TIME WELL SPENT!

I got up this morning,
filled the old coffee pot,
then I opened God's word,
and it's wisdom I sought.
Philippians was the book,
and with each word I read,
the message of chapter four,
was to keep good thoughts,
running through my head.

A CHRISTMAS QUOTE

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveler, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers

MY FAVORITE PSALMS!

Psalm 121English Standard Version (ESV)

My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

121 lift up my eyes to the hills.
    From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.

TODAY'S PSALMS

Psalm 4 English Standard Version (ESV)

Answer Me When I Call

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
    You have given me relief when I was in distress.
    Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
O men,[a] how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
    How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.
Be angry,[b] and do not sin;
    ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.Selah
Offer right sacrifices,
    and put your trust in the Lord.
There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
    Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
You have put more joy in my heart
    than they have when their grain and wine abound.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

JUST LOOKING!

Looking out my window,
once again,
watching birds fly,
to and fro they go,
some fly fast,
some fly slow.
A eagle, a mighty bird,
flies high in the sky,
and over in the pine,
I hear a blue jay cry,
rain, rain, I want rain.
A robin sings,
from it's perch,
on top of an aspen,
cheer-up, cheer-up.
From my window,
I have been taught,
by my feathered friends,
about God's creation,
His creation that never ends.
