Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

My Daybook

FOR TODAY, May 11, 2009 ... I am choosing to focus - on enjoying each moment with which God has blessed me; . . . on loving my family & friends; . . . on my husband and our life together!

Outside my window... it's chilly and raining - the grass and trees are so green and beautiful!

I am thinking... that I have so much to do today and need to get busy!

I am thankful for... my life! I'm thankful that Jody and I are together, loving each other and looking forward to our future!

From the learning rooms... we (meaning the daycare kiddos) are making a "my favorite things" page!

From the kitchen... I am going to put some chicken breasts in the crockpot and then decide what to do with them after they finish cooking!

I am wearing... navy blue sweats, a blue t-shirt, white socks and a black sweater! Yes, I am a fashionista - I am also freezing!

I am creating... pictures for the kiddos to glue on their craft page!

I am going... to the chiropractor this afternoon and then to Walmart for a couple of things!

I am reading... I have so many things to read and intend to start soon!

I am hoping... for some dry weather this week so we can play outside!

I am hearing... the sounds of the kiddos playing

Around the house... laundry is underway - bedclothes, towels, clothing

One of my favorite things... is my Bible! It is the Bible that I gave my Mom for her birthday the year before she passed away and she gave it back to me as her passing came near. It is large print and has a beautiful Thomas Kincade cover.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Jody will be having surgery on Wednesday morning. It will be about a 4 hour surgery on his back. We are praying that God will cover him with His protection and healing and that he will guide the surgeon's hands through the surgery.

One of my devotional posts will be published
on Internet Chat Cafe tomorrow, May 12.


Here is picture thought I am sharing...

This is a picture of my great-aunt as she was teaching a Bible class during Sunday School at church. My aunt has passed away, and this picture is very precious to me! This could be a picture of any of the women in my family as they studied. They all had and have a great love for the Lord and spent many hours in His Word. I strive to be as faithful and devoted as they were and as they are!

    Prayers continue for your husband as he heals from surgery.

    Thanks for sharing "this is my life" -- I see that in the midst of the everyday things of this world, God is mixed in the middle. Refreshing to see that He is included in our lives as we go through the tasks for the day.

    Blessings to you!
