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

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...

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
