Thanksgiving and Testings

What blessing to know my Savior, Jesus Christ has given me forgiveness of sins and sent His Spirit into my whole being so that i indeed as he said would have The Comforter to be in me, the Spirit of Truth

John 15.26   When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.

       With my Bible, and my coffee,  I find every day the strength to meet whatever life may bring me.    Philippians 4.13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me."   Psalms 119.105 tells us "Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light unto my path."  Again,  Job declares "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him; but I will maintain mine own ways before him.  He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him."  Job 13.15,16.   

     Thanksgiving is a time when people gather together and enjoy their families in our country.   It has been a matter of great concern that increasingly is not out of THANKS to GOD but more a secular idea of just "being together" and "finding comfort in friends and family".   

       It was not like that for the PILGRIMS who came on the Mayflower in 1620.     They had much testing - in illness, a strange land of which they knew nothing, and they struggled on, setting for themselves a home in the NEW LAND.    It was 1621 when they had three days of feasting and activities to celebrate their HARVEST.   Their deepest longing for a country where they could be FREE TO BELIEVE THEIR FAITH AND TO TRUST IN GOD FOR THEMSELVES was a reality.   They were thankful to God for their Blessings.   They did not take them for granted.  

       The OLD HUNDREDTH melody  From Psalm 100  Attributed to  William  Kethe, late 16th century  with the music from the Genevan Psalter  1551  by Louis Bourgeois,  about 1516    

When I visited the Plymouth Plantation in 1987 

with my husband Wm. Henry Cash, Jr. 

we noticed how small the homes were,

While there, a Pilgrim lady sang this song for us. 

              ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL                 SING TO THE LORD WITH CHEERFUL VOICE                 HIM SERVE WITH FEAR, HIS PRAISE FORTHWITH,                 COME YE BEFORE HIM AND REJOICE.                 KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD INDEED;                  WITHOUT OUR AID HE DID US MAKE;                 WE ARE HIS FOLK, HE DOTH US FEED,                  AND FOR HIS SHEEP HE DOTH US TAKE.                 O ENTER THEN HIS GATES WITH PRAISE,                 APPROACH WITH JOY HIS COURTS UNTO,                 PRAISE, LAUD, AND BLESS HIS NAME                  FOR IT IS SEEMING SO TO DO.                 FOR WHY?  THE LORD OUR GOD IS GOOD,                 HIS MERCY IS FOREVER SURE,                  HIS TRUTH AT ALL TIMES FIRMLY STOOD,                 AND SHALL FROM AGE TO AGE ENDURE.                PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW,                PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES, HERE BELOW,                PRAISE HIM ABOVE, YE HEAVENLY HOST,                 PRAISE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST.  
             

 

                             My Sins Are Blotted Out, I Know !

What a wondrous message in God's Word ! 
My sins are blotted out, I know !
If I trust in His redeeming blood, 
My sins are blotted out, I know !

Chorus:   
My sins are blotted out, I know !   My sins
 are blotted out, I know !
They are buried in the depths 
of the deepest sea: 
My sins are blotted out, I know !

Once my heart was black, but now what joy, 
My sins are blotted out, I know ! 
I have peace that nothing can destroy, 

My sins are blotted out, I know ! 
I shall stand some day before my King, 
My sins are blotted out, I know ! 
With the ransomed hose, I then shall sing,
My sins are blotted out, I know ! 

     I expect Jesus to come and call for us to meet Him 
in the clouds SOON      HE IS COMING SOON      
      Until then, whatever life brings my way, I will 
give thanks and praise Him who is Worthy.   "Give thanks in everything for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."  
II Thess. 5.17

                               NOVEMBER 17, 2017 - LOOKING BACK TWO YEARS                          

   MARCH 22, 2015  

            For a week, I had visited my daughter in British Columbia, and this day Bill and Rachel brought me home.    While I was there, I had discovered by looking at many apartments from Seattle to Blaine WA  that the apartment that I was already living in was better than most, and really quite nice.      Only one apartment that I saw met my satisfaction – and I had found it advertised – Rachel and Bill took me to see the site.

