Good morning everyone!

I do pray that you all will be able to enjoy the beautiful days that GOD has made in this time of year. It is getting warmer now and the leaves have turned green and the buds are in bloom all stretching and reaching up to the sun! Look at that blue sky with no clouds!

This is one of our trees, and when I looked up at it, I noticed the beautiful blue sky behind it. The colors are so pretty like one of the prints in a pretty summers dress. And what is so awesome about the tree in bloom and the sky’s color is that it is a part of GOD’S creation!

Our GOD is all wisdom, wise and wonderful! Just to think about all that GOD has done for the earth alone is far more than any one human can understand. I will always be in awe of what our beloved crestor has done, made and will do. Because it is all good.

Many of us humans need to just sit back and find a peaceful place to give GOD praise. Get a peace also within ourselves. Not try to feel we can do all things and be in control of all things. We do not need to know everything GOD knows and sees. Why should we?

We are never alone when we have our all mighty GOD and HIS beloved so with us. Never. I do feel their loving presence with me at all times , guiding me and giving me comfort and instruction on all things. Patience is part of it when we wait on our GOD to help us through this fallen world of sin.

This I truly do enjoy my nature walks with my loving husband, as we talk about the LORD and giving HIM praise…..reciting scripture ….or just holding hands peacefully as we walk along our way. Knowing we serve a beautiful loving perfect GOD of all creation!

Genesis 2-5 5-19-19

 

Let the beauty of the land give you cheer as you enjoy it. Remember that GOD is sharing this with us to enjoy and be glad in it. Thank GOD for our beloved savior JESUS. For without JESUS we are all doomed to never seeing GOD. Accept JESUS as savior and repent! Read your Bible outside on days like this! for me I get an energy boost! Here are some good reading for you from this link,

Giving Praise to GOD first!

Psalms_10-17 5-12-19

Psalms
Chapter 150

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Good morning everyone, or be it the time of day you are reading this.

I do pray you will all have a blessed day!

As we are headed real soon to the middle of the year, June will be here before you know it. All the more to get even closer to our FATHER GOD in all that we do with a calm mind, heart and spirit. For being closer to GOD and feeling the love from GOD is like no other love you will ever have from any human that walks the face of the earth. Never. They are human and not perfect , for only GOD is. Therefore you will have a perfect and unconditional love from GOD. Yes, perfect!!!

No matter where yo maybe in our GODS creation, be it the earth on land and sea, or in the sky or atmosphere GOD is there! HE sees and knows all. This is so comforting to me. for there are many times when I have prayed and got my answer to my concerns. And I do feel that GOD answers us at all times, just that if we are looking for the answer that we want , we will look for it. And not see the correct answer we need from GOD.

Like if you want to buy an outfit and you are with your friend. You need to have the right clothes for a date or business meeting. You pick out something that is not quite right and you don’t see that but your friend does and lets you know. They will tell you lovingly like how a good friend will. You may not agree because it is not the answer you wanted to hear at all.

But then you will buy something better and more suitable for the occasion and find out that it worked just right and the end result of the date or meeting worked out very well.

I do feel that this is what our loving GOD will do for us each and every time. We just have to listen to the answers of the prayers we ask for. And accept the answer from our GOD to be the best for us.

 

Joshua_1-9 5-12-19

 

GOD has heard me and has seen the hurt I have gone through, and has saved me. When we go to the FATHER we will be able to trust in all GOD will do, for HIS ways are not our ways. When we read his word, we get the instruction and comfort that we need.

Look at the life King David lead even from when he was a small shepherd boy. He has faith, and was able to slay the giant Goliath with one sharp hit. He was a man after the LORD’s heart. He was not perfect. Like the rest of us humans. But you do see how much GOD loved King David. He slipped and got up with our GOD;s help from the mistake he made with Bathsheba.

We all need to put our GOD first, pray and read HIS loving word. The Bible is a guide tool for a good life. A blessed life. How to listen and follow GOD, and be saved through HIS son Jesus.

 

Joshua_1-8 5-12-19

 

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 

King James Version (KJV)

Galatians_3-13 5-12-19
I thank GOD for our JESUS every single day. For what our JESUS went through as a man here on earth is awesome beyond our human understanding.
Praise and glory be to GOD. Bless you FATHER GOD for all that you have done. Thank you!
May you all be blessed for the reading of GOD’S word and this blog. Please do pass it forward to others so that they may read it as well too. Pass it forward!
Peace!

The seeds we sow.

Genesis 1:11

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.” 

King James Version (KJV)

My lemon seed sprouted in an paper towel!

Good day everyone!

I hope you all will have a blessed day on this 1st Sunday in May. This is the time when those of us who are able to garden will have our plants ready to be put into the ground. Or will direct sow our seeds our seeds into the warm ground. I love it!

