ABC’S of the Word – G

Pam explains the purpose of ABC’s of the Word:
"God gave me this idea to start stirring up the Word in each of us by going through the alphabet, one letter each Thursday. I just think it would be cool to see how many different scriptures are listed each week. Even if it doesn't start with the letter of the week, make it predominately about that word that corresponds with the letter of the week. Other than following along with each week's letter there are no rules. Join in when you can and be blessed. Don't worry about missing a week or joining at letter I---whatever, I will willingly add anyone's blog at any time. Let's be encouraged by His Truth!’

This week’s letter is G

"Great is the LORD,

and greatly to be praised

In the city of our God,

In His holy mountain."
Psalms 48:1 NKJV

God’s greatness is the theme of many texts in the Bible. Here is another from the Psalms:

"Great is the LORD,

and greatly to be praised;

And His greatness is unsearchable."

Psalms 145:3 NKJV

Hostess Thank You Surprise

This afternoon, a florist truck delivered a pleasant surprise for me -- a lovely bouquet and darling teddy bear.

The card said, “Thanks for being such a great hostess. We had lots of fun.” It was sent by my sister and brother-in-law who visited last weekend from Florida.

The floral arrangement is a mixture of various flowers from roses to sunflowers, plus greenery and berries as well.

This made a bright almost-spring day even more luminous.

Many, Many Thanks!

I very much appreciate all the encouraging comments I have received over the past few days. I have not been able to put much time into blogging matters lately due to taking care of my 89-year old Mother who is staying with me, while my sister and her husband are vacationing. She developed a severe cold with racking cough, and terrible wheezing.

Our prayers, cough medicine, antibiotics, and Vitamin C has taken effect and she is doing much better now.

It's great to have others take an interest in our concerns. Many, many thanks to each of you!

Many Thanks!
