Slowly Getting Back

Hello Friends. I know I have considerably let down on my blog, but only because it has been extremely busy for me the last few weeks. I am slowly getting back, although there is still a lot to do. A lot that I will not even try to go into. In the mean time, I will start trying to do what I had intended to do awhile back and at least post a scripture of the day, or something of that sort. So please continue to bare with me as my life for this season of my life continues. Thanks again for your support in that you continue to check back here.


Today's Scripture:


O come, let us sing unto the Lord, let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. Psalm 95:1-3


Can we honestly say we make a joyful noise unto our Great King? I know that I can't. Especially in the days when it seems that the process of moving has taken very much a front seat in my life. Being a senior makes it even harder then it ever was, Our kids for the mot part had all moved away to raise their own kids, and it had been hard seeing each of them leave until who was left, just hubby and I.

Life. It had never been easy. But, even so, that is no excuse for the times that I did not make a joyful noise unto God, or read his word. Because, if we let it, his word brings us renewed life. Renewed hope. And renewed healing.

And yet, God understands what we go through that, it is sometimes tough.But he is  patiently waits for us to remember him because he loves us and wants to forgive us of things that get in the way of thinking of him first.

However,even during the midst of the things that troubles and causes us stress, when maybe we aren't thinking of him, he can and does sometimes bless us. I know this because of the countless times over the past times of extreme stress or when I couldn't see my way out, and my thoughts of him aren't on my mind, let alone singing to him with joy in my heart.  And yet, I find that I am on his mind anyway and he blesses me, and sometimes even surprises me.

Because, you see. It is not enough for God to just love and forgive us. Although don't get me wrong, they are the most important things he does for us. Without them, we would be lost.

But, he loves to bless us as well. And when we least expect it, he brings something or some one into our lives, that is meaningful to us and reminds us that....

....he is a great God and a great King and desires for us to go to him with our joyful noises and songs of praise to him and.....

....he inhabits the praises of his people. (Psalm 22:3) Who but God would wholly want to bless his children when they don't shout for joy, let alone those that do.

Even so while we have to endure the hard things of life, it is best to remember God.  Because he does come when we call on him, and even....sometimes when we don't or can't always have him on our minds.
