You drove out the pagan nations by your power
    and gave all the land to our ancestors.
You crushed their enemies
    and set our ancestors free.
They did not conquer the land with their swords;
    it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.
It was your right hand and strong arm
    and the blinding light from your face that helped them,
    for you loved them. Psalm 44:2,3

In these verses who does the victory come from?

I am here to share my world with all of you once again! Share Your World is a weekly challenge hosted by Cee of Cee’s photography. In the challenge she asks five weekly questions and as we answer those questions we share our worlds.

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK AND MY ANSWERS

Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?

I do push that button more than once and then I push the door closed button for good measure. I have never thought of myself as an impatient person. This question has me reevaluating that .

Do you plan out things usually or do you do them more spontaneous (for example if you are visiting a big city you don’t know?)

My whole life is scheduled but when I go away I slow down the scheduling significantly. I am a boring vacationer preferring to rest and maybe do one special thing a day planned around scheduled naps.

Describe yourself in at least four uplifting words.

Solid, Contented, Listener, Focused.

If you had a choice which would be your preference salt water beaches, fresh water lakes, ocean cruise, hot tub, ski resort or desert?

Optional Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

I am grateful I had my daughter’s help shoveling the snow yesterday.

I have such good kids!

This next week I am looking forward to the start of Spring…by faith.

Morning Direction From Scripture 3-14-17

wp-image-1078118197jpg.jpg

Send out your light and your truth;
    let them guide me.
Let them lead me to your holy mountain,
    to the place where you live.
There I will go to the altar of God,
    to God—the source of all my joy.
I will praise you with my harp,
    O God, my God!

Do you have a harp real or figurative? How do you use it to praise God?
