The Greatest Mathematical Exercise In The Universe...

I don't want to just merely exist.

I want to live aware and alive, and on purpose.

I want to learn and create something special daily.

Our days are a holy gift.

I want the light of my ordinary days filled with joy;

And every day miracles...

~And this is how we do it~

Slow down, Love your life!  "Because it's a gift"

Rest on a Holy Rest "He has made provisions"

Create something, "Even if it's just a peaceful atmosphere"

If you are a fighter, "Then Fight for Joy"

I realized that counting my blessings

Is the greatest mathematical exercise in the universe!

A thankful heart adds purpose and clarity to your day!

Time is speeding up, so to counteract this we slow down;

And savor the moments and seasons!

I will not be robbed of the precious moments,

I am given each day!

Use your gifts every day!

If we do not encourage others, they will slowly wilt.

(Like a plant that is not given a drink)

~I want to be someone who has a teachable spirit~

I want the Lord to look at this daughter and say,

I think I will give her another portion of chocolate cake,

Because she enjoyed that first slice I gave her so much!

If you will take what He has given you,

And use it to bless or encourage others.

He will give you more...

Especially if we give it away or share it!

A story:

 I remembered one time many years ago, when I went with a friend we had a special day planned, we were going shopping together. Back in the day, this was a big deal! We headed out and what an impact the trip was for me. Spiritually and learning a lesson!

So we traveled for a Shopping day in a different city. As she was wanting to spend some birthday money, her Father had sent her for her Birthday. And she was wanting to buy some art products, because she is an artist. And as we were having tea and scones in a little tea shop. (Her Treat for me) She pulled out some money and handed it to me, and I said what's this for? And she said it's no fun shopping together if you don't have part of the special gift I was given. I want to share my Birthday blessings with you!

So, I guess the moral of this story is this.

It touched me so profoundly!

Be A Giver, In your time, your money, your talents, your joys! Because it's a gift to be used and enjoyed!

My Quote:

An eye for an eye will leave the

Whole world blind!

There Are Only Two Tracks, Beware Of Your Surroundings...

Past, Present And Future...

The Narrow Way

And The Road That leads To Destruction

Have you ever had this feeling;

 You were headed down the wrong path?

Or you found yourself in the wrong place;

In a very wrong timing?

Every single day we are up against the responsibility

To be accountable of where and when we are in any

Given situation...

It's not like I'm real big on intuition,

But, if you have even just once known that you knew,

You were not in a good place or situation!

We hopefully have all heard the phrase in these last

Few years is this one...

"Have your head on a swivel"

Look around people

There are a few bad apples out there

They are just lurking around looking for maybe

Who or What they can steal, kill or defile?

Hey, remember I'm the positive and encourage other Blogger,

Kinda gal!!

But, I would not be a good friend if I did not tell you

Or warn you of this undercurrent that is spilling over!

It's like a floodgate has opened and lawlessness as was

Given the okay to just flood every city and town.

Look around, they are watching you out of the corner of their eye.

I use to feel safe and go anywhere by myself,

Well, NO MORE

My Grandma back in the day would say,

Those Hoolagins are up to No GOOD!

I know with all my heart that we must make good choices!

What and Where we go and the things we do;

If you make yourself vulnerable, remember this;

All have a consequence!

For yourself and others!

So what this post is trying to convey to you all is this!

Be aware of your surroundings;

Be loving and kind, But not stupid...

These Hooligans usually work in a pack.

One is watching, one is scoping, one is trying to 

Get your attention!

Never park next to a Van!!!!!!

If there is a flyer on your windshield on your window

Do Not Touch It

If there is writing on your car, Beware they have targeted you!

If there are two people in a car parked by yours, Beware,

They may be trying to grab your purse or steal your car!

If they have a gas can and ask for help, Beware!

Just saying: Because I've had all these happen.

Then when something happens, we hear I never saw this coming!

Well, I have had the unfortunate experience 

In the Past of being a target...

So at the Present time in my life, I will be wise!

"Be mindful of who is around you!"

