Today Is A Beautiful Day

Romans 5:1-6

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day.  I enjoyed watering my plants and cleaning counters and washing clothes. Wow, you might think, that doesn't sound  very exciting.  Yet, I looked at the nice bushy ferns and the spider plant my friend potted for me and I thought, "I am so blessed to be able to have running water, and the strength and presence of mine to do these tasks.”

Just as I  water the plants and they continue to grow, the Lord continues to "water" me. I smiled with gratitude and looked to see what I could do next.

I have learned to look for the joy in the usual, in the everyday, in what seems to be mundane. When I started paying closer attention to the small things I was able to more fully appreciate Mighty God.  God pays attention to details.  Everything and everyone is important to God.  I have quoted my grandmother on other occasions: "Steph it don't get too big or too small that I don't go to God."  My grandmother was a wise woman. 

Today is a beautiful day.  God made it.  I am going to rejoice and be glad.  Justified by faith I have peace.  I have access by faith to the amazing grace that leads me on.  Today is a beautiful day. Patiently waiting  and hoping each day.  Thanking God.  Today is a beautiful day.

God bless!

in Christ,

Adds Up…

  2 Peter 1:5   “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;” One of my hobbies is making yarn wreaths.  The wreath frame symbolizing an unbroken circle and an eternal hope. As I tie each double strand of yarn I consider the blessings  of the “tysthatbind”  Adds up… Love+ Faith+ Hope+ Mercy+ Grace+ Peace= Diligently,  Continually  Seeking  to  Add to my faith virtue,  And to virtue knowledge Adds up… God bless.♥️  In Christ, Sis.

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
