the dermatologist this morning, and I hope I don't have to disrobe on top, because I will be very chilly in one of those paper gowns! Brrr. And then, have to sit and wait for the good doc to come in. Sigh.
Did you all notice the gorgeous blue sky yesterday, criss-crossed with all the contrails? Outstanding! Paul, the weatherman, explained that those were caused by ice at about 25.000 ft. I thought of my friend, David, flying that high and leaving a contrail behind. I was going to the park when I noticed them. Then I slowed down to look at the long, narrow gator sunning on the bank of the lake on the way in. Lots of ducks were walking along the canal again. I think the green-headed ones are mallards. That's what Dave, the yard man told me. He is also a park ranger for his full time job. So, the driveway got blown off, and also the porch, but more leaves are coming! This is only the beginning! But God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Philippians 4:4, 12 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice! I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Joy is a choice. We may not realize it, but we choose our moods and our attitudes. God's promises in Christ are the basis for choosing joy no matter what we face.
Romans 5:3,5 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us--they help us learn to endure. and endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectations of salvation. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

Psoaring thru Psalm 139
Good chilly morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it!
Whoo! I just came in from outside and the wind chill must be in the twenties! I put on gloves to drag the dumpster back up, and should have had ear muffs on! The sun is shining, but the thermometer says it is only 38 still. Looks like a cup of hot tea will be good when I finish this!
I went for a walk yesterday about noon, and was dressed warmly, but forgot my gloves. I walked along the sidewalk at the park, and saw so many different kinds of ducks, some just standing, some swimming. I watched three green headed ducks, (don't know the names) swim across the canal, then come to a stop just beneath me and start taking baths. They were happily splashing, and grooming wet feathers and having a grand time in the cold water and colder air! I also saw a great gray heron, a white egret with the wind blowing the feathers like a lacy skirt around the legs, and a tri-colored heron. The usual ibis were also pecking along the muddy bank. Also, on the way in, two gators were curled up on the bank of the lake by the road and an anhinga was drying out on the other side. Several little gallinules were happily chirping and swimming about. So, apparently, the cold weather suits the wildlife just fine!
God is good!
Psalm 139:1-6 NLT
O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
You both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to know!
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,

Psoaring thru Psalm 37
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! It is cold here this morning, and my hands are so cold, I have trouble typing, but I realize we are warmer than most of the rest of the country. There is still snow in Atlanta, and Cleveland TN, where Daryl and Matthew are. There has been no school all week because of snow and ice, and that suits Matthew fine, as he has been having fun on a snowboard! Of course, that missed time will be made up in the summer when other kids will be out!
I am playing lazy this morning. Yesterday, I had people coming in, including my cleaning ladies who come once a month and leave the house spic and span for a little while, until I mess it up again. :o) They are my across the street neighbors, so we always catch up on the neighborhood goings on. The night of the Auburn game, I had gone to bed before it ended, when I heard a loud "Boom!" and got out of bed to check in the garage to see if a tire blew on the van. Well, turns out Cheryl, who watches over my house looked out and saw flashing lights from the power company on the street in back of her. A transformer had blown, and the neighborhood in back of her was without power. It sounded like a gun shot, it was so loud!
I drove over to the park late in the afternoon, and saw the fat gator curled up on the bank, but not many people were walking because it was rather chilly. But, once again I saw the peacock. His tail feathers were so beautiful even though the sun was not shining. I saw several ibis and an egret with white feathers blowing like lace in the wind. God is good!
From Psalm 37:1-9 NLT:
Don't worry about the wicked.
Don't envy those who do wrong.
For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like springtime flowers, they soon wither.
Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you your heart's desires.
Commit everything you do to the LORD.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence as clear as the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the LORD,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don't worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.
Stop your anger! Turn from your rage!
Do not envy others — it only leads to harm.
For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Jesus was a Servant (and you must be, too)
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! Already we can feel the air cooling down as the cold front gradually moves through, but nothing like the deep South which is still snow covered. Schools are still out in TN and I think the snow on the ground will last a few more days.
We only got a sprinkle of rain yesterday, but the clouds looked so threatening, I thought we would get a really hard shower. I had such an unexpected surprise yesterday! Terry called while I was on my way home from shopping, and wanted to know if he and his wife could take me to lunch. Well, I try never to turn down an invitation to eat, so after I got home we went to Red Lobster and I ordered the lobster pizza, since I didn't get my pizza the day before. God is good!
Then, afterwards, Terry drove through Sawgrass Park, to look over the not-so-good changes, since he used to be superintendent there before retiring. Even though the article in the Sunday paper was mostly positive, the truth is, most of the landscaping was ripped out because of maintenance , such as the low hedge around the house and entrance . Well, it is still a nice retreat for those looking for exercise, or a place to walk their dogs.
Another surprise was a box of Honeybells that arrived from my niece, Kim. She had ordered them for a Christmas gift, knowing that they are not ready until January. So, I had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with breakfast this morning. God is good!
From the little devotional book Knowing God:
Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God-my God- will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 28:20 NKJV
If you want to know God, you should do your best to imitate His Son. How? One way you can do it is by being a humble servant, just like Jesus was.
You live in a world that glorifies power, prestige, fame, and money. But the words of Jesus teach us that the most esteemed men and women are not the widely acclaimed leaders of society; the most esteemed among us are the humble servants of society.
So here's your choice; you can serve yourself (and follow the ways of the world) or you can serve your friends and neighbors (and follow Jesus.) If you really want to know the Father and the Son, you must choose the latter.
-GREAT THOUGHTS-
There are times when we are called to love, expecting nothing in return. There are times when we are called to give money to people who will never say thanks, to forgive those who won't forgive us, to come early and stay late when no one else notices.
Dear Lord, let me help others in every way that I can. Jesus served others; I can too. I will serve other people with my good deeds and with my prayers. and I will give thanks for everybody who helps me. Amen
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
