Thanksgiving In June

Singing my song of Thanksgiving

Everyone, everywhere, I thank God for you! I call you all friends.

I am happy to speak of our Lord, and to tell of His everlasting love.

Thankfully, joyfully, I realize He has made me who, and what I am.

You and I, we belong to Him, we are not alone. Our Father loves us dearly.

We are blessed to come before God Almighty, to enter His gates, and to sing songs of praise to Him.

We can call Him by Name; Abba Father! He is so good to us. I know He is!

I am never alone. He is always with me, loving me, caring for me – His is good to me.

He is the same merciful God whom my great-grandfather and his great-grandfather worshipped and depended upon. Our God is so reliable, all the time.

I am thankful I know Jesus, that I have a Bible to read, eyes to see with, intelligence to understand with, two hands and fingers with which I can type this message, my good health, my church and all of you; whom I call friends. I am thankful for this wonderful land; America, in which I was born having two wonderful parents who are now in heaven with my Lord. I am thankful for my church, my wonderful neighbors and everyone who goes to work in the stores and businesses that provide me with the things I think I need. I am so blessed by God.

I gladly, and with an appreciative heart sing this song of Praise to Him.



(This is my personal response to Psalm 100).

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is none less

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
