Blessings for a Life Time and more....

As I look back on my life I can see so many ways that God has blessed me and my family.. so I have decided to start naming them in Thanks Giving to my God who has done such marvelous works.  This list may be boring to you, but to me it is more than I can list here. May God be Glorified and Praised forever:


two wonderful children who are now grown with children of their own ~ 12 known grandchildren ~ two step daughters who are just as wonderful as my own ~ a wonderful husband that takes care of my every need, is loving, kind and so precious to me ~ a Great Dad and Mom who knew how to raise me right, that I could love and honor my God ~ two sisters and two brothers with families of their own ~ Godly Grandparents ~ a wonderful extended family spread across the world ~ friends to last a lifetime ~ things that are a pleasure:  beautiful sunsets and sun rises ~ warm breezes in cool weather and cool breezes in warm weather ~ so many stars and the milky way ~ bug less evenings ~ the sight and sounds of many birds ~ beautiful flower gardens and trees to please the eye ~ and more than I can recall. ~ and now on to the desires of my life.....These are the material things I always wanted but never asked for, but that God has seen fit to bless me with..a brick home, a big yard, large house with room for all of us, two bathrooms, an attached garage, a nice front porch with room to sit, and large back deck to enjoy in the evenings while watching the horses and the sun set. Central heating and air and a dish washer too. So very many things that I will still have to share.


Good Health ~clothes to wear ~  food a plenty ~ a payed of truck and car. A good lawn tractor and tools to take care of the animals. A paved drive way and fencing to keep things in or out.


The list will continue from now till I part this life to enter eternity with my God and Savior.

Praying for you all today...




“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and 

more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be 

able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless 

until the day of Christ,” (Philippians 1:9-10)  



Sometimes it is hard to share what we feel in our hearts about

 other people and their salvation.  

The truth is sometimes the hardest thing for people to 

believe.  They want to believe what makes them feel good

inside, so they don't have to acknowledge the truth. 

To acknowledge the truth means having to adhere to what 

others say, and accept what they don't want to know in their 

hearts.  

The truth from God is always the simple way, too simple for 

people to accept. To acknowledge God and His salvation

through Jesus Christ, means to say, "I am not good, and

what I have done in my life is not all good."

Then this means relying on God and His judgement, and then

"I am condemned".

The truth is, turning to God means freedom, freedom from 

sin and condemnation.  The statement in the Bible that says, 

"and the truth shall set you free."  means just that.


The truth of salvation through the blood of Christ, that

was shed for our redemption, was and is a gift from 

God, meant to reunite us with our Creator.

All things from God, given for our good, are gifts with out

 payment on our part.

To accept these things from God, at face value is the best

we can receive from God.

Food for thought?  What is your response?
