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! What a beautiful morning! The breeze is cool, the humidity is low, and the sun is shining and it is a great day to be alive!
As I walked outside, I paused for a minute or two just to look around and enjoy the air. I looked up and saw a plane so high, I could barely see it, but the contrails gave it away, and then I saw squirrels scampering up the oak tree and an egret flying high from the park to who knows where.
After a church service with a good message yesterday, and full of life from young people, because of VBS starting today, I drove through the park. Not many people were out yet, but dads may have been picnicking elsewhere or at the Trop where a large crowd saw the Rays shut out the Marlins. It was a good Sunday, and God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Freedom from rules and New Life in Christ
Colossians 2:6-10
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must
continue to live in obedience to him. Let your roots grown down
into him and draw nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith,
strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives
overflow in thanksgiving for all he has done.
Don't let anyone lead you astray with empty philosophy and high=
sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the
evil powers of the world, and not from Christ. For in Christ the fullness
of God lives in the human body , and you are complete through your union
with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

Tightrope Trust
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! Today is a replica of yesterday, except the air is a bit cooler, so it was pleasant when I stepped outside this morning. It felt good! Sunshine, a few clouds and gentle breeze...just great!
I noticed in the park yesterday that all the trees have been planted, but I don't know where. Seems odd that they would be planting more, when so many plants were eliminated when so many workers were laid off last year. Most of the hydrilla has turned brown from the spraying, and will soon wash away, so most of the water will be visible once again. I haven't seen the gopher turtle since before the heavy rains, so maybe his home got flooded. But I hope he is okay.
My new yard man is coming this morning, and I look forward to that! I think I have the worst looking lawn on the block right now, but it will soon look much better! God is good!
From the devotional book
Quiet Moments with God
"I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep what I have committed to him until that day."
2 Timothy 1:12 NKJV
In the mid-nineteenth century, tightrope walker Blondin was going to perform his most daring feat yet. He stretched a two-inch steel cable across Niagara Falls. As he did, a large crowd gathered to watch. He asked the onlookers, "How many of you believe that I can carry the weight of a human on my shoulders across this gorge? "
The growing crowd shouted and cheered, believing that he could perform this difficult feat. Blondin picked up a sack of sand that weighed about 180 pounds and carried it across the Falls. They both arrived on the other side safely.
Then Blondin asked, "How many of you believe that I can actually carry a person across the gorge?" Again, the crowd cheered him on.
"Which one of you will climb on my shoulders and let me carry you across the Falls"? Silence fell across the crowd. Everyone wanted to see him carry a person across the gorge, but nobody wanted to put his or her life into Blondin's hands.
Finally, a volunteer came forward willing to participate in this death-defying stunt. Who was this person? It was Blondin's manager, who had known the tightrope walker personally for many years.
As they prepared to cross the Falls, Blondin instructed his manager, "You must not trust your own feelings, but mine. You will feel like turning when we don't need to turn,. And if you trust your feelings, we will both fall. You must become part of me." The two made it across to the other side safely.
Jesus gives us the same instruction when we are asked to trust Him in difficult circumstances" Don't trust your own feelings' trust me to carry you through."
Courage, Brother! Do not stumble though
thy path be dark as night. There's
a star to guide the humble,
Trust in God and do the right.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,

Psoaring thru Psalm 20
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! Another day of sun and humidity! When I opened the door this morning, the heat struck me and it was still early! I filled up the water bowl yesterday for the birds and squirrels and apparently, the birds have been bathing in it, because the water was kinda murky looking like it was dusty! It is really not a big bowl, (an empty Cool Whip container), but the critters are appreciative of a place to splash around.
I was sitting at the P.C. yesterday and looked out the window in time to see two large butterflies flitting by...not at the same time. One looked like a swallow tail, but very yellow and the other was mostly yellow. They went so fast, I could not really tell what kind they were, but I could see they were very beautiful.
