for Monday, November 17……….
Outside my window….. a light snow has fallen, 32degrees ((Brrrrr))
I am thinking….. that God is good (all the time)..even when we don’t understand
I am thankful for…. my family and friends
From the kitchen….. Can you guess? Yep!! Oatmeal with raisins and lime water
I am wearing…. dark blue sweats, a light blue sweatshirt, black socks, black clogs, black jacket
I am creating….I’m working on a gift Shhhh (It’s a secret)
I am going…. to continue to look for a job (and try to sell a scrolling sign)
I am reading….in Ezekiel and James
I am praying….that God will show me His will
I am hearing….a train approaching from a distance
Around the shoppe….I need to work on my paperwork (taxes- from shoppe in New Mexico)
One of my favorite things….to get together with (all) my family
A few plans for the rest of the week… get a new registration for the car (and driver’s license), pay the bills, find a job (so I can pay the bills), whatever else God has for me to do
A picture thought I am sharing….here is a new picture of the driveway that had those pretty trees.
Can you see the light covering of snow?

You can see the snow much better on my car….

John 14:2,3
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself,
that where I am, there ye may be also
Mansion over the Hilltop
I’m satisfied with just a cottage below,
A little silver and a little gold;
But in that city where the ransomed will shine,
I want a gold one that’s silver-lined.
Chorus
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wander,
But walk the streets that are purest gold.
Tho’ often tempted, tormented and tested
And, like the prophet, my pillow a stone,
And tho’ I find here no permanent dwelling,
I know He’ll give me a mansion my own.
Chorus
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wander,
But walk the streets that are purest gold.
Don’t think me poor or deserted or lonely,
I’m not discouraged, I’m heaven bound;
I’m just a pilgrim in search of a city,
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown.
Chorus
Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3. He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither,
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Blessings,

Jesus Hold My Hand
As I travel through this pilgrim land,
There is a friend who walks with me.
Leads me safely through the sinking sand,
It is the Christ of Calvary.
This would be my prayer, Dear Lord, each day,
To help me do the best I can.
For I need Thy Light to guide me day and night,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
(Chorus) Jesus, hold my hand,
For, I need Thee every hour.
Through this pilgrim land,
Protect me by Thy power.
Hear my feeble plea,
O Lord, look down on me.
When I kneel in prayer,
I hope to meet you there.
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Let me travel in the light divine,
That I may see the blessed way.
Keep me that I may be wholly, Thine,
And sing redemption’s song some day.
I will be a soldier brave and true,
And ever firmly take a stand.
As I onward go, and daily meet the foe,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Chorus
Proverbs 18:24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother .
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Luke 10:18-19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Rev 2:25-26 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations —
Thank You Lord, for the promises in Your Word.
Blessings,

Here I Am To Worship
Light of the World You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of life spent with You
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely,
altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me
King of all days, oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above,
humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor
I’ll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross.
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world . He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Psalm 95:6-7
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
7 For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand
Revelation 17:14
…..for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
Oh Lord, let us never forget all that You have done for us. Help us to show Your light to those
who do not know You, and always be ready to give a reason for the hope that we have.
Blessings,
judi

I am going… to a new job interview
I am reading… in Jeremiah and Titus….going to start a book from Jacque…Adam and his kin…

James 4: 8 Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you
Draw me Close
Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I’m Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
‘Cause nothing else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You
You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know You are near
Dear Jesus, You are all I need
Blessings,
Judi

A few plans for the rest of the week….Stay in the Word and follow God’s plan ……
A picture thought I am sharing….. a couple of weeks ago, I moved from New Mexico (after 23 years) back to Indiana. Since I had accumulated so much stuff, it was difficult for my son, David, to figure out where to put everything. He did a great job!!! Thanks Dave….
