I have been singing this song all day. I think, sometimes, God brings it to my mind, so I don't forget just how broken and scared and confused I was when I finally accepted Him as my personal Savior. I had grown up 'knowing about God' and doing Bible lessons as a child, going to Sunday School, Children Bible Clubs (CEF) etc. I had even made professions a couple times and was baptized a couple times. BUT, in 1975 when I finally truly accepted Jesus as my own personal Savior for forgiveness of my sin, I have never regretted that decision!

(NOTE - this was not written by me - I make NO claims to it.)

Something Beautiful,Something Good

Something beautiful, something good
All my confusion He understood
All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife
But he made something beautiful of my life

If there ever were dreams
That were lofty and noble
They were my dreams at the start
And hope for life's best were the hopes
That I harbor down deep in my heart
But my dreams turned to ashes
And my castles all crumbled, my fortune turned to loss
So I wrapped it all in the rags of life
And laid it at the cross.

Praising the Lord

Below is today's devotional from Days of Praise by:

Praising the Lord: “Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.” (Psalm 146:1)

Each of the last five psalms (146–150) begins and ends with “Praise ye the LORD”—i.e., “Hallelujah.” They comprise a sort of “Hallelujah Chorus”: a grand epilogue to the five books that make up the complete book of Psalms. 
Each of these five books also ends in a doxology. Note:
Book 1: “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 41:13).

That is all they would let me post, so I guess one needs to go to their link to finish reading it.
I read it this morning and decided to read each of the last 5 Psalms per each week day of the week during this month during the 'shelter in place' issued by our governor. Being this is a 30 day month, I am not reading Proverbs and felt a little 'lost'.
I finished reading the Gospels, so now I am reading Revelation, since Steve and I are listening to a set of CDs a friend loaned us by David Jeremiah explaining the book of Revelation.

God bless you and stay safe! Love and Prayers from Belinda.

I haven't done a post for a while. We are in strange times in our world right now. And I have a hard time thinking it will ever be the same. This COVID 19 time is strange. It gets a person to thinking. This is a very unusual time in our life. We are 68 years old and have not seen anything like this. We had doctors’ appointments to have blood work done Wed, Mar 16. We then went to the grocery store for a few items. At church that night there were about 15 of us and we decided to cancel church until things get better. Wow, I never thought I would say that. Keeping busy cleaning and doing odd jobs that need to be done, hoping we don’t get sick. I placed my first grocery order online and went to pick it up. I hope I did everything right. We didn't get it all and it took a long time and they got it wrong and had to redo it and it took a long time. And the delivery person didn't obey the 6 ft rule and I backed up and I hope she didn't give me anything. 
Now we are home for the duration! 
Our doctor even did our follow up visits after our blood work, at home over the phone! That was a blessing because we did not want to go to the office. He asked up if we would be interested in doing video conferencing as time went on and we said yes!

 On my computer I have uploaded my personal CDs I have about 1500 Christian songs. I like to listen to them at random. I have instrumentals, southern gospel, jazz, hymns, modern praise songs (yes, I like some of them), & children's songs. I have mostly English, but also a few in Spanish, German and Hawaiian. This morning I made cookies and played the songs on my Rove speaker. Sometimes, I was praying for people during this time. Sometimes I was praising God from whom all blessing flow. Sometimes, I was signing the songs in Sign language. I even danced a little jig / exercised to a couple of the toe tapping ones. I had a good time praising God and just being alone with Him away from media for a couple hours. And at the end, I had cookies for treats for the next couple weeks while we are under 'shelter in place’ which starts tonight. Though Steve and I have been trying to do that for a couple weeks.

Well, that is my post for now. God bless each one of you and take care of you and yours!

John 3: 16 -17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