So in the Future, You can protect yourself and

Your loved ones by having the inner alarm fined tuned!

Behold, I send you out as sheep

In the midst of wolves.

Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

But beware of men.

Matthew 10:16

The whole world is a mission field.

Share when you can

Use wisdom

So stay on the right track

Going in the right direction

And in the right timing...

Run, turn around, never put yourself in a position

Of being harmed in any way!!

A gentle Warning To You All...

~I Care About Your Safety~

Always, Roxy

The Touch Of Beauty

The Touch Of Beauty

What I perceive this to look like,

It is the very things you may have done yesterday;

And the very things you can still do today!

This beauty resides in the earnest words you spoke

To someone who sorely needed encouragement.

The new vision you sparked in someone's heart!

This Is A Touch Of Beauty

Share those ideas and words that create and inspire!

There is a heavenly plan for each of us;

But when you can come along and leave a lovely

Thought or a vision of inspiration.

"It becomes like a burning star to guide or give light,

To the very thing another person is to be doing."

Helping one another in this journey.

To leave a friend or a stranger with an inspired idea,

Is a bit like a heavenly dew.

Refreshed and full of life once again.

Remember there is nothing new under the sun 

Scripture tells us, so we are all in this together.

So many have lost so much and when the spark becomes

But a cold dark ember, we must add some kindling,

Help fan the flame of someone's dream.

Some of these ideas were never meant for you;

But to share with another to help them do

The very thing you may see in your mind's eye.

Some ideas are for you alone, but mostly

These plans our placed within us before we are even born!

But yes we are our brother's keeper!

Help them to plod on

Share your light and see another prosper,

To finally be able to write that story, paint that picture.

To make a part of this world to be more beautiful.

And filled with...

~The Touch Of Beauty~

Best Wishes For A Blessed And Beautiful Life

Hold The Fort...

 

~Be Faithful~

"Faith Honors God"

God Honors Faith...

True Faith produces people who are stable;

They look to God for Wisdom!

Knowing He will respond!

"Everything we do must be done by Faith"

Ask the Lord to protect your mind;

In these days as in the days of Noah,

We can see so many who are unstable,

They fly off the handle. Road rage is common.

They cry be tolerant of my bizarre looks and character.

The stranger the better they try to stand out!

Express yourself...

Humble yourselves before the Lord,

And He will lift you up!

James 4:10

True Elevation

It seems like things heat up in every arena,

But please don't be a Hot Head!

Watch and Listen

Cool Down

Just Breathe

Be stable and not double minded!

Worry Kills, but confidence in God is like

A healing balm...

"Trials do not make us what we are;

They reveal what we are!"

Greeting to all of my friends,

We are friends in a unique and different way.

Because most of us have never met!

But there is a bright future just down the road a spell.

So, Hold the Fort For He is Coming Again...

Here is a little photo of the 4 Jumpers

I have made so far!

I did the pleats on three of them, because the gathering

Made me Look Fluffy (SMILE)

I just want to encourage each of you to slow down;

Try to be mindful of the birds singing, 

Take pleasure in whatever you set your hand too!

And Don't Forget To:

Leave A Sparkle Wherever you Go

Hugs, Roxy

It May Be Time To Pull Back And Listen...

Sometimes We Just Need to Be Shielded

From the Onslaught of Busy...

Be Still And Know That I Am God

~ Enjoy the little things in life.

But one day you'll look back and realize

They were the Big Things~

I absolutely love this quiet season!

Some seasons are so busy you can't hear yourself think!

It's not that I want to hear myself think;

But rather hear the Lord directing my thoughts.

When you are not able to focus and you sense

a fever of the dreaded squirrel disorder!

It is time to pull back and re-adjust.

When the voices become a blur and you can't distinguish,

What is truly being said, you must slow down and be

Quick to listen...

I remember as a young girl being able to run everywhere!

After all, I had a pair of those PF Flyer Tennis Shoes.

But, I mostly just go at a steady pace.

Not quick or too slow

But moving in the right direction.

My calender is not so full of having to be here or there!

