Devotion August 28, 2012



Today is Tuesday, August 28, 2012 in Conway, SC in the USA on Planet Earth.


Good morning friends,
It is a good day.  We are alive and given another day to praise God.  let's start by praising Him.  Psalms 118:24 says "This is the day the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it".



Verse 28 reads "Thou art my God, and I will praise Thee; thou art my God, I will exalt (lift up) Thee".  Verse 29 states "O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever".

Friends, this simply means that today is the day of salvation.  Jesus came that we could have a new life because of, and through, Him.  God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to earth to live among man and woman, to feel as we do - the pain, emotions, afflictions, etc.  He came to save us out of the sin we are born into.  This salvation was, and is, possible because He was the perfect holy and acceptable sacrifice unto God.  He loves us so much.  Can you fathom this?  Have you ever loved anyone so much you would do anything for them?  That love is only a drop in the bucket compared to the love of God.  Agape love!  Pure love!  Unconditional love!  Our Lord loves you that much!!!

Wednesday, August 22, 2012 on Planet Earth.

Hello Friends,

     I'm moving later today than normal.  It's been busy this morning.  Some would say it's "monkey business".  I say it's my business relating to things I need to get done.  Still need to get by Agape on Hwy 378 to visit with my hospice people.  How about you?  Have you been busy?

     We've had quite a bit of rain here on Hwy 701 South in Conway the last few weeks.  The water table should be up in the rivers and lakes.  It is in our pond.  Mr. Roger and I have seen the water level real low in the pond in the past.  Temperatures are nice this week.  Don't you think  low to mid 80s is great for this time of year.  Makes me wanna shout and praise God.  He is so good to us (and to everybody).  We need to be still and take time to thank Him for His many blessings.  He is so rich in His mercy and His mercies are new each morning!

     I trust you are feeling well and even better this week than you were last week.  Did you read up on the healing scriptures I left with you.  If not, please go back and try and regain them.  The word of God will help if you accept Him, trust Him, and serve Him completely.  He will make you whole!

                                                                                   Today's Devotion

     Last week I spoke to you more about myself than ever before.  I mentioned things about my past health known only by a very few close people and doctors - several of who tried and failed at healing me or even making me better.  I repeat what I said last week.  I am not against doctors.  God placed them here for a purpose.  I especially lift up the ones that are guided by the Holy Spirit.  I think a lot of the family doctor I have been seeing for the last several years.  She found Mr. Roger's heart problem and he now goes to her as his family doctor (VA before).  I've started taking more notice concerning my son and his family's health.  He and his wife are past 40.

Today is August 13, 2012 on Planet Earth.

Today is the day the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.  (Psalm 118:24)
Also, it is my lovely daughter-in-law's (Sherryllynn Bell) birthday.  From me to you--Happy Birthday, Ruthie.  I love you!!

     Now for our devotion.  Good morning, friends.  It is still very early.  The roosters haven't even started crowing yet.  But it's Monday so they're probably sleeping in for a while.  We don't know what this day may bring so let us be ready.  Have you prayed yet to our Heavenly Father?  If not, join with me in doing so now.
  
  Father God, we come unto You with a grateful heart.  We thank You for another day You have given us to make better choices than we did yesterday.  We thank You for a better night's sleep, and for all things we praise You.  We put our trust in You to meet our needs for today.  You have promised us provisions IF we obey and keep Your words and follow You and Your plans.  May we enter into the joys of the Lord to please You, Father.  We welcome you Holy Spirit into our life.  Guide us to be a light to them in darkness that we may lead someone to give their heart, soul, mind, and body completely over to You.  Use us as vessels to save souls from hell's fire and all there is in it.  Thank You Lord Jesus.  We praise You Holy One for You alone are worthy.  Amen.

                 TODAY'S MESSAGE - Healing and Living Through the Presence of God
     In the beginning of 2011, I knew some drastic changes had to be made in my life.  I had been sick and down long enough!  In fact, way too long!  My spiritual eyes had scales on them.  In fact, they were almost sealed shut!  As I sat in my husband's recliner on a Sat. morning, I felt Death encamp about me.  I could see and feel the dark cloud and I was afraid.  I was not ready to die even though I had prayed a very silly and selfish thing - for God to take my life.  I was SO tired of being sick and tired.  The pain seemed more than I could bear.  I was completely disgusted with my life.  I had wallowed in self-pity long enough!  God said "Enough is enough!  Get up and get on with your life.  There is much to do and people much worse off than you.  I will heal, help and sustain you"!  Praise God.

Out And About With Ms. June



Hello there.  I did get out a little this week.  I got by the Haberdashery and say my friends Tracy, Russell, and Eileen.  They were busy.  They had a big sale going on.  I found several pairs of shoes.  You should go by and check it out.  They've got some pretty hats.  Hats are in.  Get yourself one for fun or glamour.  Go for it.  I've been wearing one for a few years now.  I didn't care if they were in or not.  I just love them, as did my Mother. I also dropped by Curtains and Things.  I love that store. you can find so many neat things in there.  The ladies are so nice.  Little Ms. Nancy helps out in there.  She's part of the family, too.  She was working when I went in.  She is a darling.  Go by and see them.  Tell them I sent you there way.  They are on 3rd Ave in Conway.font-family:

Today is Wednesday, Aug 1, 2012

Good morning friends.  Hope ya'll are planning on a great day.  The weather is wonderful.  It is not supposed to get too hot this week and, boy, did we need the rain.  At least we did here on 701S in Conway, SC.  It's rained very hard at times, thunder roared and the sky lit up with bright streaks of lightning.  It can be so beautiful.  It's all God's handi-work!!

Our Devotion For Today:

     Do you ever dwell on the promises of God?  In Romans 8:38-39, the word of God tells us "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any power, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord".  Nothing can separate you from the love of Jesus.  Let this promise trickle throughout your inner-most being.  Let it saturate your heart, soul, and mind.  Nobody can love you like Jesus does.  It is true love, unconditional love!
