Sunday Praise: In The Presence of Angels (Holy, Holy)

Shavuot or Pentecost in the Old Testament, was celebrated as the Feast of Weeks or Day of the First Fruits. Seven weeks after Passover (Easter), this celebration marks the giving of the Law to Moses on Mt. Sinai. As Christians we celebrate Pentecost as Holy Spirit coming down upon the disciples gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem, empowering them to spread the Gospel, first in the Holy City and then around the world.

While Jesus was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 1:4-5

I choose this song today because it is such a powerful anointed song - In The Presence of Angels by Roy Fields carries the fire of Holy Spirit in it’s melody and lyrics. In an interview with Sid Roth, Fields explains how he heard the angels singing La da da,… which is extremely similar to what Eddie James also heard and shared in his song I Need You. We are told often in scripture how the angels cry or sing out holy, holy, holy and call on Abba, Father.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Revelations 4:8

This is a realm of Your glory
This is a realm of Your grace
I can feel Your mighty power
It is moving in this place

We’re in the presence of angels
With God’s glory on their wings
Like the voice of many waters
I can hear the angels sing

Holy, holy, holy, holy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy
Glory, glory, glory, glory

This is a realm of Your glory
This is a realm of Your grace
All my heart’s desire is to see Your face

Have a wonderful God-filled day :)

The Glory Source

Life upon this earth is so short. We are supernatural beings living for a limited time in a natural world. As time flies by I realize there is so much I want to do while on this earth but I’m limited in what I can do by money, my age, where I live, etc. That is why I have come to depend upon The Glory Source. God’s Glory can do all those things I want to do and more. I pray, I worship and I love Him and then I just let his Glory fall upon me. I send out my angels to do those things I can’t. God equips us in ways we can’t even imagine and we must rely upon him. God also at times creates glory encounters with people, many times unexpectedly. Holy Spirit loves to surprise me :)

Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory! Amen and Amen! Psalms 72:19

 

Grand angel enjoying on of God's adorable creatures

Grand angel enjoying one of God’s adorable zoo creatures

On Mother’s Day we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. It is the number one zoo in the entire world and it is huge. I am completely fascinated by God’s creatures, by everything He has created. I live in a state of childlike amazement.

I was watching the jellyfish and I wondered about this strange but beautiful and fascinating creature and I thought, these creatures are here for my enjoyment, just for me to gaze upon at this very moment in time. While I was pondering their beauty and taking photos my granddaughter looked up at me and asked, “Are there mermaids in Heaven?”

I answered a simple yes, because if God can create a jellyfish for me to enjoy upon this tiny earth how much more does he have for us in His Heaven? It is beyond comprehension. Then she asked, “Can I swim with them?” I answered, “I don’t know why not.” Then I thought, and I can swim with the jellyfish without fear of being stung! When I looked at my granddaughter I saw a smile of pure joy. I just held her tiny hand and smiled. Joy. Glory.

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him” I Corinthians 2:9

How awesome is that. I felt God’s Love and Glory surround our time in the zoo. On the way home my husband alternated being radio stations, listening to the Christian stations and some golden oldies. While I enjoy the oldies my heart always leaps for joy when I hear a song of praise, another Glory Source for all.

The Glory Source: God opens up His Heaven’s and the glory of His Kingdom falls to the earth. <——tweet this!

God’s Glory is all around us, in the breeze, swaying with the trees, in the song of a Chickadee, in the coo of my doves, in a warm hug… His Glory surrounds me, surrounds my being because He loves me.

And He loves You.

Lord I ask for and receive with thanks, Your grace, Your glory, Your wisdom, sufficient for this day.  Amen.

 

Have a wonderful day :)

A Song for Mothers “Guardian Angel” by Leah West

This is a song that is new to me, but I thought it was simply beautiful and perfect for Mother’s Day. I have two wonderful Mothers, my Mom, Ann and my Mom-in-law Dorothy. Both have taught me so much.

My Mom is a giver. it’s her love language. She’s a good woman with five children who love her. She works hard as a hospital chaplain, a job she enjoys but also can be difficult. She loves opera, dancing and messing around her in beautiful yard. She loves her family and they love her. Her biggest joy is having her children visit.

My Mother-in-law is the matriarch of a huge family. She has four children, 18 grandchildren and over 25 great-grand children who all love and adore her. When she was a little younger she and my Dad-in-law loved square dancing and had the most amazing family Christmas celebrations ever. She loves to read and visit with family.

I’d like to thank my Mom and Mother-in-law for their unconditional love and support. This song is for you! Enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

Mini Vacation Time :)

images-2I’m on a little vacation. Today I’m packing and tomorrow we’ll leave. Even the drive will be a joy. We’ll be visiting family in Nebraska. I’m pretty excited. My niece Stevie is graduating Saturday from High School with honors. She’s a gem. My youngest son Joey and youngest daughter Tara and her family are joining us. We’ll get to see some of my family and all my husbands siblings plus both our Mother’s for Mothers Day. Sunday my hubby has something special planned so I’ll be sure to let you know all about it.

I also think MyDearHubby and daughter Tara, who is in school full time, while also being an awesome wife and mother of my two grand-angels, need this vacation much more than I do.

imagesI’m blessed with a wonderful Mother and Mother-in-law. I have learned so much from both but the most important thing they have taught me is how to love unconditionally. I am so blessed to be a Mother - My children and grandangels are the greatest gifts I have ever received. I love this scripture:

My son, observe the commandment of your father and do not forsake the teaching of your mother; bind them continually on your heart; tie them around your neck. When you walk about, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk to you. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; and reproofs for discipline are the way of life. Proverbs 6:20-23

To all Moms – God Bless You and Thank You This Mother’s Day and everyday!

You all have a wonderful weekend :)