At that time I had no idea if there were there be any possibility that this would work out. 

          I contacted the person – and left it with the Lord.  If the person calls me back, I will pursue this. 

           Otherwise, I will be content to stay here in this apartment.  

          The thought that perhaps we might have family gatherings in Blaine or Birch Bay was very appealing to both Rachel and I.    

                        MATTHEW 7: 6,7    ASK   SEEK   KNOCK  

                     Henry my dear husband always did say, we are to keep

                                           Asking

                                                Seeking

                                                   And Knocking  

                            For God Alone

                                     Is the One who will do the

                      ANSWERING       GIVING         OPENING DOORS    

WELL  IT IS  THAT I MOVED HERE.   

 

     I RECEIVED A CALL -  "IF AN APARTMENT OPENS UP IN MAY CAN YOU MOVE HERE IN JUNE?
    I SAID "YES".....     NO OTHER WORD THAN THAT....
                AND  I  STARTED PACKING.

                           WHEN ARE YOU MOVING?   PEOPLE ASKED?  
                               i AM NOT SURE -   BUT I AM MOVING.  

            NOW HERE I AM  AND LOVING IT HERE.
  
            I AM TRULY GRATEFUL.    MAY YOU FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING THE SAME LEADING AND DIRECTION FROM GOD IN YOUR LIFE.  IT BEGINS WITH KNOWING HIM, AND KNOWING HIM BEGINS WITH READING THE WORD OF GOD.  I USE THE KING JAMES VERSION, AND AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE A LINK ON THIS BLOG TO THE BIBLE (K J V).   
            AS WE APPROACH THIS THANKSGIVING, I AM GRATEFUL THAT "MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS."  PHILIPPIANS 4.19 

                        

THIS IS A LITTLE CHURCH IN FLORIDA, MA  

BACK WHEN I USED TO LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS, 

A MR. DANIELS - A COUSIN OF MY GRANDFATHER'S 

FAITHFULLY WENT THERE TO PREACH.

I RECOMMEND THAT THANKSGIVING IS A GOOD TIME 

IF YOU HAVE NOT ATTENDED CHURCH, TO START.

YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO FIND 

THAT IT IS THE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH

THAT ARE "THE CHURCH"  

IT IS NOT THE BUILDING.

SAINTS ARE JUST SAVED SINNERS WHO

LOVE TO BE WITH EACH OTHER 

AND TO WORSHIP GOD TOGETHER.

TRY IT.   YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.  

AND YOU MIGHT JUST FIND OUT WHY 

I AM GRATEFUL.  

WHEN TROUBLES ASSAIL - BIBLEBUFFJOURNAL99 -

WHEN TROUBLES ASSAIL

                 THIS WAS MY FAMILY WHEN WE WENT THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES -  IT WAS BLOSSOM DAY IN HOOD RIVER OR AND SO WE WENT TO SEE THE BLOSSOMS.   

             IT IS ALWAYS GOOD "TO MAKE TIME" FOR FAMILY.   IT HELPS GET THROUGH TROUBLE, AND GIVES JOY MIXED WITH THE TEARS OF DIFFICULTIES THAT COME OUR WAY.

                   When troubles assail, most mountain climbers quit.    The question is, is it harder to go back to where I came from, or easier just to keep going? comes to most climbers.

