About how lovely is the morning

I am musing...

about "how lovely is the morning...."

and our always loving God.

Who else knows that beautiful song from the Zion's Harp hymnal...
"Oh How Lovely Is the Morning, When it is BEGUN with God....."?

Love it! It was running through my mind this morning as I was out watering the flowers, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the freshness of the new day.

And the refrain continued to run through my mind.....

"Oh how lovely" is the daytime, when it is CONTROLLED by God.....

"Oh how lovely" is the hour, when it is FILLED UP by God....

"Oh how lovely" is the time of challenge, when it is FACED WITH God...

"Oh how lovely" is the time of joy, when it is CELEBRATED with God.....

"Oh how lovely" is the time of blessing, when it is ENJOYED with God....

"Oh how lovely" is the time of sorrow, when it is COMFORTED by God...

"Oh how lovely" is the evening, when it is COMPLETE with God...

"Oh how lovely" is anytime.... when it is spent with God!!

Our "always God". He is always needed, always providing, always there...for us!!

Thank You and God Bless!!

Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

I am musing about.... Taking a Selah moment Selah! You see the word used often in the Psalms. What does it really mean? It has been thought that it could mean to "take a pause", to stop, think, reflect, let what you just read or heard really sink in. Last Sunday in church, the minister had us all take a "Selah moment". For an entire minute the large sanctuary filled with potentially stirring/whispering congregants was hush still. As we all thought and pondered, either about something from the first service or an interaction we had during the fellowship time (thus were the instructions anyway) peace sank deeper into my heart. It was powerful. It helped cement in my mind some great thoughts from the earlier service, thoughts that could have easily slipped away. What a great idea! May we all take frequent "Selah moments". Times to pause, take notice, reflect and praise. After reading His Living Word. Selah. In the midst of a noisy crowd. Selah At your comp...

A story of a story of The Story

Updated: Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...
