"Forget not all His benefits."-Psalm 103:2
    
    It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe His goodness in delivering them, His mercy in pardoning them, and His faithfulness in keeping His covenant with them. But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of His goodness and of His truth, as much a proof of His faithfulness and veracity, as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought all His mighty acts, and showed Himself strong for those in the early time, but doth not perform wonders or lay bare His arm for the saints who are now upon the earth. Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may discover some happy incidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God. Have you had no deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by the divine presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have you had no manifestations? Have you had no choice favours? The God who gave Solomon the desire of his heart, hath He never listened to you and answered your requests? That God of lavish bounty of whom David sang, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things," hath He never satiated you with fatness? Have you never been made to lie down in green pastures? Have you never been led by the still waters? Surely the goodness of God has been the same to us as to the saints of old. Let us, then, weave His mercies into a song. Let us take the pure gold of thankfulness, and the jewels of praise and make them into another crown for the head of Jesus. Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as exhilarating as came from David's harp, while we praise the Lord whose mercy endureth for ever.

Name that Beep



Have you ever noticed that all of today's modern technology beeps? It is so crazy anymore you have to know exactly what the beep means.
For instance:

Right now my dryer is running when it shuts off I will here a long several seconds beep. Bingo I better go get my clothes out of the dryer before they wrinkle. Since the dryer is in the basement if I'm not setting right at the basement door many times this deep does unnoticed.

Then there is the microwave, years ago it would just beep three times when the cycle was over. Now days, every time you push a button there is a beep.

OK OK the answering machine beeps if you use it to field your phone calls. You know what to do at the beep.

About two years ago my hubby got me a new stove/oven guess what it is digital. It too beeps with every push 0f the button and if you don't get it right it will beep to let you know that too. My daughter thought oh how cool. We refer to it as the oven is talking to us. I'm good at getting it to beep because I'm never telling it the right thing to do. Then when the oven is warmed up to temperature it will beep just once. And the timer that you set to remind you to check your cooking guess what. It beeps until you shut it off.

Back in july I got a new coffee maker for my birthday. Guess what???? Yep, when it is done with its brewing cycle it gives about five quick beeps. Now we are starting to get a little carried away.

I also received a waffle iron here in the last few months. Funny thing-It beeps whenever it is warmed up and after the waffle is done. It sounds just like the Alarm clock which I failed to mention my first beep of the day; everyday. Ok. Ok I think I need to add ear plugs to my daily attire. You have to really know what the beeps these days mean and listen because you may miss them.

Don't fail to mention. The smoke detectors in the house. Now you have to hunt down which one is beeping because it needs a new battery.

Beep, Beep - time to change activities.
I need a reminder to take a break from the computer.