Getting groceries, we were very happy to be together,

and Daddy would always "reward" the children by 

taking them to "eat out" afterwards.   Here we are 

with Becki and Rachel .    I think Ruth took the picture. 
               In the Christian life, the Spirit is the One who leads and guides the Believer on the road of Life for He always will uplift the Savior in the Believer, and glorify the Father in Heaven.   The glorious Elohim is the Strong One - the ONE who is A PLURAL NOUN THAT USES A SINGULAR VERB.   People eats is an example of a plural noun with a singular verb.  God ris called ELOHIM.   God the Son is called the Creator and the One who made all things.  John chapter 1.1 - 3   
           Genesis 1.1 tells us that  IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.   It does not argue it.   It only presents God as BEING the STRONG ONE who created all things.   In chapter 1 of Genesis in verse 26 and 27 we see that God created man in His image - "Let us make man in our image"   "In the image of God created He him."
        Let us remember that the very one who put us here is the One who loves us and cares for us, and longs to share our life with us.    When troubles assail, and the heart is weary, let each of us turn to the Lord in our need, and let Him direct our way, comfort our hearts, and renew our strength.
      Philippians 4.13  "I can do all things through Christ who is my strength."   The same One who began all things is the very One who wants to give me overcoming power over troubles and fears, over difficulties and obstacles.   He will strengthen us.

GIVING MY BEST, MOMENT BY MOMENT - BIBLEBUFFJOURNAL99 - THANSGIVING

GIVING MY BEST, MOMENT BY MOMENT

          MOMENT BY MOMENT

         I am able to take one moment, and cherish it.
         I am blessed to have that one moment.
         "Jesus Christ, the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever" is what Hebrews 13.8 declares.   In Christ I have the resource of continued strength, and the ability to do what I can, for as long as I can, and however I can, for whoever God sends my way, and for whatever my circumstances or situation may be.

        At Thanksgiving Time it is especially fitting that I think of that verse which says 
                    "GIVE THANKS IN EVERYTHING
                   FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN 
                    CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU."
                           I THESSALONIANS 5.18   

               May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with the 
           Presence of the Lord, for His Promise was that He 
            Would be with us.   I bless the Lord for you, my 
           friend, that He has given me the privilege of sharing
             my heart, and my Lord with you.   God give you
           the courage to accept the things you cannot change,
           the courage to change the things you can, and the 
          wisdom to know the difference.   

            HAPPY  THANKSGIVING DAY and God bless you.

This post was written three years ago just about this time.   Today is the 13 of November, 2017;  

Since I wrote this, I had my Hip operation revision and I am happy to say I am dowing well, am at home in my apartment, and doing my own chores, and tasks.   I was in the Nursing Home for five weeks when they said it might be 12.   Praise to God I am home.

GIVING MY BEST, MOMENT BY MOMENT

GIVING MY BEST,

MOMENT BY MOMENT

       

My aim is to glorify God

in my life

by

abiding in Christ

by

walking in the Spirit

by 

knowing my Father in Heaven

is watching over me

while I go about 

living,

loving others.

John 15.16,17

You have not chosen me,

but I have chosen you,

and ordained you,

that you should go and bring forth fruit,

and that your fruit

should remain,

that whatsoever you shall ask

of the Father in my Name

He may give it you.

Giving my best moment by moment,

I am given the strength by God

to do what He asks of me,

Giving my best moment by moment,

I know that the Results of what I do

are up to Him.

Being Available to God

is all He asks.

MOMENT BY MOMENTmm

MOMENT BY MOMENT

I'VE LIFE FROM ABOVE

Moment by Moment, 

I'm kept in His love,

Moment by Moment,

I've life from above,

Looking to Jesus 

Till glory doth shine,

Moment by Moment,

O Lord, I am thine.

          (Daniel Whittle 1840 - 1901)

JESUS CHRIST CAME TO SAVE SINNER, 

TO HEAL THE WOUNDED,

SIN SICK TO BE MADE WHOLE

I CAN TRUST HIM

Moment by Moment.

Jesus said in Luke 9.23 If anyone would follow me,

let him deny himself, take up his cross daily,

and come

follow me.

Along life's road there is much to distract a person

from following Christ.    

The first thing we must do

is 

LET GO OF OUR "SELF" 

and

give to God all that I am or hope to be.

The next thing is 

to 

DAILY 

take up my cross

IN DOING THIS

We follow on,

Moment by moment,

Day by Day.

There is no short cut to following God along

life's road.