My cleaning ladies came yesterday and caught me up on their future "road trip". They are driving to the married one's daughter's house in VA to visit with the grandkid and then, after they return, they will have to go back to baby sit while the daughter and husband go to Hawaii where he will be assigned for a short time. The servicemen were told to bring their wives, because of a short duty day. Well, since one of the ladies does not like to fly, she got reservations on Amtrak, including a room where she and Cheryl will ride in comfort for 21 hours. Sounds like fun to me! These gals have been friends and in business together for about 18 years! One is married with adult kids and the other is single. I really appreciate them.
After doing a little shopping yesterday, I went to the park and watched the work men planting a bunch of trees some place. They have a dozen or so, but I could not see where they were going in. At the spot where they are planting, there are already large maple and oak trees, so I will have to take a walk to find out what is going on. But God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 20
In times of trouble, may the Lord respondto your cry.
May the God of Israel keep you safe from all harm.
May he send you help from his sanctuary
and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
May he remember all your gifts
and look favorably on your burnt offerings.
May he grant your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans.
May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory,
flying banners to honor our Lord.
May the Lord answer all your prayers.
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed king.
He will answer him from his holy heaven
and rescue him by his great power.
Some nations boast of their armies and weapons
but we boast in the Lord our God.
Those nations will fall down and collapse,
but we will rise up and stand firm.
Give victory to our king, O Lord.
Respond to our cry for help.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Matthew 4:10
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! When I stepped outside this morning, I was greeted with the noisy singing of many birds and the steady cooing of mourning doves. It was a happy sound to start the day. They were greeting the sunshine as they no doubt were seeking bugs and other things that they eat.
I had a fairly quiet day yesterday..running a few errands in the heat, and thank you, God, for an air conditioned car! Parking in the shade is always good! As I was driving around Lynch Lake, I noticed a large, dark feathered pelican preening as he perched on a bench. Then, in the park, I saw a squirrel perched on a pole by the trash can looking very cute while munching on something good.
Also, the overgrowth in the canal has been sprayed and is turning brown. While the hydrilla and other growth is choking out the canal, I always kind of hate to see the moor hens homes destroyed. They are such busy, cute little ducks, always talking to each other as they busily build their nests. But God is good!
From the little devotional book Knowing God:
Give God Your Complete Attention
Worship the Lord you God and...serve Him only.
Matthew 4:10 HCSB
Who rules your heart? Is it God, or is it something else? Do you give God your firstfruits or your last? Have you given Christ your heart, your soul, your talents, your time, and your testimony, or have you given Him little more than a few hours each Sunday morning?
In the book of Exodus, God warns that we should place no other gods before Him. Yet all too often, we place our Lord in second, third, or fourth place as we worship the gods of pride, greed, power, or lust. When we unwittingly place possessions or relationships above our love for the Creator, we must seek His forgiveness and repent from our sins.
Does God rule your heart? Make certain that the honest answer to this question is a resounding yes. In the life of every righteous believer, God comes first. And that's precisely the place that He deserves in your heart.
I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours of the day in prayer.
Dear Lord, Your love is eternal and Your laws are everlasting. When I obey Your commandments and put You first in my life, I am blessed. Today , I invite you to reign over every corner of my heart. I will have faith in You. Father, I will sense Your presence. I will accept Your love. I will trust Your will, and I will praise You for the Savior of my life; Your Son Jesus.
Amen
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

My Morning Prayer
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! So again we have a sunshiny day with a slight breeze blowing. Summer is definitely here, and "the livin' is easy.".. reminds me of a song:).
For some reason, yesterday, since I woke up about 3 AM and could not get back to sleep, I stayed up from 5 AM and felt pretty good until afternoon, when the slump came on. So I decided to take a nap, and fortunately, was not interrupted by a phone call. Felt pretty good after that. I was able to sleep well last night to make up for the lack the previous night. But, yesterday, I emptied the dryer of towels, and took a walk around the house to see just how much work my new lawn guy will have to do to get things cleaned up. I had mentioned to him that I needed to call the tree trimmers that I use, and he said that they also trim trees, so maybe I won't have to call anyone else..
