People Go Out to Their Work

Then people go out to their work, to their labor until evening. — Psalm 104:23

God gives us work.

He sends us out to work each day.

We work until evening, when we join our family for dinner.

Kirk has done lots of cooking lately.

My job has been very hectic, and I've been working long hours.

At the end of June, I will return to work in the office.

For now I am working at home with Kirk.

I will probably start to go in one day a week until the end of the month.

God calls us to rest on the seventh day, just as He did.

So we worship as a family on Sunday.

We watch our service together on Facebook.

I often walk around the neighborhood with a friend or two, keeping a safe distance and wearing our masks.

In the evening, Abby and I walk around the neighborhood again.

God has blessed us.

The Beauty of Holiness

He appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever. — 2 Chronicles 20:21

On Sunday I made whole wheat cinnamon craisin bread.

Our neighbors brought us lemons and lemon poppy seed cake from their son's birthday celebration.

We enjoyed both.

Who doesn't love bread drizzled with a sugar glaze and flavored with cinnamon, cranberries and raisins?

God has blessed us with thoughtful neighbors who support us when we need it most.

Praise the Lord!

His mercy endures forever.

Go Out in Joy

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. — Isaiah 55:12

Every morning we go out in joy.

The mountains burst forth into song.

The trees clap their hands.

The oceans rejoice.

Even the rocks cry out.

Creation cannot be silenced.

God is on His throne.

We are led forth in peace.

Thank You, Lord!

Declare God's Praises

That you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. —
1 Peter 2:9

God has called us out of darkness into the light of His glory.

He has called us to be one with Him through His Son, Jesus.

We can declare His praise for leading us out of the darkness.

And for leading us into His wonderful light.
