Yesterday, my sister and I tackled a box of family archives. What a blessing it was. I rediscovered pictures, mementos, and hundreds of pages of my mother’s writing. What’s next for these trophies? Not sure yet. Shall I add them to my website at www.bettyjackson.net so others can share them too? But today I’m sharing this plenty in 2020 from Ephesians 1:18 to bless your day and mine: “I pray that your hearts will…..

This verse brings me to praise God every time I read it. “What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since God did not spare even His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, won’t God, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else?”  Romams 8:31-32. Talk about Sharing the Plenty in 2020!

This is My Psalm 151. May it bless your day and…..

Sharing the plenty in 2020 is greatly rewarding. My sister Ellen is visiting from Ohio, and she and I prepared meals for two people in my life yesterday, and we enjoyed doing so. It was a blessing to us and to two families with health concerns. Read my blog today at www.bettyjackson.net to hear more. God bless your day! Then, this morning, my daily verse confirmed that commitment, in a way. Here’s what it says: “I will praise You, Lord,…..

“And because you Gentiles have become His children, God has sent the Spirit of His son into your hearts, and now you can call God your dear Father. And since you are His child, evcerything He has belongs to you.” (Galatians 4:6)  Yesterday my sister, Ellen, who is visiting from Ohio, shared with me our genealogy, which she has been working on for years. This is what it looks like on my father’s side:

Prince Johias Whitaker 1042-1066 Hastings Sussix England…..

Sharing the plenty in 2020 is easy after the wonderful day yesterday. Exodus 15:2 says, “The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my victory. He is my God, and I will praise Him; He is my father’s God, and I will exalt Him!” Yesterday started with the spotting of our deer from two years ago revisiting our yard. We didn’t see her last year, so imagine our joy when first thing yesterday she was in our…..

Sharing the Plenty in Twenty-Twenty

January always brings a sense of excitement to me. It’s literally like starting over, thinking fresh thoughts, beginning new projects, refreshing my prayer life and my spiritual growth, and updating things around the home. Following the Christmas season, it’s good to put away all its paraphernalia. I just can’t wait to put away my precious nativities, now close to one-hundred sets, change the paintings on the wall, clean the corners, and start over.

We live…..

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.” Proverbs 17:22. or put another way, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” In this new year, let us nourish an attitude of gratitude and service. Share your plenty in twenty-twenty. It will make this world a better place, one smile at a time. Have a blessed day.

Today the children where I live go back to school after…..

Share Your Plenty in Twenty-Twenty

It seems to me that one way we can improve out world is to look outward, get out of the way, stop the entitlement game we too often play, and think creatively about how we can improve our world.
