Pictures say ...............................

                                                      


                              As we Sit on my front porch each morning sipping our hot black coffee
                                          listening to the wind blow though the trees.the beautiful birds
                              flying ever so peaceful to stop and drink the nectar or eat from the feeders.
                             
                                                    Talk about peaceful, I think these pictures
                                                                          say it all
                                                    

              (just noticed that I should have removed my weed eating shoes from the chair)

Here comes the glourious sunrise beaming though the trees

The old saying is a picture is worth a thousand words
here are a few that I feel from these picutres

Fresheness,
breaking of the day
content
tranqulity
quite
nature
welcoming


Add a few of your own if you like




Be watching for the next porch post as I travel the county taking a few
pictures of porches ...

 

Bike & Me

The above nice blue bike

was given to me a few (I thinkk 3 or 4 ) years ago

I had wanted a bike from some time

one day at work my neighbor called and said

are you still looking at getting a bike?

Yes, I am was my reply

My neighbor had just bought a new bike

a couple weeks ago

She then proceeded to tell me the Lord had

laid it on her heart to give this to me

I was overjoyed that she and GOD

knew what I wanted

I offered to pay her however she would take nothing for it

I am sure blessed

I rode it that year some and just after her giving it to me

I tore my meniscus and couldn't ride

I tried to ride it each year just couldn't get the knee to work with me

now fast  forward to this year

I can ride

the knee is doing much better Praise GOD for his healing touch

I ride early mornings and late evenings

feeling the wind in my hair and face as I ride

makes me feel like the young girl

that used to ride her bike everywhere

growning up in my little town

that was better than

Mayberry



How to Praise God !

Let me begin to say I am thankful for finding the Multitudes on Mondays as it has changed me to look for little things to be thankful for .
I know that I still do not Prise God enough, I am on a search to learn to Praise him more and more
with each new day.

In Praising GOD more I will

1.. Continue to keep a list of things to thank him for it can be as simple as the beautiful flowers, colors,
the Sun, a child's laughter.  This Trains my mind to stay Positive on the things going on around me .

2.  I will sing a Praise to him , a song that is on my heart or singing along with some music , I can sing
loud and no one hears me on the lawn mower, which works great as no one would want to hear my off
key however the bible says Psalms  34:1 47: 6, 28:7,100:2 , 1 Chronicles 16:23

3.  Closing my eyes and stopping for just a few seconds to say thank you Lord for this moment

4.  Giving Praise to GOD though Prayer , praying many times a day keeps me and you in tune with
our relationship with GOD .I have found when I am outside walking the track its a wonderful time to
pray and give thanks to GOD as its just me and him

5.  Reading daily devotionals is another way to give Praise and be thankful, I like doing my at night
when I can have some quite time during the summer I like to take my devotional , my bible and journal
outside on the deck or porch so peaceful .


6.  Your praise to God is evidenced through your salvation. 1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  Praise To God - Do You Proclaim His Praise?

7. I will clapp my hands, even jumping for joy… dance ... David Danced mightly before GOD (2Samuel 6:14 ,the list is endless. We can give glory and praise to our God with the use of our physical bodies, with our hearts and minds, and with our deeds. There are many ways to praise God! No matter how you praise and worship God, it should result in an awe of God's power, love, and grace for me and you .     GO ahead and Priase GOD right now .....Sing, pray, clapp, dance, Praise .....

Family Heirloom

My husband was given this week a big brown box taped with duck tape that said on the box your Grandmothers Great Grandmothers , making this my husbnads Great Great Grandmothers from years ago. He opened it to find a Black worn leather bond Bible , pages yellowed and dog eared from years of use and age. We looked at this bible with careful hands putting many of the worn pages in plastic sleves to try and save the pages from more deterioration. We found the page dated 1872 wow 141 years . Those 141 years bought to my mind , wondering how many times Chuck's Great Great Grandmother and others though the years have read this bible, the prayers that have been prayed in these 141 years . A Precious heirloom for sure

Notice the Roman Numbers

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home , a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow..................

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it--would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.-- Ralph Marston

Each day I received many gifts, porch sitting with my husband with our morning coffee to enjoy another
sunrise, to be able to ride my bike and walk the track, as I walked the track each night I think GOD that I have that time to pray, and talk to GOD I asked GOD something the other night on my walk and heard the answer from GOD love his voice. for others that are giving
 Thankful for  doing my nightly devotionals outside on the porch and how my lady dog knows to sit and just look at me and be still as I read and pray ~~What a sweet doggy

For each day I am blessed beyond measure , Jehovah Jireh = the Lord will Provide
