I will bless the LORD at ALL times…

009texture_edited-1

I will bless the LORD at all times;
         His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;
         The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
         And let us exalt His name together.

Psalm 34:1-3

I have the flu.

Cough,

cough,

coughing.

Ache,

ache,

aching.

Even my thumbs ache.

My daughter says that baby granddaughter has it too

and is miserable.

We could use your prayers.

In the meanwhile,

at all times,

flu and all,

I will bless Him,

praise Him,

thank Him.

  8. Elizabeth, you and "Baby Granddaughter" are being prayed for and cared about. Praising God no matter what our circumstances makes a difference in the day. I am finding that out.

  13. I'm so sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Nothing better than hot tea, is there???!!!! I hope that by today, you are feeling somewhat better. Loved the Scriptures you posted today. They spoke to me. And the song that is playing in the background. . . I've never heard it before, and for some reason, the tears are flowing. I needed that today. Thank you for that. More than you will ever know!
