Thanksgiving


Psalm 100:4 - Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

We had a sweet thanksgiving this year. We are such a small family that my husband, sister, and I often opt to dine out versus making the turkey and all the trimmings. This year we went to Ocean City Maryland. We enjoyed a quiet time of walks on the boardwalk, dinner overlooking the ocean, Christmas lights, and a little bit of shopping. We ate well, laughed lots, rested much, and made memories that we will keep in our hearts. I am so thankful to God for all that He has given me, and yes for even what He has not.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Choosing The Better Things - Women's Bible Study 9/21/17

As we studied the "whatsoever things" of Philippians 4, we covered things that we choose to think on.  As we make volitional choices in our lives, there are often "better things" that we find in God's Word. Here are some of them. Our Better Choices   Luke 10:41-42 New International Version (NIV) 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[ a ]Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”   Our Priorities   1 Samuel 15:22King James Version (KJV) 22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Our responses   Psalm 84:10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the ho...