I also vacuumed yesterday, because of all the people that have been in and out, working on the P.C. Always something going on. I drove to the park in the afternoon and saw two anhingas with wings spread drying out at the weir, saw a van stop at the gates to the weir and a father with two little ones got out and went around the fence that says in big letters, "No Trespassing" and walked across the weir. Good example, Dad!
I drove on down to the circle and saw a few people out enjoying the beautiful, but hot day. I had to wait for three squirrels to get through chasing each other in the middle of the street, and looked at the canal still full of growth. All was quiet and peaceful...God is good!
The following is a prayer I have printed before. I read it every day as a reminder to myself:
"Oh, God, for another day, for another morning,
for another hour for another minute, for another
chance to live and serve Thee, I am truly grateful."
Do Thou this day free me
From all fear of the future
from all bitterness toward anyone.
From all cowardice in face of danger
from all laziness in face of work,
from all failure before opportunity
from all weakness when Thy power is
at hand.
But fill me
with Love that knows no barrier
with Sympathy that reaches all
with Courage that cannot be shaken
with Faith strong enough for darkness.
with Strength sufficient for my tasks
with Loyalty to Thy Kingdom Goal,
with Power to lift me to Thee.
Be Thou with me for another day and use
me as Thou wilt for Christ's sake, I pray.
Amen
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis

Energy
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 today with temps climbing into the nineties, so another very hot day is in store. I must say that I enjoyed the rainy days, which brought cooler temps, but I am thankful we had all the rain! Now I have large toad stools growing in the front yard.
I have a new lawn man who is to start this weekend, and I am hoping that he can get grass to grow under the shady oak trees. He said that palmetto St. Augustine will grow in the shade, but it can only be sodded in the fall, so I will have to wait until then. He will also do all the trimming, including the trees. So, lots of work needs to be done, but I will just have to be patient.
I did not attend church yesterday, because I think I over indulged Sat. evening. I went to a bake-off competition, which included a cook out and then samples of several outstanding desserts, so as a result, I paid for it Sunday morning. But I sure enjoyed the company, talk, laughter and all the food. Ah, well, all things in moderation...still learning that lesson!
I was able to go out later on, and saw quite a few people in the park, enjoying the beautiful weather. The canal is almost covered with green growth, so there is little water to be seen over the bridge.But it is still a good place to see all kinds of birds and water fowl. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Energy
Why do I sometimes find myself weary and tired?
Isaiah 40:28-31
Have you never heard or understood? Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator over all the earth? He never grows faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
2 Corinthians 4:7 This precious treasure--this light and power that now shine within us--is held in perishable containers, that is, in our weak bodies. So everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own.As human beings we have limitations. We get hungry, tired and hurt. We are not self-sufficient. Instead of relying on ourselves, we need to rely on the Lord. Like the eagle that soars on the currents of wind, we can trust the Lord to carry us onward.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Psoaring thru Psalm 139
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! So, another cloudy, overcast day is upon us once again. Everything is wet and the roof is dripping, so it must have rained again during the night. Was I complaining about no rain a few short weeks ago? God, in His time has taken care of the lack of water.
Well, I have lost my lawn guy. He has health and physical issues that have caused him to drop his lawn work, but he is still able, with great effort, to report to his regular job as a Park Ranger. Meantime, I have contacted another landscaper to come by and give me an estimate today. I have a pitiful yard with almost no grass in the back yard and am losing it in the front due to the shade from the oak trees. But, a lot of trimming needs to be done at times, so I am hoping this new person will be suitable for the job. God always supplies my needs!
I was able to get to Publix yesterday during a lull in the showers, and got what I needed, plus a little extra. The shopping was pleasant, but the checking out was a little annoying, The bag girl was talking the whole time to the cashier and that always bothers me, because it is distracting to the person handling the products, and taking her attention away from the job she is doing. I was polite, though, and did not say anything, thinking she probably needs the job.
On the way home, I noticed the tide was in so high in Turner's Creek, that it was up above the drainage pipes. The ibis love that, so they can peck along the banks. I saw the baby osprey sticking its head up above the nest on the light pole at Sawgrass Elementary. It must be living in a very wet nest! But, God is good!
From the Promise Bible 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,
Amaryllis
