What Has God Done








Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.    Psalms 107:21











Have you ever stopped and thought about everything the Lord had done?  

Wow!  

I think If I were going to list them all, 

It would take more time than I have, 

more ink than I could acquire 

and more space than I could imagine.  

If we started with the creation of the world, 

God was there speaking things into existence.  

As we read through the Bible, 

we see God at work in the Old Testament and the New Testament.  

He saved Noah from a devastating flood; 

He gave children to the childless.  

He provided salvation for us.  

But there are so many other wondrous deeds. 

In fact, God has done wondrous deeds in each of our lives.   

He leads us.  

He keeps us safe.    

He gives us breath.  

He gives us food, 

clothes and a place to stay.  

I thank God for the time he kept me from getting hit 

when I ran out in the road in front of a car.  

I thank God for getting me through school.  

Thank you, God, for the man and helper that you brought into my life.  

I was an outcast and labeled a loser by my others my own age, 

and yet miraculously, 

you brought the two of us together and wonder of wonders, 

you gave me four children.   

These are just a few of the wondrous deeds you have done in my life.  

There are many more, 

and I am thankful to my God, who performs such excellent works.  

The fantastic thing is 

that each of us has our own set of 

wonderous deeds that God has done.  

What has he done for you?  

Thank him.

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday.   She is ninety-five years young.  She recently moved into nursing home.  She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile.  She said the person told her about ten.   Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.”  Hahahaha! What a lady!  She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home.  As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.”  Wow!!! I need to live like that!  I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus.  She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break!  The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept.  As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor.  I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong.   That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him.  I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit.  If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink.  We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others.  As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
