Happy April 15th! To a tax chic like me, this is a very important day! (And even though we technically get until Monday, April 18th this year, I am done and everything is filed, so I'm disregarding the extended date and celebrating the end of the deadline today!)
Also with the 15th comes my next Bible verse to memorize. To tell you truthfully, we had such an EXCITING and WONDERFUL first half of April (more of that to come!), and I have been saying this verse over and over again (I put it on a sticky note in my travelling purse Bible), so I figured I'd continue on throughout the rest of the month and the glorious celebration of Easter!
"Rejoice in the Lord always.
I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near."
--Philippians 4:4-5
Praise the LORD! It is HE "who gives us richly all things to enjoy" (1 Timothy 6:17 NKJV). Thank You, Father God!!! :0) Praise Your holy name!!!
Happy April everyone! What a BEAUTIFUL springtime we are having...yay!
And with the new month, it's time for a new look to the blog...in honor of my wonderful Daddy's April birthday! I love you, Dad!!! :0)
And while the design is so perfect for my fisherman Daddy, it is also for the month and celebration of Easter; this background reminds me of Jesus calling us all to be fishers of men...Jesus calling Simon Peter and Andrew from their boats as His first disciples...Jesus calming the waves and walking on water...and one of my favorite church songs, "Lord, When You Came to the Seashore". :0)
It's also time for our next Memory Bible Verse. I am so wonderfully blessed by God in so many ways. Praise You, Father! So for this first half of April and as we continue our Lenten journey celebrating God's GREATEST blessing in Jesus' sacrifice for us, I have chosen a verse of praise...
"I will praise You, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High."
--Psalm 9:1-2
And here's a few more verses too (because I just can't seem to decide). Praise You, God!!! <3
