His Lovingkindness is Everlasting

-internet
*

"Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.

Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations."

Standing on Level Ground

-Scotland FB
*
Psalms 26

Vindicate me, Lord, for I have walked in my integrity,

And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.


Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test;

Refine my mind and my heart.


For Your goodness is before my eyes,

And I have walked in Your truth.


I do not sit with deceitful people,

Nor will I go with pretenders.


I hate the assembly of evildoers,

And I will not sit with the wicked.


I will wash my hands in innocence,

And I will go around Your altar, Lord,

That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving

And declare all Your wonders.

Lord, I love the dwelling of Your house,

And the place where Your glory remains.


Do not take my soul away along with sinners,

Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

In whose hands is a wicked scheme,

And whose right hand is full of bribes.


But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.


My foot stands on level ground;

In the congregations I will bless the Lord."

The Lord sustains all who fall
and raises up all who are bowed down.

Psalm 145 


I will extol You, my God, O King,

And I will bless Your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You,

And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
 
Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,

And His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall praise Your works to another,

And shall declare Your mighty acts.

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty

And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.

Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts,

And I will tell of Your greatness.

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness

And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.

The Lord is gracious and merciful;

Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.

The Lord is good to all,

And His mercies are over all His works.

All Your works shall give thanks to You, 
O Lord,
And Your godly ones shall bless You.

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom

And talk of Your power;

To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts

And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
 
The Lord sustains all who fall

And raises up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all look to You,

And You give them their food in due time.

You open Your hand

And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways

And kind in all His deeds.

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,

To all who call upon Him in truth.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;

He will also hear their cry and will save them.

The Lord keeps all who love Him,

But all the wicked He will destroy.
 
My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

We Rest Our Hope in You


O God of mercy, God of light,

in love and mercy infinite,

teach us, as ever in your sight,

to live our lives in you.


You sent your Son to die for all,

that our lost world might hear your call;

oh, hear us lest we stray and fall!

We rest our hope in you.


Teach us the lesson Jesus taught:

to feel for those his blood has bought,

that ev'ry deed and word and thought

may work a work for you.


For all are kindred, both far and wide,

since Jesus Christ for all has died;

grant us the will, and grace provide,

to love them all in you.


In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,

may we each other's burdens share;

may we, where help is needed, there

give help as though to you.


And may your Holy Spirit move

all those who live to live in love,

till you receive in heav'n above

all those who live in you.

-G. Thring

Precious Memories and Zillions of Batches

My Mother's fantastic peanut butter cookie recipe! 

It is probably your mother's recipe also! :o)


This is my recent batch. I make them about a teaspoon full.

My mother would make them BIG, because by the time I remember them, she had two big teenage sons who could eat a lot, thus, BIG COOKIES.

I now make these peanut butter cookies as well as all my other fantastic cookie recipes from my mother to mostly give away. Lots of "thumbs up" and "crummy" smiles!

It is amazing how just a cookie can give practically everyone a lift!

Glory to the LORD!

Glorify the LORD! No time to match socks!

Colossians 3:23-24

..."Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. 

It is the Lord Christ whom you serve."...


..."Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved." 



,,,"Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."...
