Have you ever kept a journal? Many people do. They have gillions of them in the book stores. My precious husband, Dennis, gave me a journal when my book, Good Morning, God! was published. What a thoughtful gift. He knew I was about to embark on a new chapter in my life and I should be chronicling the experiences. I had tried journaling before but just never really stayed with it. Since Dennis gave me this one, I felt obligated…..
Ginger’s Note: Occasionally I receive a note from an inspired reader and this is the case with this blog. I love hearing from you, Ginger Leaning on the Everlasting Arms was published in 1887 with music by Anthony J. Showalter and lyrics by Showalter and Elisha Hoffman. 1.What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms. Refrain: Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from…..
Have you heard the song When You Don’t Know What to Say, Just say, Jesus? Wow! Just say Jesus. I’ve found myself doing that more and more. It centers me and clears my head and heart. When I say, Jesus, I can almost feel Him beside me. Try it. It is a wonderful feeling. You know He is there with you. Just say His Name. We can get so caught up in whatever is going on around us that we…..
We all know the story of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham is the story of faith. God called him when he was a pagan in the Ur of the Chaldeans to leave the only home he knew and take his family and go to a land that God would tell him. Can you imagine having that much faith? God didn’t tell him where he was going. But, Abraham trusted God to the point that he did as God asked Him to…..
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Even in the midst of the tragedies in which we live, we have to remember one thing: God is on His Throne and He is in control. He Reigns! When things seem to spin out of control and we don’t know what to do next, we do know where to turn. Christ promises He will never leave us or forsake us. The craziness of the world will not prevail. We have a Mighty…..
“Oh, God, You are my God and I will ever praise You.” As I start my prayers each morning and after I say, “Good Morning, God!” I always give Him praise. I love Amy Grant’s song that says “Your praise will ever be on my lips.” I find myself singing that all day. We are so incredibly blessed. God continues to shower us with His blessings. I love to thank and praise Him for all He has done in my…..
One of my favorite scriptures is 1 John 3:1a that says: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” Do you realize the significance of this scripture? Do you realize the great love God has lavished on us! Our God is a great God and everything He does is great beyond our expectations. He doesn’t simply give us blessings He “lavishes” us with blessings……
