Psalm 103

Take time today to read Psalm 103. But, since I now most of you won’t, let me list some of the things this Psalm says God does for you.

1. Pardons all your iniquities.

2. Heals all your diseases

3. Redeems your life from the pit.

4. Crowns you with loving kindness and compassion.

5. Satisfies your years with good things.

6. Performs righteous deeds and judgments.

7. Is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving-kindness.

8. He will not always strive with us or keep His anger forever.

9. Does not deal with us according to our sins, or reward us according to our iniquities.

10. Removes our transgressions from us.

11. Has compassion on us like a father, on those who fear Him.

12. His loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting.

13. His righteousness is to children’s children who keep his covenant.

Ahh, now doesn’t that make you feel special!?

Thought for the week: "Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have."

Funny for the week: Cooking for Tom

It's fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.

Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper.

A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly, but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any.

Today Tom asked for salad. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.

I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.

Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I don't have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason Tom keeps counting to ten.

Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast, but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.

GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week! I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with a chocolate moose.