If I have the strength to do more on any given day;

I will just fly by the seat of my pants;

(Or Jumper)

God is always doing something new in our hearts

~If we will let Him~

When, I make a mistake when I am writing in my journal,

I will just pick out a pretty sticker and cover it up!

Don't make the mistake of not taking the time

To notice the little things in your day.

And if you do make a mistake ask God to forgive you!

And put a pretty sticker over the blunder!

The Word Says Love Covers a multitude of sins...

Happy Quiet Days

Much Love and Appreciation For Each

And Every One Of You...

Hugs, Roxy

Being Self-Taught Can Be A Hard Thing, But A Good Thing...

Self- Taught in just about everything!

I am going to make this pattern in a mock first using

A nice cotton muslin fabric first!

Before I start cutting out the pattern on the pretty

fabric I purchased for this Laura Ashley pattern!

I've had this sewing machine forever,

Nothing fancy but it's strong and reliable!

Being self-taught is a bit of a challenge!

I think we have stopped handing down many things

To the next generation!

Over the years I have told myself, you can do this!

Now, grant you I may be in the category 

"Jack of all trades and master of none"

But it has not stopped me from trying and learning!

I bought a beautiful piano and I'm still trying to teach myself.

I have had two different teachers that both lasted maybe a month.

I've taken watercolor painting classes in person and online.

I have been doing some sewing again after 30 years;

Sewing up some cotton jumpers!

The patterns might as well be written in Japanese!

Even the pictures are confusing?!#

But, the point I am trying to make is this;

We can learn new things without an instructor or teacher!

Mind you it would be nice to have some help.

But, in reality no one has time anymore.

One thing we have are helpful videos on the internet!

We can order books to teach ourselves!

Never stop short of learning a new skill;

Or advancing to a new level!

And remember it is so good for our brains too

Learn new skills and to follow directions.

I was not born with natural abilities in sewing or painting

But I didn't let it stop me from trying...

And we can help someone else to just try to learn

A new hobby or craft!

Share what you have learned!

I have this memory of my Mother teaching herself;

Of many things knitting, sewing, canning!

But while she was still here, I failed to learn from her

As much as I should have.

May we always be teachable of the things of the Lord.

But yet not afraid to dig deep into His Word all by ourselves.

Never stop creating beauty in your heart and your home!

Oh, I forgot to mention the one crafty thing that I have just

Had a ball doing, and it's called "Junk Journaling"

It's so much fun and relaxing!

I need to do a little post on this craft very soon!

What is a craft or project you have learned or taught yourself??

Blessings, Roxy

Making And Keeping Good Friends...

 

~Making and Keeping Friends~

Now, this can be harder than you might think.

Because if you have been alive long enough to experience;

True friendship it is a treasure!

I have been gifted with some true blue friends!

" It is worth while to make friends if they are worthy"

Now, what does that even mean?

Have you ever even thought about

What makes a good friend?

Is this something we even talk about?!

Do we even try to teach others about being a good friend?

In grade school, you might remember being treated as a friend

And the next day you've not even talked to by that group of girls.

I remember being crushed by their cruelty.

Even as a grown woman, I have experienced the rejection

from someone I thought was my friend.

That is why we must look to the true standards of friendship.

Firstly, we must extend Grace...

And realize friendships require love and time.

And a friendship should not be one sided.

What I mean is that you have to always initiate it!

That becomes exhausting!

As wives, and mothers, we must keep our energy 

for our families!

So, we must wise in who we allow into our lives.

True friendships will build you up, and encourage you!

True friends do not quickly judge you.

Because they know your heart and motive;

They consider that you may be going through a trial.

And in this world you may be falsely accused,

But be of good courage...

Christ asked us to give our lives for those friendships.

That is why we only need those friendships 

That God has put in your lives!

I once prayed for God to remove all the friendships

I had that were not from Him...

And a few just were gone (POOF)

No friendship should be formed

Which is not beautiful enough for Heaven!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And do not quickly desire a close relationship with

Someone we have just met.

Beware of those who are very needy.