When I have a tiny seed in my hand like a broccoli seed for an example, I see how tiny it is from the seed packet in my hand. This little seed will produce food for my family. It fascinates me every time. I always remember that GOD has created this tiny seed!

How this seed grows into the adult plant is a total and complete miracle to me. And only our GOD could have made this so. GODS wisdom is way beyond our human understanding. No way could we humans know how to do this. All that it would take to create such a healthy delicious veggie!

Lemon seeds fascinate me as well. These will grow, but living up north they need to be warm all of the time. And if you don’t plant them in the ground, you can have them grow in a pot that can be brought inside during the colder climates. I have started mine in a paper towel.

Genesis chapter 1:12

12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 

 

For GOD to know what veggies some of us humans will like to eat too, for there are all kinds vegetables that our GOD created, there is some thing for everyone. So cool!

And we don’t know all of the veggies out there TO eat or that can serve as medicine too. We are blessed to have what we have, and to share with our brothers and sisters who do not have. As how some good hearted churches do with food pantries.

Seedling ready for it’s pot.

Seedling now in the soil, let’s see how big it will grow in side!

Life is too short not to want to see all of the wonderful things that GOD has created for us all. If we have the chance to enjoy the creations that GOD has made, we will get just a very small grain of what ALL our GOD can do! When we plant a seed into the ground to get food or enjoy a sweet smelling plant we are getting a small sample of GODS creations.

I feel GOD is sharing HIS love and joy for us in many ways and this is one of them. And as people who love GOD the FATHER and are followers of JESUS we need to spread this kind of joy the others. All of the good things positive things that GOD is sharing with us to encourage us to repent and do good. For if these wonderful things are dwelling here on a fallen earth, imagine how more wonderful it will be to live in heaven with GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS.

Only GOD can make a large tree taller than man grow from a tiny seed that will fit into the palm of the hand of mankind. Think about it. This seed which you can hold or even pit in your pocket that will fill your back yard with fruit and shade.

1 Corinthians Chapter 3

 

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building.



May all of you who plant for food get what you need and want. Many blessings and a excellent harvest. Share this blog with others and have a blessed day! Pass-it-forward.

1-Corinthians_15-58

Good morning , afternoon, and evening everyone!

You know how when you want to share the good news with everyone you meet in life about the LORD? Well I will say you do have to test the spirits 1st before you do so. But most often with a smile and being consistently pleasant people will and do listen. When my husband and I are going about our days we do this. Try to talk to people about the LORD.

We do have some good conversations every now and then, some people are stunned and do not know what to say when we begin to praise GOD for the things HE has done, or ask politely “how is your relationship with the LORD?”. You can tell the level of faith they will have , and if they want to talk they will. Up to them.

You will never know how you affect other people until you are leaving to move to a new location or what ever. And you could have had just small little talks, nothing to long. Smiling over things together you talked about. And then leaving them and saying “have a blessed day”. Wanting them to be safe at all times. Maybe have them understand what “blessed” means too.

For me when my office is being relocated, I was saying good bye to all of the people I knew outside of my department and office. I did not realize how many people I had said good morning to, or shared pleasant conversations with. All of them said something nice to me I didn’t expect, some took the time to come and say good bye because they knew I was leaving and did not know when we could catch up with each other.

I am about to cry right now, my eyes are watering up. Because they are all pleasant and good people too. Just when you think nothing of being kind and do NOT expect anything in return, GOD gives you this blessing! Awesome encouragement from GOD! Just awesome!

I will say that there are times when you may think that when you mention the LORD and the blessings HE has given you….you are very wrong. People do listen. When I was buying something in a store. And elderly woman was the cashier at the register. And we were having a conversation about the weather. Mentioning the LORD perked her right up.

I learned that some people may not have the opportunity to talk to anyone about the LORD and they want to, need it like a breath of fresh air. This is where and why people of faith need to stay together. There are people that need the encouragement from “the tribe of JESUS”

Philippians_4-13

(T.T.O.J). Let them know and bond with them by encouraging them, and letting them know they are not alone. Even in the walks through the lion dens of the secular world.

They have GOD!

They have JESUS!

They have faith!

They have fellowship with true believers in CHRIST! You will feel the bond that you do that goes beyond a bloodline family. This bond is true, and you can tell it when you meet a person. You will know if they are your sister or brother by what they say and what they don’t say.

I learn things every day that the LORD shows me. And what I have learned from leaving the old office and going to the new location was that people do listen. And will show you respect when they can see your light shine.

2-Samuel_22-33

GOD is good!

May you all have a blessed day, and share this blog post with others so they can read the scripture and get a blessing as well. Pass it forward!

Peace!

