I am cheating and posting a song from last year called I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. Actually I did not remember posting it until I was searching for the lyrics. I stumbled upon the same website and realized I had posted it already. Last year the song was fairly new to me and I think I mentioned singing it only a few times in church. It was the article at What Saith the Scripture which

I chose this song because it is a call to worship not only for the angels and the shepherds who sang the day our Lord was born; but for all of us!  Read the Christmas story like it is your first time...think how the shepherds, Mary and Joseph must have felt.  And then worship the babe born in a manger who came to save the Lord.Luke 2:1-20  Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus,

Thankful Thursday ~ a day we set aside every week to be thankful and give the Lord credit for the many blessings he has given to each one of us.  He is the giver of so many blessings.  He paints beautiful sunsets and sunrises, amazing colors of the seasons, and provides for his creation.  He is with us through all of our trials, failures and struggles.  He is also there as we celebrate new life,

My husband is a wonderful man!  Like I haven't said that before!  I was sitting here thinking about all the times he has put up with me - and let me tell you I am not easy to live with.  lol!  He would say I am angel...I'm sure of it.  ;-)Lately, I have been an indecisive, frustrated, depressed, moody, and a little anxious...and he still listens to me ramble...never complains about the MANY times

This is a photo of my boys taken 8 years ago this Christmas. It was our first Christmas here in Michigan and we had finished decorating the tree, which we went out into the chilly winter air to cut down, when I decided to take an impromptu picture of them :-) The oldest boys thought the baby needed a hat - but who took his socks!! I still have the rocking chair and will (hopefully) keep it until

It has been amazing to see the spiritual growth in my husband over the years. It hasn't always been easy or pleasant but he surrendered his life to the Lord. His desire is to serve the Lord - I couldn't ask for anything more. Does He always do the right thing? No. Is his heart in the right place (pointed toward the Lord)? Yes. I am praising the Lord for my husband - today and always.Maybe

Yesterday was Veterans Day - a day we set aside to thank those who have served in the armed forces. I posted about it for Word-filled Wednesday but I want to reiterate - I am thankful for their sacrifice and for the sacrifice of my Savior, Jesus Christ. But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin...You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Freedom ~ a powerful word. If you live in a free country, like I do, then you have someone to thank for that freedom. In America, a lot of people have died to win and fight for the freedoms we enjoy. Today is Veterans Day (also called Remembrance or Armistice Day) - a wonderful day to give thanks to a veteran! November 11th is the anniversary for the signing of the Armistice that ended World

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.  I thirst for You; my body faints for You in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water. So I gaze on You in the sanctuary to see Your strength and Your glory.  My lips will glorify You because Your faithful love is better than life. So I will praise You as long as I live; at Your name, I will

Wisdom - something we need every day to make decisions, the knowledge to live a godly life, giving advice and many other issues that may arise. We may know what to do because of  our experience in the past but many times we need to ask the Lord to provide us with wisdom.  The wisdom the Lord gives is: pure, peaceful, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
