  • Scripture Sunday III – The Gift of His Love

    Ever have a day when it’s all you can do to find the strength to cry “HELP”?

    God led me to His LOVE in His Word today …

    He is looking about, seeking whose heart He may comfort!

    His Word is LOVE and it’s where we will find all that we need …

    all that’s left for us to do is trust!!

    But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast LOVE and faithfulness.
    Psalm 86:15

    Your steadfast LOVE, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
    Psalm 36:5

    Yet the Lord will command his LOVINGKINDNESS in the day time,
    and in the night his song shall be with me,
    and my prayer unto the God of my life.

    Psalm 42:8

    Therefore return to your God!
    Hold fast to LOVE and mercy, to righteousness and justice,
    and wait [expectantly] for your God continually!

    Hosea 12:6

    Is there a favorite verse on God’s amazing love you might share?

    Would love for you to join in on Scripture Sunday with me …
    just grab a photo,
    find one that fits it from the Word,
    post, and let me know!

    Praying you all have a blessed week!

    - Deborah <><


  • yes, i’m dreaming of a wintery white and blue christmas . . .

    finally we move from the fall to winter …

    it’s a brisk 30* and we are expecting a bit of snow,

    well, at least according to the weather man, that is,

    but as we all know, they don’t know it all! lol!

    i’m hoping they’re right this time, though … really right!!

    now …

    please pardon the mess as i change it up a bit around here.

    i have fun doing this and not sure just exactly what I’ll end up with …

    it’s been awhile since i really worked on a new theme!

    i do have to say, though,

    it’s a perfect wintery afternoon to sit here with a

    hot cup of cocoa and ‘blog storm’!

    sadly, i lost a lot of graphics when my old pc quit on me,

    but i’m happy to see that many of them are still here in my photo section from the past!

    now, as for a new theme …

    it’s christmas time and i love a ‘white’ christmas with a touch of blue ….

    so, let’s see what i can do! :)

    i have yet to upgrade to the ‘newer’ xanga pages,

    but i am using the new ‘editor

    and i can’t seem to get the  background color to change here for my post. :(

    maybe i’ll check into the ‘newer’ ones to see how difficult they are to work with.

    well, i best get started!

    hope you’re all having a wonderful day in Him!

     

    blessings to you,
    deborah <><

    p.s. wonder of wonders …
    figured out out to get color on my background!
    just changed back to the ‘old editor’,
    and yay, it’s now wintery white!!

  • scripture sunday II || the unsearchable things

    “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
    and his greatness is unsearchable

    - Psalm 145:3 -

    “There is no searching of his understanding”
    - Isaiah 40:28 -

    “Great is our Lord, and of great power:
    his understanding is infinite”

    - Psalm 147:5 -

    “There is far more to be discovered concerning God and His great creation
    than all the scientists can ever hope to discover in this life.
    But those who love Him will have an eternity of time to search
    out the majestic complexities of His infinite universe, for” ….

    “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
    the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”
    - I Corinthians 2:9-10 -

    … i tell you, that right there, brings a joy to my heart …
    an ‘expectant excitement’ i guess you could say!!
    like the excitement in a child’s heart on a Christmas morning
    only magnified a gazillion times,
    and all of it without an end … ever …
    can you even begin to imagine!!!
    all I can say is … WOW!!


    “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
    how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!”
    - Romans 11:33 -

    “Unsearchable Riches”
    by: Frances J. Crosby

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ,
    Wealth that can never be told!
    Riches exhaustless of mercy and grace,
    Precious, more precious than gold!

    Precious, more precious,
    Wealth that can never be told!
    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Precious, more precious than gold.

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Who shall their greatness declare?
    Jewels whose luster our lives may adorn,
    Pearls that the poorest may wear!

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Freely, how freely they flow,
    Making the souls of the faithful and true
    Happy wherever they go!

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Who would not gladly endure
    Trials, afflictions, and crosses on earth,
    Riches like these to secure!

    well .. this is the second in our scripture sunday challenge!
    if you’d like to join in, take a picture, add a verse, and share it on your blog,
    and please do let me know! :)
    would love to see what God has spoken to your heart this week!

    yes, i know, it looks like i’m still stuck in november around here …
    seems like time is flying by.

    i do need to take some time to make changes
    that reflect the Christmas season, now don’t i! 
    :/
    maybe i’ll start today,
    and finally get to december this coming week …

    hope yours is blessed!

    xoxo

  • scripture sunday

    hello to my dear xanga family!

    i will be back very soon with more of an update,
    and also for some Christmas ‘decorating’ around here,

    but for now -

    i thought i’d start something new …

    if you’d like to join in, all you need to do is …

    take a picture
    add a scripture

    and share that scripture-to-a-picture for each sunday

    hmmm, think i’ll call it …

    ‘scripture sunday’

    most of us love taking photos,
    and i enjoy adding a quote or a verse to them.

    so, for this little ‘challenge’,
    just add a scripture that would go with the theme of your image
    and share it on your blog!

    it’s a good excuse to get into the Word of God …
    and you know, when we do that, we get blessed!

    hope you’ll join me in spreading the Word
    and encouraging one another!

    have a blessed sunday in Him!!

    hugs,
    ~ deborah <><

quote and verse

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
- Andrew Murray -

God often comes to us,
not in dramatic and the spectacular,
but in quiet, unexpected ways ...
In a still, small voice,
a gentle whisper,
God makes known His love.

In quietness and trust
is your strength.
Isaiah 30:15

Pleasure, possessions, power, and privilege are ultimately worthless in comparison to the indescribable
joy of knowing GOD!!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Psalm 32:8
