Psalm 118 ~ Give Thanks to the Lord!

 

The important detail of winter gardening

the 

urgency 

to cover the tender plants

because

Spring is Coming

Edward disc golfed in Austin this weekend and picked up a SPONSOR! 

Won the younger age group in the tournament.

Mint Disc Manufacturing. They have a great facility in Austin.  A course, a bar with stellar things to try, with a restaurant. And a porch that has wildflowers, small children running about happily and as many Lightening Bugs as one could hope for.

Edward says he walked 9 miles this weekend.  Well, honey, he walked 3 hours a day. I was putting up my front and back gardens for Houston freezing, tornado, hail, strong thunderstorm weather.  And praying for milder weather like a sweet small snow. 

I didn't walk 3 hours a day for a couple of days. I went back and forth from 8 am until 7 pm.

Quickly, from Friday to Sunday and then again, checking on the blow overs on Monday.

Like this, but outside

And we all looked like this putting away Christmas,

which is next for our household. 

We were so blessed to find our furnace, did just fine with a good, good professional look over. Nothing like turning on the furnace for the first time to the sound of silence. And the joy of finding the furnace is putting out an aroma of furnace, with a good fan. THANK GOD!

Psalm 118

Oh give thanks to the Lord, 

for He is good;

    for His steadfast love endures forever!

2 Let Israel say,

    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

3 Let the house of Aaron say,

    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

4 Let those who fear the Lord say,

    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;

    the Lord answered me and set me free.

6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.

    What can man do to me?

7 The Lord is on my side as my helper;

    I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

    than to trust in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

    than to trust in princes.

10 All nations surrounded me;

    in the Name of the Lord I cut them off!

11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;

    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

12 They surrounded me like bees;

    they went out like a fire among thorns;

    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

13 I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,

    but the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and my song;

    He has become my salvation.

15 Glad songs of salvation

    are in the tents of the righteous:

“The Right Hand of the Lord does valiantly,

16     the Right Hand of the Lord exalts,

    the Right Hand of the Lord does valiantly!”

17 I shall not die, but I shall live,

    and recount the deeds of the Lord.

18 The Lord has disciplined me severely,

    but He has not given me over to death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,

    that I may enter through them

    and give thanks to the Lord.

20 This is the gate of the Lord;

    the righteous shall enter through it.

21 I thank you that You have answered me

    and have become my salvation.

22 The stone that the builders rejected

    has become the cornerstone.

23 This is the Lord's doing;

    it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made;

    let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!

    O Lord, we pray, give us success!

26 Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!

    We bless you from the House of the Lord.

27 The Lord is God,

    and He has made His Light to shine upon us.

Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,

    up to the horns of the altar!

28 You are my God, 

and I will give thanks to You;

   You are my God; 

I will extol you.

29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

    for His steadfast Love endures forever! 

Psalm 30:12 

That my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent. 

O Lord my God, 

I will give thanks to you forever!

  

  

Psalm 95:2

 

Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving;

 let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

1 Chronicles 16:34

Oh give thanks to the Lord, 

for He is good; 

for His steadfast Love endures forever!

  

  

Philemon 1:4

I thank my God 

always when I remember you in my prayers,

Ephesians 2:8 

For by grace you have been saved through faith.

 And this is not your own doing; 

it is

 the gift of God

Abba, Father!

Happy New Year

thunderstorms,

Thank God.

Praying freezing cold, cold temperatures

from 78' to 28' in one day

will skirt the freeze mark

and, maybe give us a sweet, small snow.

Please pray for our safety.

Perhaps God will be merciful

and we will have mild snow... instead!

Giving thanks

for great Furnace help

and insulation help.

Thank You, Lord.

The safety 

of those

helping the earth 

to heal.

Let evil and practicing evil

depart 

far 

from us

and our children.

With Your Help

We will act justly

 and to love mercy

 and to walk humbly with You, our God.

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, 

in Jesus Christ. 

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

to become,

 more Heaven

to this earth.

And in Jesus - This Hope.

Faith and Love - we will rise up Believing Jesus.

Amen
