365 times in The Bible, God tells us not to fear.
That’s one command for every day of the year!
We overcome fear by having faith that God is with us
and that He will see us through
whatever is causing us to worry and be afraid.

Fear not,
for I [God] am with you…
Isaiah 41:10
Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
Psalm 56:3

I haven’t gotten to post for a while or visit your other blogs very much lately.
Hope all my bloggin’ friends are doing well.
I know some of you have been extra busy with personal and family matters.
I’ve been thinking about you!
Take care, y’all!

For those uneventful times when we’re sitting at home,
wishing for a more exciting life:
…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Philippians 4:11b
…And for the times we’re out and about,
overwhelmed by the circumstances whirling around us
and wishing for the refuge of home:
God will protect you as you come and go
now and forever.
Psalm 121:8
I hope your life is a combination of
quiet times at home and exciting adventures;
perhaps, in this way, we learn to appreciate both!

My inspiration for this post comes from the hammock in our back yard.
You probably see it from time to time in some of my other pictures.
Our hammock always beckons me to come and relax in its comfort for a few minutes.
Most of the time, I don’t have the time to stretch out and enjoy it –
but just looking at it reminds me that I need to slow down and take in the blessings of the day.
To me, it’s a little symbol of “the good life” and
a reminder for “taking it easy” when we have the chance…
…and, you know, most every time I spend a few minutes in this relaxing spot
I notice something special and beautiful in the out-of-doors
that really makes my day –
and I come away refreshed!
It has been said that
one day we’ll look back and realize that
THESE were the “good ole days”!
I hope you and I are making the most of them!!
If you don’t have a hammock,
I hope you have a porch or balcony or a comfy spot inside your home
where you can “sit a spell” and feast your eyes on something “refreshingly” beautiful!

HIBISCUS
…scanning the gray sky for a sunbeam.
Even in stormy weather it looks up,
seeming intuitively aware that the sun is still there!
When we’re in the midst of stormy times in life,
let us remember that God still reigns –
and let us look upward and seek His face!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
For as the waters fill the sea,
the earth will be filled with an awareness
of the glory of the Lord.
Habakkuk 2:14 NLT

Do you, or does someone you know, feel abandoned and hopeless right now?
Is there anyone reading this blog who feels your life might as well be over?
Well, it may be the end of a chapter of your life…
but it’s not the end of the story.
I believe that God writes the end of the story — for you, for me, for all mankind!

Whether you are struggling with your own salvation
or are trying to help someone else to find their way,
I would like to commend to you three websites that I have found very helpful:
THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS
+
KNOW MY STORY
+
GET UP WITH GOD
I hope these links will be as helpful to you as they are to me.
I refer to them often –
and I subscribe to the “Get Up With God” updates every day.
“GUWG” is on Facebook and other social networking services
and they have a great smartphone app!

Good fences make good neighbors.
Robert Frost
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters.
But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature.
Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
For the whole law can be summed up in this one command:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:13-14 NLT
The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor.
Hubert H. Humphrey

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
–Bill and Gloria Gaither
