To Be...Singing Hallelujah

-
Cutest puppy face!
November 17-18

If you know me well at all, you know I love the word "Hallelujah!"  My favorite family video is of one of our granddaughters floating in the bathtub singing "hallelujah" over and over again.  When I hear of an amazing answer to prayer I've been known to break into my "hallelujah dance."

Accidentally, while searching for another song I came upon this video.  It is totally worldly and has nothing to do with Jesus, but it's a fun hallelujah theme from the world's perspective.

While this next song, "Hallelujah" doesn't carry a Christ centered message, although it has Biblical references, it is about loves gone sour. The way the music moves is mesmerizing. This Pentatonix version is masterful.  I'm able to listen to this song, "Hallelujah" and imagine singing it regularly in heaven.

"After this, I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, 'Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.'" Revelation 19:1

How often has our love and adoration for the Lord gone stale? Hallelujah, we are redeemed and can approach the throne again!

The word hallelujah means "Praise the Lord!"

Check out what GotQuestions.com has to say about this word:

"So great is the rejoicing by God's people at the wedding feast of the Bridegroom (Christ) and the bride (the church) that hallelujah is the only word grand enough to express it.  Handel's version of the great chorus in heaven, a glorious as that music is, is only a feeble foreshadowing of the magnificence that will be expressed by the heavenly chorus as we sing, "Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigns!"

Thankful Thought
Thank You for being a God who is so easy to praise and for all the reasons we have to say, "Hallelujah!"

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
