Proverbs 16:1-13 ~ Peace with Him

 






Proverbs 16:




The plans of the heart belong to man,
    but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the spirit.
3 Commit your work to the Lord,
    and your plans will be established.

4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
    even the wicked for the day of trouble.
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
    be assured, he will not go unpunished.

6 By steadfast love
 and faithfulness 
iniquity is atoned for,
    and 
by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the Lord,
    he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little with righteousness
    than great revenues with injustice.

9 The heart of man plans his way,
    but the Lord establishes his steps.

10 An oracle is on the lips of a king;
    his mouth does not sin in judgment.
11 A just balance and scales are the Lord's;
    all the weights in the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil,
    for the throne is established by righteousness.

13 Righteous lips are the delight of a king,
    and he loves him who speaks what is right.


This last month had gone by with incredible speed. My mother-in-law celebrated her 90th Birthday with a lot of joy. We picked up a basket of good things. Yet, she, the perpetual clothes horse, loved all of her birthday, but loved the jacket we got her best.  

Her family gave her a room full of love, good wishes, singing, balloons and Balloons 90  surrounded her much decorated chair with her tiara. An admirer, sheet cake, sandwiches and a room full of happy people and ice cream.

Our neighborhood children made the Poodles homemade dog treats. The dogs are still having a few.  And in a cute Halloween dog bag. So wonderful.

Sciatica hip pain returned from 2018.  I have a funny place in my back. And spent time swimming in cold water, until the freeze, another trip to Dallas to clean up the front yard. And then a lovely lunch with family and friends, returning home to 2 weeks of antibiotics. Was coughing to oblivion and back, prayed for. Not coughing. But suddenly needed a different antibiotic. I am missing, missing, missing Church, but not adding more colors to others, like Autumn leaves. No one needs a two week antibiotic episode.  And sinus headache.

And we added shelving to our closets at the ceiling, so everything was piled all over the bathroom. Hop to the left, just a jump to the right, and now you have the Kleenexes.  Get the tens unit while on the deep side of the pile. No bath availbable, instead clothing hill.  Trailing the tens unit falling out of the pocket. 


How would you be, unable to turn over as you sleep for a month, then not breathing for 2 weeks while coughing and having bathroom clothing upheaval? And sinus headache. Me, I tend to get better, take on so many things and then have to go back to bed. The Joy of suddenly having breathing and feeling better.  I think this week will be the 'real heal. '


Other people have had issues too. Our neighbors had a foot of water from their refrigerator water to ice line broke.  One ambulance arrived this year. One fall that was bad. And a leak detection agency. My mother-in-law would like to be home, but there was a house stove left on and a wander off in complete confusion. One angry and disturbed neighbor.  Our sons are so grumpy with us. We have family who don't seem to have achieved calm since the Pandemic, and this can be a fuss up. Two people we know have had a Cancer scare. An old friend of the family, had her neighbors call us to tell us of a Molly Brown, drover herself to the hospital, and survived immediate open-heart surgery.  And yet, and yet, and yet. All are maintaining the maintain. Good News.

We will all pray for each other and help one another. 

We have met 4 service calls of the employees not knowing how to do their job in this month. Let's make that 5. 3 who did!!!  Reminding me of the Russian, 7 foot, giant who arrived to say my having- hysterics-washing-machine was working and pay him $200 dollars immediately. Fortunately, we had a crowd of people in the house, and he was offered to be reported all over Social Media if he did not exit the building immediately. The next washing machine repairman had heard of the 7 foot Russian asking for money. It's a popcorn world!!!




Usually, wake up about 8, pray. And I'm called do to my mom's house or work. We groom and walk the dogs, which is beautiful and will allow us to view beautiful sky, trees, yard, pond and vista, then have a coffee, I swim at twilight to see the sky change. Midday, something around the house will require something. That will take between an hour or two. And then in the afternoon there will be housework. And write this blog, which is a joy of the heart and soul.  So profoundly Grateful to tell of the Love of the Lord. How He sustains, heals and helps. Bless the Readers to have Hope in His Love. We will see His work in these troubled and stressful years.  His Help in these Living Years.  

We talk about Edward's hobby and how he feels today. What goes on with family. And what we love. We pray. Edward was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2011. And saw an excellent specialist in 2013. But he is doing so very well.

We traveled to Arlington Heights, Texas and Panorama Village to see beautiful homes and beautiful Texas views. We are so blessed. 

Edward saw a Doctor this month. And this was rather unusual. But ok. He surprised me with the news on a Monday morning and we went. 

In our 6th decade, there is peace to find our work is surrounding us and we uphold each other.  Edward asked me today if we are old. No, I have had many 2 week colds with all this hacking for many decades. 

,
All the events of the last month have put us between this or that for making Thanksgiving plans. One set cancelled. So we made alternatives. Yet, I tell you, this husband of mine can have 687 opinions in a day. I'm quite sure if I could make the plans, it would be much more fun....






All over Social Media, people are asking what are you grateful for? 

I'm grateful to see Church on TV. I miss Church. I am grateful for the Choir to radiate Heaven to our hearts. I'm grateful and grateful.

I'm grateful for the exercise I can do to make the back pain ease up. I am grateful this will heal.  I am so grateful that this lack of breathing and sleeping will be gone. So Grateful.

Grateful for all the joys in life, Edward loves. So very glad to be the Chief one.

Grateful to look a long distance and see, with my eyes, mortar between the bricks. So thrilled to have dreams come to the forefront. And dreams that prevail still.

And… Profoundly Grateful to the Grocery Store.  The sights of the Poinsettias. The many decades of pristine aroma of a fresh tree.  Still so thrilling.  And to see people so pleased and moving quickly to fill their cart with celebration. Celebration.  The bustle of the Joy of the Season.  Gratitude. 

Our street has so many Christmas lights and a few trees already. Christmas wreaths and Thanksgiving wreaths. The JOY of the Season begins.  No fusses, for what season, is what. The Goal is relaxed Celebration. It is wonderful to come home and see the Celebrations begin.

Grateful to look forward to the next month with expectation and joy. I hope that you as well will have the Joy of the Season. Gratitude and God who trusts us again with the birth of His Son, our Salvation.

There is trouble in the world. Yes. And we do our small part to pray, help and encourage.
And all these small parts, will add up. And, we will see the Hand of God in mankind. To Light the world with Jesus Christ. 

Alleluia. Alleluia. We know God trusts us to give us His Son again this year as a tiny baby.
Alleluia. He wants to save the world in Jesus Christ. Alleluia. 


Abba, Father,

The world is bright with the joyous saints 
who love to do Jesus’ will. 

You can meet them in school, 
or in lanes, 
or at sea, 
in church, or in trains, 
or in shops, 
or at tea; 
for the saints of God are just folk like me, 
and I mean to be one too.” 
(“The Hymnal,” #293)


Alleluia. Alleluia. 
We know God trusts us to give us His Son again this year as a tiny baby.

Alleluia.
He wants to save the world 
in Jesus Christ. Alleluia. 



Miles to go in His Kingdom






♔ Lord Jesus Saves †










Thank You Lord Jesus

You are God

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
