One day, we walked around Brixham harbor. It was chilly and windy. The seagulls provided a nice soundtrack. After our walk, we sat down at the lovely Old Market House and had coffee and juice.

      I am not drinking caffeine right now, so I ordered juice. I like how they named the brand J2O.

“It shall come to pass in that day
That I will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.

 

The earth shall answer
With grain,
With new wine,
And with oil;
They shall answer Jezreel.
 


Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth,
And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
Then I will say to those who were not My people,
‘You are My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’”


Hosea 2:21-23 

Christmas day was clear in the morning, but in the late afternoon it poured with rain. We had a wonderful time with our relatives at Bovey Castle having a special five course lunch that my Uncle arranged. We left the warmth of a crackling fire inside the castle and ran in the rain to the cars. 

I had just read these verses in Hosea on December 24. Instead of being ungrateful for the rain and the inconvenience of getting wet, the Lord reminded me of this verse. When the Lord answers us it is always a blessing. Even if He does not answer the way we would like. 
I am still learning this!  

I hope you all had special times and made memories with your families over Christmas time.

Treasures from Proverbs and Psalms

"How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!" -Proverbs 16:16 Psalm 90 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.   1  Lord, You have been our dwelling place   in all generations.   2  Before the mountains were brought forth,          Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,          Even from everlasting to everlasting, You  are  God.           3  You turn man to destruction,          And say, “Return, O children of men.”   4   For a thousand years in Your sight           Are  like yesterday when it is past,          And  like  a watch in the night.   5  You carry them away  like  a flood;   ...

“The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.”    ~ Adrian Rogers “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.”     ~ D.