Remember to be a good friend takes strength and energy.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

To have a good friend you must be a good friend!

But really I have seen a shift in people not being able

to attend to those relationships anymore.

And that is okay also.

So maybe we just must take better care

 of the few you may have left!

So we should hang tightly those

Friendships that were a treasure given to us!

Do not let them go!!!

I also want to extend condolences to those that have lost

A precious friend...

Much Love and Grace to All My Precious Friends...

Hugs, Roxy

Are Your a Wild Bear Or a Pooh Bear?

Are you wild at Heart?

I bet many of you are!

But, I must say the wild and yearning in my life;

Is much tamer as the years have come and gone in my life.

I prefer a comfy place to tend to my thoughts and ambitions.

I read about great adventures and daring feats.

But I feel safe in my world of predictable.

I'm not talking about the unexpected things in life that

no matter who or where we are will to be affected by!

But, I do not take risks that are unnecessary anymore!

Driving in rain storms and climbing high up into the mountains.

I prefer the tranquil country road!

I feel like Winnie the Pooh

I want my honeypot and to get out of the blustery day!

But, I am still young at heart!

I sometimes look into the mirror and wonder

 Who that old lady is??

But alas it is me older and wiser

 And filled with a deep down contentment mostly.

The unrest comes when I read or watch those things,

That try to show me there is something better or more for me!

I want to see more of this amazing world.

But traveling anymore seems like so much work.

So I will just have to live adventerous in my own backyard!

This day and your life is made up of living fully

One at a time...

This is me now!

Live and enjoy this day!!

Find comfort in those small cozy places;

in your heart and your home!

Blessings, Roxy

Giving Thanks Before Eating Our Meals...

 

God's Provisions...

Jesus took the Loaves and gave thanks for them.

One memory that I remember growing up was saying Grace.

We must not ever waste his bounties.

I have read this saying;

"Loaves unblessed are loaves unmultiplied."

If Jesus did this before partaking of food

or serving it to others. I do think with all my heart

this is a wonderful to thank God for his provisions.

So, we should make a habit and pause and thank God.

Before eating our meals. Even if it's just yourself sitting

down for a quick lunch or a feast with friends.

Many times if we are with unbelievers we have to do this

Quietly and yet unapologetically!

If we will give thanks and eat in faith, we will

Always enjoy what we have been given to sustain our bodies.

~Make some fresh bread and break it and give thanks~

Oh, but don't forget the butter!!

Saying Grace is a bit like this;

We are saved by GRACE...

Do You Say Grace?

We bless God when we do!

As always: Living From Glory To Glory

It's just some days are harder then others...

 Hugs, Roxy

RECOGNITION IN HEAVEN

 

Recognition In Heaven

I have been thinking about this lately.

Maybe because it's almost Mothers Day;

Or because a very special friend passed away.

Or remembering all those that have gone before me.

My time has not come...

I can think of so many family members and friends!

They have left this earth.

My hope and prayer is that they have gone on to Heaven!

Heaven to me is my Heavenly Home that has been 

Prepared in advance for my Homecoming.

I can't even imagine not knowing each and every person that,

I ever knew in my lifetime will recognize me and I them!

I will be with all those my life had ever touched.

It could even be a seed or prayer that entwined our paths.

I miss those that have gone before me.

It's amazing to think that God made me a Heavenly Home;

And Christ paid the price for me to have an eternal Home;

And so many will be there to know me and recognize me!

Our true family...

All our relationships bound together through Christ

Will be deepened and enriched...

Will I see You There?

Much Love and Blessings Roxy

Spring Cleaning And A Pleasant Atmosphere...

~Managing Your Home~

Today I am reminded that I am the keeper of my Home,

And the very fact it is now Springtime here.

I need to do something everyday to get things freshened up.

There is one thing about housework you never fully catch up,

But maybe by just a few days.

As we are supposed to live in our homes and enjoy them.

But my thought in this process is this;

May we find joy and feel blessed and even a filling up

in our hearts to have a home and to want to create a haven.

