~I am in the process of posting these musings as regular posts so they will fall under the title "Morning Musings" rather than being on a separate page. This will make each musing easier to find and share.
Not all the Musings are from the morning time that's why I put the word in quotes, more so it is a title; although often times my musings do come to me in the morning :-)
Morning Musing September 24, 2020
Something interesting to me:
This morning I had some thoughts going through my head as I lay upon a bed,
I thought about the King,
How He is the King,
He was the King.
And He will eternally be the King.
Then the Scripture came to mind,
"Who is the King of Glory?"
Forgetting all about these thoughts I went on with my morning...
Having the opportunity I seized it to go outside to a quiet place alone in the cool morning to be alone with God and His Word.
As I began to open the Bible I wondered what I should read. Then I thought It'd be nice to read the Psalm that corresponds with the day of the month
Psalm 24.
I was trying to remember what Psalm 24 was about and,
Lo & Behold it's about the King of Glory!!!
I was so encouraged by this... It is like one of those tokens of God's love for me, to comfort me that He isn't so far off...I believe He is speaking into my heart as I long for Him to do, as He has in other seasons of my life.
Sadly, I have gone through seasons of being overcome by the cares of this life and it is in those seasons I am distant from Him therefore I am not receiving the edification from His Spirit that I need.
But, when we draw nigh to Him, He draws nigh to us...
So I think those thoughts that went through my head this morning and then me choosing to seize the opportunity to spend time alone with Him as my focus instead of other things... He is drawing me closer to Him and reminding me that all it takes to hear more from Him is that intentional effort of coming to Him...
And when we come to Him and still feel far off, we must be determined and wait for Him in quietness... Don't give up but believe He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.
He is the best Prize we can ever get but we don't get the prize with ease... Just as those who run a race give it all their strength and determination so must we if we are to attain the prize of eternal life with the King of Glory.
Keep seeing the beauty, my friends. The beautiful works of God's hands are still visible in the darkest times. They are a token of His existence, of His power and might. Though evil and darkness is all around, beauty and light are not extinct. You may have to look harder to see any light or any beauty but it's there and we need not let the darkness overcome and consume our thoughts and feelings.
Stay focused on the glory and Majesty of a LOVING and beautiful Creator who made you for a glorious purpose, yet to be fully understood or revealed.
Light is Greater than darkness, beauty is Greater than ugly old sin... On Earth Darkness and sin are but for a moment; God and His GLORY WILL ENDURE WITHOUT END throughout eternity and those who keep their eyes on Him now, will shine in His presence now and forever.
Philippians 4:8 — Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

The story behind the Roses:
Some of you may feel of little worth because of how people treat you or because of difficult circumstances...
The Truth is, to God who made us we mean more than we know.
Have you ever heard the saying, "One man's trash, another man's treasure."?
If we keep believing, hoping, trusting, repenting when we need to, obeying, and seeking after God, He can redeem us as we did these beautiful roses that were tossed into the trash.
Look how brilliant and beautiful they are when they are put in life-giving water!!
No matter how bad of a situation we are in; feeling or looking like trash, God is able to see us as His Treasure and give us His glory when we hope in Him and obey Him like I mentioned.
Take courage and resist the devil who wants you hopeless, God gives each one of us the power to glorify Him and rise out of and above our deepest darkness.
He is the Great Redeemer waiting to redeem all those who surrender to Him 💕

Morning Musing September 13, 2020
After scrolling through FB this morning and seeing a crumb of the evil that God sees every day; I am so ready for this world to Burn completely and for the New Heaven and the New Earth to come where only Righteousness reigns. No more wicked people that abuse and hurt and kill for their selfish vile pleasure.
If you are slacking in your walk with God get right TODAY. This world is ripe for His righteous vengeance that in His mercy He has been holding back waiting for sinners to surrender to His Goodness.

My heart goes out to all the #disabled people who can not work hard or do much physically to help serve others ♥️♥️♥️ I know it isn't easy to sit by while others are working hard. But the good thing is that even those with disabilities can still serve others through the power of prayer. Really make a point to go to work in prayer, you don't have to feel useless... Prayers are needed and not everyone is doing their part in prayer... So you can make a big difference by earnestly praying for others.To all you capable folks, able-bodied, able minds, don't give place to laziness, you have been given a gift and it can be taken from you if you don't put your mind and body to work serving others and taking care of your own needs. Be not weary in well-doing...
I know working day and night can be exhausting, but it's still a blessing that you are able to.
So to the able and the disabled:
Philippians 4:4 — Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
My dad at 78 hasn't stopped working hard!! He's grinding stumps here.
Parents teach your children that life requires hard work don't pamper them. Teach them how to take care of their own needs at a young age: laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, changing a tire, chopping wood, sewing, etc...
Sadly this young generation is depending on older generations to clean up after them and it's a shame. They have little to no work ethic no drive to do the basics, like make their own food, wash their own dishes it's pathetic.

It's easy to forget all we need to do is ask our Father who is pleased to give us His goodness. Do you ever remember those little tokens He's shown you here and there over the years to let you know He sees, He cares, He hears, He knows and He's for you and not against you? Has it been a long time since you've experienced one of those moments? Do you long for another token of His special love for you? Have you realized all you have to do is ask?
"Dear Father, comfort me with a special token of your love. I know you do so much for me on a daily basis and you have given all for me, but you know how much it strengths me when you show me a token for good and I could really use one."
As mother's we provide for our children, food, shelter, clothes, these are daily blessings, but when we go out of our way to touch a special place in their heart, when we show them we are aware of something only they know, we know, that blesses them... And we make a point to "go out of our way" so to speak to do something extra special for them, what a bonding and joyful experience it brings them. And it's not grievous for us to do it for them; what a dispelling of doubtful thoughts regarding your care for them as well. Just like it's not grievous for our heavenly Father when we ask Him for a token of His unique love for us. This is a good reminder that we are not the only ones that need tokens of love...as we seek a token from God may we do our part to show our love to others who may need a token from us of our sincere love for them. We can get so caught up in the daily grind that we don't give the ones closest to us our undivided attention and the affections they need.
Psalm 86:17 — Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
His tokens help and comfort us, don't be afraid to ask for one, that the mouth of your very real enemy may be silenced and your soul strengthened.
Romans 8:31— What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
What endurance it works in us when we are assured that He is for us, and not against us as the enemy would have us believe. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Morning Musing 12/31/2019
This is the last day of 2019!I layed awake since early this morning musing...
Thinking about how Christ was a businessman passing through this world, busy about His Father's business.
What are we busy about? Have we not a Father in Heaven who has given us a work to do?
How many of us pray:
"Our Father who art in Heaven..."
If He is our Father let us be about His business.
Matthew 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
6:13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
There are things people need to be taught:
Matthew 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Especially these days when Good is being taught to be evil, and love is taught to be hatred.
There's a lot of work to do out here my friends.
Be strong for God who is worthy. He is the Creator, Miracle Worker, Saviour, The Only Just and True God who is LOVE ❤️
2 Timothy2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26. And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
