By the Light of the Silvery Moon

The air is heavy with the fragrance of roses in our garden as we enjoy dinner by the rippling sound of water in the pool on a clear beautiful spring evening with our dear friends Pastor Larry and Caren Hickey visiting from Winchester Virginia. His peace and beauty surrounds us as we share His goodness while He lights up the sky with the awesome sight of a full moon.

With open hearts we share our needs of direction in the ministries that God has entrusted to us and the full moon was like a confirmation to me of the following scripture.

Isaiah 42:16 I will lead them in paths that they have not known:

I will make darkness light before them,

and crooked things straight.

These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

 

Investing The Gift of Time in a Friendship

Thank you to my dear friend Minnie Wimmer for the gift of your time today, chatting, encouraging one and other, fellowshipping , and playing together even if it is just sharing the weeding in my garden. LOL

Invest time in a friendship today that you have been neglecting and do not take the gift of that friendship for granted. Someone needs your time today!

Proverbs 13:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly

Freedom is Not Free!

It was an honor for John and I both to serve in the Royal Air Force. On this Memorial Day as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice may we all appreciate the freedom we enjoy today that cost so many so much.

 

A Window To My Soul.

thumb_IMG_5312_1024

Surrounded by two of my great loves, my flowers and my puppies, was a window to my soul today. I considered if the Lord could create these beautiful fragrant flowers how much more is the beauty and fragrance of their Creator! While my Westie and Scottie who bring such joy to my life especially the way they love me so unconditionally, remind me of the unconditional love of the Lord which never ceases.

Look around you today for a window to your soul to bring a fresh appreciation of “often taken for granted” gifts from the Hand of God which will bring you such joy and happiness. What can you have a fresh appreciation for today?

Overcoming Discouragement.

Romans 8:37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

I was falling into discouragement as the devil left his calling card a few weeks ago when my website was hacked with all my previous three years of teaching of the Word and encouragement to others being wiped out. Determined not to submit to the hacker we’ve prayed and worked to have  all the previous devotional blogs and videos restored, but the subscribers file was deleted when it was hacked.

It would encourage me so much if all my subscribers would please take the time to subscribe again to my website margaretmearnsbass.com to freely receive my daily manna devotions, weekly blogs and videos. Let us persevere together that we may have the victory over the enemy’s scheme. Thank you all so much for supporting my ministry in this way. God bless you and remember to walk with the King and be a blessing!