Our Homes should reflect peace and tranquility

(Most of the time)

May I be the a caretaker and a good steward of all

He has given me!!

Work while it is yet day!

Set your hand to a task, and take pleasure in the process.

May our Homes be filled with comfort and peace.

A pleasant atmosphere is worth much...

May, I just say that it is the woman that can help

Keep the atmosphere pleasant.

Remember the saying,

  "If Momma ain't happy, nobody is"

I believe God has entrusted us to keep order in our Homes.

And to create beauty and color and intentional 

"Welcoming touches"

Ask the Lord for help in setting your Home in order!

And for the strength to do the work and to be

Grateful in the process...

My Tips:

1.Do something every day to clean out and organize.

2.Take your time and look for things to change out,

Or to get rid of or to replace with something else.

3.Make each room or area functional yet cozy!

Look, being a Homemaker is a worthy calling,

It brings great joy to everyone.

Chaos and clutter and dirty homes are not glorifying to God!

Now, I did not say perfect!!!

I can tell when I walk into anyone's Home,

Whether it is loved and cared for!

Is your Home a Happy Home??

Much Love to All!!

I am in the process of Spring Cleaning my Home

Pray for me as we get older everything takes longer;

And seems harder to do.

That's why little by little will accomplish much"

On the Old Homesteads it was a major thing to clean the

Home from top to bottom in the Spring...

Hugs, Roxy

A Life Need Not To Be Great To Be Beautiful...

 

A life need not to be great to be beautiful.

There is as much beauty in a tiny flower

As in the majestic mountains, I look out upon

Each and every morning!

Is the sunrise more beautiful than the

Grandeur of a heavenly painted sunset?

A beautiful life is one who fills its mission

in this world, and does what it was created to do!

I must remind myself that in this day alone, that even

The smallest act of any commonplace work I may do.

Will be considered great in God's eyes.

What we all can do today and everyday are

These very things that we all need to have.

As we walk these dusty roads in our travels.

Even Jesus said we need to wash the feet of others!

We all need compassion, human kindness.

We all need fellowship and friendly cheer!

Are you blessed with a rich friendship?

You have been given a companion to travel

Your dusty road in this life.

The Hearts Daily Bread

Our hearts hunger for daily bread

These are the things we need:

Gentleness

Affection

Comfort

Inspiration

Hope

Strength

Every Soul needs these to have a beautiful life!

~May you be the one to brighten someone's life today~

Hugs and Hope

Always, Roxy

Living From Glory To Glory

Good Friday...

 

GOOD FRIDAY

A Very Solemn And Serious Day

If there was ever a day where we might really,

Stop and reflect and have a sacred sense of what

Christ willingly did for the human race.

Do we even know how to be serious anymore?

Can we just look into the heart of the only

Savior we will ever be given and realize what He came

to do for YOU...

Jesus gave up his life, h

He laid it down!

So I might walk and run and not grow weary.

For the heaviness of sin will crush you!

But He has rescued us and delivered us from the

Dark domain of sin and it's stronghold.

"Humble yourselves before the Lord,

and he will lift you up."

James 4:10

It is because of my sin He was crucified!

Jesus gave up his life to pay the penalty

of the sin of the whole world.

" But this is personal:

He paid the debt for my sin! "

The enemy wants to take our strength

He wants to make us unable to walk or run!

So I pray for the strength and ability

For each of us to be able to walk and run and finish our race!

Remember God Brings sweetness out of bitterness,

 And gives beauty for ashes.

Wait: Jesus said " I am God"

And I have the power of resurrection and of life

In My Hand...

John 11:25

Blessings and Strength

~Because He has taken the sting out of death~

Your Very Own Treasure Chest...

 

~Spiritual Treasure Chest~

We have been given the status of a Royal,

We have been given garments of Praise,

Our worth is far above Rubies,

Godly wisdom cannot be purchased with gold,

Or crystal equal to it.

We await the pearl of great price

" The Kingdom of Heaven "

We are even cautioned to not share our pearls;

To those that our unappreciative or disresprful

should not be given spiritual knowledge.

