Chronological Bible Reading
Isaiah 24 - 29
“In the middle of all this prophecy — the upheaval, the warnings, the weight of Isaiah’s words — this verse caught me and lifted me. It reminded me that no matter what shifts around me, God’s character does not. His plans are steady. His counsels are ancient and trustworthy. And right there, I felt my heart rise in praise.”
It stayed with me as read, it was as if the Lord reached into all that heaviness and whispered, “Look at Me. I have always been faithful.”
Praise to God
Isaiah 25:1
O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
For You have done wonderful things;
Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

I like this from Catherine Pulsifer:
August is the bridge that connects the laughter of summer with the golden dreams of autumn.
Tomorrow is our quarterly lunch with the girls and their hubbies. I always look forward to this fun day, Peggy and Hank will be our host.
Until Next Time
Gosh, Mary, I loved this post from start to finish! Love the little school bus and the word "August" spelled out with Scrabble letters! So fun! Love the little yellow truck too. And I love your diamond art picture of the classy looking dog with his hot cup of coffee! Your August Calendar with the bird is beautiful too! I love your quotes from Isaiah, and also from Catherine Pulsifer! Good way to look at August! I see it as a transitional month too. I can't wait for fall!!! How wonderful that there was that Worship Night at the beach near you! That sounds really wonderful! And I truly love that you will have a quarterly lunch with the family at your daughter's home. I know it will be special!! Our extended family meets at a restaurant in August to celebrate so many August birthdays and Anniversaries. Our family isn't as large as yours however. I'm sure trying to meet at a restaurant would be hard for your big family! No matter where we meet, it's just good to get together with those we love and care for! I loved this post and wish we lived closer! Have a wonderful week!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer too!! That would be so wonderful. A mug of coffee for me, a cup of tea for thee. Oh what fun that would be!!!
DeleteDear Mary, I love your diamond art, your calendar, the picture of Peggy and Hank and the school bus. The chicken made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sassy looing diamond art pup project!! So cute!! The prayer meeting sounds wonderful. I'm sorry you couldn't attend this one. Hopefully they will have another that you will feel comfortable going to. Lots of back-to-school shopping going on! Exciting! How fun to be able to look forward to the family lunch gatherings!! Have a blessed week ahead, Mary! Sending a hug! xo
ReplyDeleteCute diamond art picture. Glad the prayer meeting went well. We could sure use more prayers!! Enjoy the lunch tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI like the Bible verse and also the quote about August being a bridge between summer and autumn!! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteVery nice diamond art and I like those words from Catherine Pulsifer.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Oh girl, I may have laughed out loud at that chicken meme!
ReplyDeleteThat Sylvan Beach prayer evening sounds so good. Perhaps when the weather cools there will be a larger turn-out. (Cross fingers!) These days I'm praying our central A/C keeps keeping on!
That worship night sounds great! This is the last week the kids are off before school starts. I hope you are enjoying your week!
ReplyDeleteLoved this whole post and all your pictures and memes.
ReplyDeleteThe diamond art you just completed is a very fun masterpiece.
Worship on the beach sounds awesome. Too bad it can't be livestreamed for those who can't be there in person.
