I AM ONLY ONE

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. Helen Keller

SING TO THE LORD

Psalm 98 A psalm. 1 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. 2 The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. 3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; 5 make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, 6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn— shout for joy before the LORD, the King. 7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. 8 Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy; 9 let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

A TOUCH OF BLACK

AS PROMISED I AM SHOWING YOU SOME OF THE BLACK IN MY LIVING ROOM. THIS IS ONE LITTLE AREA WITH A BLACK AND WHITE PRINT IN A BLACK FRAME, THE PLANTER IS BLACK TOO. OF COURSE MY DRIED HYDRANGEAS ARE IN THE PICTURE. THAT IS WHERE THEY SIT MOST OF THE YEAR. I NEED TO ADD MORE TO THE VASE THIS YEAR. ONLY FRESH, DRIED WILL DO, NO ARTIFICIAL HERE. I SOUND LIKE A COFFEE COMMERCIAL... FREEZE DRIED TOO. HA HA . THE MAJORITY OF THE BLACK IN THE ROOM IS FROM TABLES AND THE FIREPLACE. I WILL SHOW YOU THAT SOON. JUST A PEEK FOR NOW. ROMANS 12:12 BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER.

SPLINTERS

HELLO DEAR FRIENDS. I AM FEELING BETTER TODAY. I HAVE MADE IT A PRIORITY TO FOCUS ON GETTING MY DIABETES UNDER CONTROL AND I AM JUST ABOUT THERE. NUMBERS ARE STILL A LITTLE HIGH IN THE MORNING. BUT I AM SURE WITH MY DOCTOR'S HELP THAT WILL GET BETTER. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE LEFT ME GET WELL COMMENTS. IT REALLY WARMS MY HEART TO KNOW YOU ALL CARE. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE JUST A SMALL PORTION OF MY MORNING PRAYER WITH YOU TODAY. AS I WAS PRAYING FOR OTHERS.. I WAS REMINDED OF THE BOARD I HAVE IN MY EYE.... AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT .. I REALIZED THAT I MIGHT NOT HAVE SUCH A BIG BOARD , BUT I DO HAVE TONS AND TONS OF SPLINTERS. THEY RUN THROUGH MY BODY... SINS THAT I THINK ARE TOO SMALL TO BE NOTICED . BUT GOD SEES ALL. EVERY TINY LITTLE BIT OF WOOD (SIN) . MY PRAYER TODAY IS THAT GOD WILL TAKE HIS HOLY MAGNET IF YOU WILL, AND REMOVE ALL THOSE LITTLE SPLINTERS THAT KEEP ME FROM BEING ALL I CAN BE TO HIM. TOMORROW I WILL BE RETURNING TO MY NORMAL POSTING AS I AM FEELING BETTER. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!

SUNDAY SCRIPTURE

Colossians 3:13

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