Our refining process is alike to the refining

of Gold and Silver!

We are treasures in earthen vessels,

And our hearts are being transformed.

Have you ever said to someone that they have

A Heart of Gold?

Remember God owns all the Silver and Gold!

May God be your cornerstone;

And your Rock of ages!

Your value just keeps going up;

As you are refined and your heart is transformed!

You are worth more than costly jewels dear ones.

He has great rewards for you one day!

He gave it all that you might become rich!

May the Scriptures become your most

Precious Possestion...

Always, Living From Glory To Glory

Kaleidoscope Vision...

 

~Seeing Life Through a Kaleidoscope~

Our daily lives are a bit like a Kaleidoscope.

It may seem like each day is much the same,

But actually it will be arranged differently,

From the variations of color and proportion!

The same but different...

Maybe we need to pull out our own Kaleidoscope

 And get a different perspective!

We need to find the wonder and beauty in the ordinary!

Each day something is different,

So we get to look at the same thing,

But with a new pair of eyes...

Those that have eyes to see!

Things in this word can seem overwhelming;

But if we will just remember everyone will see things

Differently, and respond not as we would.

The world will use smoke and mirrors to try to hide

What is really going on!

But God will use His Eye

(Or Kaleidoscope)

And He Will Use the Light of His word

Creating and Producing Patterns.

He wants to change our perspective!

Using the mirror of our eyes

~The eye is the lamp to the body. You draw light into

your body through your eyes, and light shines

out to the world through your eyes~

Matthew 6:22

The Kaleidoscope was invented by 

Sir David Brewster in about 1816

Optical beauty using mirrors and light!

May we see Gods Glory

In His creation and in our ordinary days!

Blessings, Roxy

 

You Are Blessed To Be A Blessing...

~Blessed to be a Blessing~

You have a great abundance of something this very day.

Sometimes we may not even be aware of it.

But it is there, because we are being filled daily.

This blessing or abundance is not always a monetary item.

This Blessing you have may have been

 A hard earned sorrow or trouble.

Which is worth much when carried to the Lord.

If we never had the dark night season, we would have

never been aware of all the stars in the sky!

Let me remind you why God blesses us;

So we can be a blessing to others.

He wants us to take that word or smile or prayer,

And use it to open the heavenly angel acts we can do.

Because, God wants to use YOU

We know as scripture says we are his hands and feet!

Every talent we use is multiplied!

If we do not give a portion of what he has given us,

We will become selfish, fat and proud.

There is nothing you have that has not been given,

To you by the Lord...

We are like a basket of plenty, flowing over!

If you give it will be pressed down and shaken together;

And running over.

It's what you have in your heart and at times in your hand.

Give out your best for the Lord!

Give what you can!

We are in this world to be useful...

All of our gifts are given to us to be a blessing,

To others!!

This applies to our family, friends, and even a stranger!

Do not hoard your blessings!

Release them in thoughtful words and deeds!

Trust me these things he asks us to do can be;

The smallest act of baking cookies to share.

Giving money or a life praying for others.

Send a Card, Send a Text, 

Meet a need...

Let us not fail in being a messenger of

His good and perfect gifts!

Sending a Big Hug...

We all need those hugs and encouragement!

Please feel free to add any of my Blog Post

 to your social media platforms!

Actually, I really would appreciate it.

I do not have any myself, so thank -you!

Always, Roxy @ Living From Glory To Glory

The Afterwards...

 

Not until afterwards, will you see it.

We all know hindsight is 20/20

But really it is God working in your life

Every single moment, hour and day in your life span.

In the divine providence of Gods plan;

(I love that word Providence)

In your life, nothing happens in a moment too soon or late.

What comfort and peace we can have if we will just

rest in His timing and know the hourglass is flowing.

Everything comes in it's own time...

God's clock is like the Grandfather clock that stands

in the hallway of time.

On the hour and the half-hour it lets you know;

Time is going around and around,

Every tick-tock fits into the space of God's providence!

