Today's Verse for Sunday, August 10

Lamentations 3:31-32

31 For no one is cast off by the Lord forever.

32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,                           so great is his unfailing love.

Happy Sunday all.   We have been in the oven again and no relief in sight   Saturday (yesterday (was 95 real feel 116)

Thank you to my faithful followers *I am back to posting*  I took a social media break.  I have been going to Bible study since the end of May and love it!  in my spare time I am doing Bible Journaling and 2 different devotionals every day.   I am growing my relationship with Jesus and God!

Knowing your purpose is key to two very important qualities you need for success:  Tenacity and Resilience 

tenacity is the ability to keep going when you feel like giving up.  You'll need it often in life, particularly in hard times.

Resilience is a little different.  It's the ability to bounce back when you've had a failure or you've been put down by a circumstance or by other people.

This is my niece Dayna *without glasses* and her bestie Ashley taken before Bible study.   We have it at the lake marina....it is so peaceful once it cools off we can have it outside.

This is my friend Tammy we go to church together, praise God she started going to Bible study with me this past week, she loved it and is looking forward to coming back

This week I will get someone to take a pic of my Sis n law, me and my niece,  and will try to get a group pic

Thankful Thursday

 The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.

—Proverbs 10:8

Happy Thursday all

I am always thankful for my Salvation, and the love of our heavenly Father.                            thankful for a few days of cooler temps, food in the cabinets, a/c for the heat, dependable transportation.

Thankful for the relationship that is growing between my sister n law, and niece, and the great niece and nephew.

Thankful for new found friends, and a special friend that God has brought to me

Please continue to pray for our little church, and that if it closes, I will be able to find another church.   A friends needs financial prayers,  another friend needs an unspoken prayer, families needing prayer, our country.

I hope everyone has a blessed rest of the week and weekend

Thankful Thursday

 

Thankful Thursday

There is so much that I am thankful for I do not know where to begin.

I am always thankful for my salvation.  God's Majesty                         A/C in this continued +100 degree days                                                 I have started going to Bible Study with my sister n law and niece, for those of you who have been following me for a while, know this has been something we have all prayed for. That we would be a family instead of odds.   Right after mama passed *4 yrs ago the 17th of July* we started working on our friendship/family.                          

I would like to ask for prayers for our little tiny church of 10, this week one of the elders he is 94 turned in his keys as he no longer feels safe driving, and once he gets dressed, he fears of falling.            Our church may be closing soon but isn't the right time yet.

God, is working in me, with a few things,  I love how His timing is always perfect.

I hope everyone has a blessed week and upcoming weekend

Today's Verse for Wednesday, July 30

Happy Saturday

 Hey all again the last 2 weeks have been crazy busy with the weather, and dr's appt.

It is spose to storm over night again 1st time since 2019 that all of OK is drought free.  This week Tuesday I started going to a small group bible study with my sister n law and niece, it was so much fun, we had dinner (Mexican food) and a wonderful study.   I will say the fellowship was awesome, and could tell that the Holy Spirit was present.    I miss my church in KS  at times like this.   I am not sure if I am in the right place or not, so if you pray please pray I receive God's guidance.

God has brought someone into my life I never thought I could find love and happiness again after Gary *gator* passed away.  I will disclose more at a later date  

A beautiful ending to a beautiful day 

This is where we had Bible study isn't this peaceful?

Today's Verse for Saturday, May 31

Romans 5:10

10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,                                               we were reconcile to him through the                                                   death of his Son, how much more,                                                         having been reconciled, shall we be                                                     saved through his life!

                       

staying put / moving on

 Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.

Sometimes we live in the same place where we were born and remain there all of our lives.

Sometimes we move away and never come back because of jobs, marriage, circumstances of all kinds.

Sometimes we choose where we will live and we have definite reasons for staying there even though we might be far from family.

1. Are you far from family and if so why? Would you like to have them closer and have you discussed that with them?  I live 20 miles from *opposite directions* from both brothers, and both nieces.   I have cousins  all over the United States.   I am closer to my family than 3 yrs ago.

2. How did you come to live in the state you are in? How about the city/town.

  I was born and raised in OK, have lived in TX, CA, and KS always returned back  to OK  The town that I live in is where I lived as a child.

3. What good things keep you living where you are? Being close to family and living in a small rural town.

What's good about your state and town?  OK is known for OIL, My town is the hay capital of OK and means Black Fox in Cherokee    OK over all is still a how ya doing kind of state.

4. What things might convince you to move to another state or just another town?  It wouldn't take much persuading for me to move back to South TX *Corpus Christi, to be exact*  that was one of the happiest times of my life.   My nieces and great nephews and niece keep me parked here
