Hello Sweet Friends,

A quick note to let you all know I am fine. I have had a bit of a health issue and need to rest. Many of you have messaged and emailed…thank you so very very much for your concern and prayers. This little hiccup is just requiring more rest than I had planned!! 😉

My hope was to be back today. I have rested today and hope to be back filming tomorrow.

I have posted many pictures of the gardens and things we have been doing in the last couple of months. Please feel free to go take a peek. https://www.instagram.com/josephinesdesigns/  God is so good!! 🙂

God has a plan and I am so thankful for all who have been so kind and helpful during these days!! We are as I say many times in my videos…”La Familia”. And all of your kind words and encouragements again let me know how true that is for our little YouTube channel family.

Please be safe and take good care of yourselves.

Keep serving the Lord well….hugs and prayers,

k 🙂

Today’s Encouragement: Treasure in Your Trials • Dr. Tony Evans

sunset-hands-love-woman.jpg

Hi Dear  Friends,

It is Palm Sunday.

A day that is different than any other Palm Sunday in my life.

A day full of stress and irritation is how it started here.

A day that I can choose to give in or move on…even though those around me at times are frustrating beyond all words. And yes, I can too be that person.

Who do I trust? God and God alone.

He is perfect and He is the answer in a time of not many answers.

How do you feel this day?

Who do you have your hope in?

Who do you trust?

May I encourage you as I seek the Lord to encourage me…

Matthew 6:33 King James Version (KJV)

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Dr. Evans encouragement: Jeremiah 29:11

Jeremiah 29:11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11 For I know the plans that I [a]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

Let us focus on the Lord as his world right now has given us less than hope….my hope is in the Lord!!!

Hope according to Dr. Evans: expectation about the future….

Jesus is my hope and my hope alone. Let us keep seeking Him…focus on Him and trust Him in our futures…our hope.

Be safe Sweet Friends, keep serving Him well!!

Love, prayers and hugs,

k

sunset-hands-love-woman.jpg

Hello Dear Friends,

Please keep your faith!!!

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for uswho is against us?
If our God is with (for) us, who can be against us. Romans 8:31

Please let us join our hearts together in prayer for our fellow men, women and children!

Let us pray for all leadership on every level…world, country, state, county/providence and city/town.

Let us pray for all on the front lines…Drs, nurses, specialists, research scientists, manufactures of equipment, all service people: military, police, ambulance, fire, etc.

We serve a Mighty Savior.

Please Lord heal our people!!! Our hope is in You and You alone!!!

When sheltered in….we can pray Dear Friends!!

Let us lift our voices in prayer to a mighty God!!!!

Be safe, shelter in and keep serving Jesus well…He loves you so well!!!

Love, hugs and prayers,

k

Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

Deuteronomy 7:9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Deuteronomy 6:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:10-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

Psalm 33:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will behold His face.

Psalm 11:7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

For the Lord loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever,

Psalm 37:28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

For whom the Lord loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But He loves one who pursues righteousness.

Proverbs 15:9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

A friend loves at all times,

Proverbs 17:17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may [a]be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Therefore [b]you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

 

Matthew 5:43-48 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

“In Your lovingkindness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation.

Exodus 15:13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Promises of God ] “Then it shall come about, because you listen to these judgments and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you His covenant and His lovingkindness which He swore to your forefathers.

Deuteronomy 7:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

Deuteronomy 30:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

He is a tower of deliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his descendants forever.”

2 Samuel 22:51 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Solomon’s Prayer ] Then Solomon said, “You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.  

1 Kings 3:6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

1 Chronicles 16:34 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.

Proverbs 19:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