~We do not see the providence until afterwards~

Not until afterward, will see that all the disappointments,

the hardships the loses and the infirmities and struggles.

Are all part of God's plan or providence for your life.

Especially those that have hurt you,

 sorrows that about crushed you.

These are actually blessings from God.

Because he knows the end from the beginning.

Keep watching for the afterwards;

It can take years to see the afterwards,

And maybe not even until we reach the other side of heaven.

There really is no End...

Much love to all of you that watch and wait for the

AFTERWARDS...

Hugs Roxy

We Will Always Be Waiting...

 

We will always be waiting...

Winter always seems longer, when

Spring is right around the corner!

Are you a person who waits with peace and joy?

Have you developed the power of stillness?

"Be still and know that I am God"

Psalm 46:10

Every single day you will have the opportunity

to be patient and still, and to wait...

Waiting is a tool I believe God uses in us too

form Christ in us!

There will be a long line in the grocery store.

You will wait in the doctor's office

You will wait for the pot to boil

You will wait for your first born to arrive

You will wait and wait and wait;

So why not take this God given time to allow Him

To perform a work in your heart!

We wait for every season to change.

We wait for a grandchild to be born.

We wait for a loved one to pass over to Glory.

We wait for pay day.

We wait for a doctor's report.

We wait for something every single day!

"I am waiting for the Lord's return"

~The truth is we can't really hurry up anything~

God's timing is perfect and aligns with everything.

"There is a place of stillness that allows God

the opportunity to work in us, "His perfect peace!"

The striving will wear you out!

Rest and relax in those times we must wait!

Is it easy?? No, but it will produce a silent power

And a submissive spirit within your character!

Allow God to direct all of your days, with patience

and trust!

I so appreciate this season and time of my life;

As I am growing with a few growing pains;

But it's like giving birth, so worth the pain!

Why You Must Keep Your Emotions In Check...

 

Emotions Unchecked

It's a mistake when we think we can let down our guard

and allow ourselves to be blah, crabby, blue

or just an emotional mess!

When I start my day, I can usually tell it's

going to be a push to get out from under a cloud.

It can be a feeling of just not being your chipper self!

I will tell myself...

Girl you better get dressed and put on your

"Garment Of Praise"

So I get busy getting focused and start praising the Lord;

I get my routine warmed up and take charge

~Seize The Day~

Our life in Christ has to be more intentional.

Our family and friends need to see us walking

with Jesus even with the worlds ups and downs.

Be filled daily with the Holy Spirit.

They need to hear positive, helpful wise words from us.

We are not supposed to be empty, cynical, callous

or complaining to those we love,

 Or those we barely know!

I will not take part in this plan to cause

myself to be upset or feeling low.

Because, there is a master plan for me and my life!

Shake it off

Sing

Be Beautiful

Love

Love is the root, good works are the fruit!

Let us consider one another in order to stir up

Love and Good works!

Hebrews 10:24

Lord, Keep me from speaking empty, ungrateful

faithless words...

I so appreciate each and everyone of you that

stops in to read what the Lord has laid on my heart!

I want to be faithful and to love and

encourage others!

I do tell myself once in awhile, I realize I'm

not everybodies cup of tea!

~Orange trees don't have really deep roots,

But typically they can spread far out past the canopy!

Bear much fruit and cover a lot of ground~

From Ashes We Came

Lyrics: Forty Days (From Ashes We Came) Forty days You wandered through the desert bleak Forty days You withstood temptation Forty days You wrestled, though the flesh be weak You kept the faith for our salvation Lord, we follow You Lead us in your ways Lord, we follow You Guide us on, we pray Forty days we pray, for strength to keep the fast Forty days we walk in Your grace Forty days we wait, till Easter comes at last And we see the glory of Your face [Repeat Chorus] From ashes we came To ashes we return Blessed be the name of the Lord From dust we came To dust we return Blessed be the name of the Lord © Stacey Plays Hymns 2025

This is a song we heard in our Church last night

It was such a powerful blessing!

This might be a sweet way to start each morning with

during this time of the 40 days before Resurrection day!