Every word of GOD is pure! Proverbs 30:5

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Proverbs_30-5

Proverbs chapter 30, verse 5

5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

 

Good morning everyone on this Psalm Sunday.

I do pray that you all will have a blessed day to give GOD the glory and praise. For GOD is so worthy to be praised with our every breath we take! AMEN! I do thank GOD for all that HE has done for me and for HIS beloved son JESUS!

When I see new people who come into my office, I see those who maybe quiet and keep to themselves, or those who seek out those who are like-minded. Being that when you are a Christian, you are given discernment as to test the spirit of people. This is what will help you trough the day as how to relate to others. We all who love and believe in GOD need to ask for discernment in regards to knowing the spirit of others and lean on it and not our own understandings. So all this is to say, we can only trust in GOD and HIS son JESUS!

GOD will not lie. HIS words to HIS children are right, pure and true. We can depend on what HE says. I know, for this is what I enjoy and live by as best as I humanly can. We all need help to get through the evil of the day by those people who do not listen to our HOLY FATHER GOD.

Pray for the wisdom and knowledge you will need for testing the spirits of people. Some people will have an outward appearance of a quiet and peaceful look, others will seem mean and unapproachable. And this can be the opposite for both, for the one with the mean look may not feel well and have a tummy ache as an example. The one who looks peaceful could have just stolen $100 dollars from someones wallet and feels content.  So to just judge a person on outward appearances and not the heart will not only not benefit them but it will not benefit you either,

Take people as individuals. Leave the judgement to the FATHER and creator of all heaven and earth. Life is less stressful when you do for you know GOD is in control.

You being a child of GOD will learn that you are going to go through some things that our saviour JESUS had gone through like being lied on and to, being used, hurt, set up to fail by our enemies , family who just dont see who you really are, and people who we thought were friends at one time and are really not. All because we choose to be close to GOD and have accepted JESUS as saviour and want to do what is right.

Proverbs 17:17

“A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” 

King James Version (KJV)

Numbers 23:19 (KJV)

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

King James Version (KJV)
Numbers+23_19
Knowing that GOD is pure and good, why believe in what any man or woman says to you and that includes me until you read the word of GOD.
Have your pen and paper with you when you go to church and write down the scripture you hear your pastor preach so you can read it and study it later. Take notes, for our souls are in jeopardy if we are not concerned enough to take notes and confirm what we have heard.

How God Can’t Lie

Numbers 23:19

“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Samuel 15:29

“Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind.”

Hebrews 6:18

so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

Psalm 89:35

“Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

 

Never forget, that those of us with loving intentions can say something we think is right and be wrong.  So when I give you scripture it from the King James Version of the Bible and you can read and study it for your self.
Trust in the LORD GOD. Accept JESUS as your savior. And then you will truly know what pure love, peace and joy is because it comes from them.
May you all have blessings from the reading and the sharing of the word. Pass it forward!
Peace!

Texting in the chapel.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
Picture from; https://www.nwcatholic.org/news/national/texting-in-church.html

Good day, afternoon, and evening to you all. I do hope that you all will have a blessed day no matter where you will be on GOD’s earth!

I want to share something with you all. I have a chapel in the building where I work. And on my break, I sometimes go there to get comfort from GOD or pray.

When going into the Chapel this day, two women I work with were in there….texting. it is their business what they do. But when your heart is not right it shows. See, some people who do not have a Bible will use there phone to look up scripture. But this was not the case here for it was very obvious as to what they were doing.

As soon as I came into the small chapel, they rolled their eyes looking at me and with an attitude left. The JESUS in me chased them out without me even saying one word! LOL!!!

I proceeded to get on my knees and did what I needed to do.

Coming back into the office, one complained to another one of her friends that I came into the Chapel. So that I would know exactly what she thought about me interrupting what she and her friend was doing.

I don’t care what she thought. I do care what GOD thinks about me, for it is HIS heaven I want to be in for all of eternity as how GOD sees fit.

They were not in the church because they love GOD. They were in there doing their own thing that had nothing to do with GOD and giving HIM worship.

The fact that when I came into the chapel, and they glared at me wasn’t right by GOD’s ways. These women do not share a loving Jesus heart.

We all need to step back and think about what we are doing in our lives.When we see a person we are angry with for no reason wanting to worship, in the chapel to seeking GOD and HIS divine comfort.

GOD so awesome and forgiving. If either of these people decided to repent and seek after GOD and HIS son JESUS , they would listen to the person.

GOD and JESUS would not have a cell phone in their hands distracting them from listening to their prayers or mine , or yours in need of help or comfort.

Share this blog post and let others get a blessing too from it and some peace. There are always similar situations in life we all share with those who are unsaved and do not want anything to do with GOD in heaven and all of us who do sincerely love HIM.
