SUNRISE--SUNSET!

Thank you Lord for keeping me from being plagued by persistent problems, especially ones of fear and varying medical conditions of both self and hubby! May I praise you regardless!

A praise song kept coming to mind yesterday!

"10,000 Reasons" a praise song I first heard in Kompass Park, Ukraine on my 2012 mission trip there.

I looked east out the kitchen window @1/16/2026--7:32 am.....

"… The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again."

Thank you Lord for a "beautiful reminder" tp start my day.

Creator God did not stop there! His hand was clearly shown out eastern window of our great room at sunset @ 1/16/2026--5:52 pm...

"Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes"

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! (Psalm 113:3)

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name (emphasis mine)

From sunrise to sunset!!

SUNRISE SUNDAY TO SERENE SABBATH!!

What a begining to my day! 

A bIg thanks to Cathy G. for sharing.

She probably saw it yesterday from her mountain ridge over looking Fontana Lake! But I saw the pic as I started my Sabbath!

A SERENE SABBATH BEGINNING!

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." (Isaiah 60:1)

Believers, lets awaken to God's call and reflect His light and Presence every step of the way to today!

More to come....probably tomorrow as we're headed to church and I won't be online after, if I want an extended serene Sabbath!

It's all about the........

For "most" women "it's all about the shoes." Designer Shoe Warehouse makes sure we know, "Shoes Say a Lot About You - Say Something Great." In line with my lone pair of Skechers I was welcomed as the "next shoe lover" in line, though all the ladies behind me with their teetering stacks of 6+ shoe boxes, fit the bill better than I. 
Shoes. So many styles. So many specifications. Athletic---running, racquetball, golf. Dress--stilettos, pumps, flats. Casual---wedges, flip-flops, boots. 
OK, so I don't "do shoes"---I "do comfort" and most styles, especially new ones, are beyond me. Regardless, shoes are "all about" an individual's choice. Some more important than others.
"Dance" shoes are important choices, especially in the "dance" of life. Some shoes are better left in the closet. 
Today's choices....

• ballet---white silky slippers of grace 
• tap shoes---black patent capezios of impatience
• zumba gray laceups---for pounding out frustrations
• walkers---with pink laces for pounding God's truth into my head to keep me spiritually "in the pink"

....which will I choose? Actually, before noon today, I had tried on all of these and had to make myself throw a pair deep into the back of my "cluttered" life closet. (I like neighbor Lynda's reminder, "gallimaufry--an exhuberant hodgepdoge." (CA 5/10/15)

The dances may change and the shoe wear may vary..... but our "Partner" is steadfast, unchanging, eternal.  (Lamentations 3: 22-23, Jehovah the Eternal One) Because....it's NOT all about the shoes, it's all about Him!
