The Day The Sun Didn't Shine

Read:
Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. —Psalm 103:2

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 64-66

We often take God's blessings for granted until they are taken from us. Then we recognize how important even the most common gifts of God really are.

There's a legend about a day the sun didn't rise. At 6:00 in the morning it was dark. At 7:00 it was still night. Noon came and it was like midnight. By 4:00 in the afternoon, people flocked to the churches to beg God for the sun.

The next morning, huge crowds gathered outdoors to face the eastern sky. When the first rays of sunlight pushed open the door of the morning, the people burst into cheers and praised God for the sun.

The psalmist knew he couldn't possibly remember all of God's benefits to him. He was distressed that he might forget them all, so he took his sluggish soul in hand, shook it, and urged it to consider at least some of the good gifts God gave to him.

Because God's goodness is as constant as the sun, we are in danger of forgetting what He showers on us each day. If we count our blessings one by one, we'll never get finished. But if we jot down a list of 10 or 20 gifts God gives us each day, something will happen to our hearts.

Let's try it and find out for ourselves. —Haddon Robinson

Every morning as we rise,
God's new mercies greet our eyes;
And when twilight shadows fall,
Evening blessings brighten all. —Anon.

If you want to be rich, count all the things you have that money can't buy.

Good morning dear Sistah.. my goodness you were up with the birdies (or late with owls?) to post this. But great job. I have a hard time (as you all know) with the associated graphics and yours are great. Outstanding job indeed !!!! and John's essay is as usual humorous. I had not read it when it "arrived" and so it is fresh now. Thanks to both of you.

I will be seeing Amy/Marissa today if all goes well. I understand you might see them again Sat before they leave. If I didn't have plans for Sat in Columbus, I would join you also.. Maybe it would work out.. might just see if I can juggle a few things around.

good morning to you all also (more early birds). The hot miserable days here in Ohio are now cooler, drier. The major storms did bring this one gift. Hope you are all doing well. It is funny how we are here at different times but are all together in the spirit of the threads content, friendship & sharing.

Some at this thread I have met & visualize. Others I have not met & without pix, I have a mental image.

Interesting how that works. Usually when I finally meet the person, the image was not too accurate.

Well, better get busy. lots on agenda for today

[The Mayor]

Morning Dolly, it cool here today too. Rained the majority of the day yesterday.
Your weather comes toward us so I can appreciate the cooler weather like you.

[DollyCali]

that is neat (did you do it ? or "find" it?)... I still can't do the head switching for pix... skill to achieve.

[DollyCali]

This about covers it

[Zacs Mom]

"(did you do it ? or "find" it?)"

that is is one of mine ~ I did it a few days ago when someone post a thread likened Rove and the cRATS with the Road Runner & Wily Coyote.

"I still can't do the head switching for pix... skill to achieve."

it takes some pactice figuring out how to move those little pixels just right ~ I've found the more I try it the easier it becomes.

Good morning all you Finest!

[Gabz]

Good morning.........my head is spinning.......LOL!!!

[dutchess]

What a great graphic! Now I know "who to call" when I'm doing an essay (IF you don't mind :o) ) Yours is PERFECT! Thanks for posting it!

[dutchess]

Good morning Gail. Hope all is well with you!

[dutchess]

Hi Rus. Great devotional again today. Hows the campaign going and when is the election???

[dutchess]

Good morning dear Sistah.. my goodness you were up with the birdies (or late with owls?) to post this.

Hi Dolly. Actually ran into some glitches and went to bed, then got up about 3:00 to finish up so I could go back to bed before work! (gosh that sounds like something Dolly would do :o) !)

Enjoy your visit with Amy and Marissa today. That would be great if you could join us in Columbus Sat!

[Gabz]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

[DollyCali]

got this in a morning golden tidbit..

"An army of sheep led by a lion
will defeat an army of lions led
by a sheep."
