Celebrating Six Decades in the Land of the Living

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, save me!”

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
Psalm 116: 1-9, 12-14* 

This is my testimony. This is my heart.

I am eternally grateful.

    Nancy,

    I love the beautiful bouquet of pansies on your blog of sixty years in the land of the living.
    They remind me of some pansies poking through snow I saw while walking with my friend a few years ago.
    The pansies had survived the winter and were welcoming a new season – in all their glory.
    Reminds of someone else I know.
    Happy Birthday!

      Isn’t that an exquisite bouquet? Pansies are my long-time favorite. Thank you for the beautiful birthday wishes, especially in relation to the pansies you saw poking up through the snow. A new year begun and new decade to unfold ‘in the land of the living.’ I am blessed. And you are one of my blessings from the Lord, Donna. Thank you, friend.

Hello! I’m Nancy Bentz

Nancy Bentz

I’m fascinated with God’s design of our lives. Each one unique and prepackaged with potential. Each person created with distinctive redemptive gifts our Father intended to be expressed. He has given good gifts to all. That’s why I am dedicated to sharing, teaching, and delighting in the growth and spiritual development of who we are designed to be ~ spirit, soul, and body.
