Love Letters...

Seasons will come and go as we are all very aware of this!
But sometimes we just need to hang on to those words or memories.

Can you just close your eyes and see those sweet faces or places;
Of the past of days or years.

People and places and even a song;
can trigger a memory that can still captivate your heart!

We need new eyes each day to explore the gifts just waiting for us!
Yet having a treasure kept in the back of a drawer;
Or a pressed leaf or flower in the pages of your Bible!

May we not become blind and deaf in those sights and sounds,
Of our children giggling and playing.
Or your Husband sitting in his chair saying the evening grace.
These are powerful gifts God has given us!

These glimpses of the days that have come and gone;
They are treasures for us to pull out and to ponder.
As Mary did with Jesus.

But, I feel an excitement to hear and see with a new enthusiasm!
Do not become bored with your life and those in your family!
Live like today is the most precious day of them all!

Wake up!
Can you just hear with ears attuned to the song that God is
Singing over you...
Why does God say so many times a warning of these words?
"Those that have ears to hear"

I will not be one of those who will not hear the whole council,
Of God's Word of truth!

Stop cheating yourself and see that we are all being lulled to sleep!

Stop taking scripture out of context!
 Yes, God can give you a special promise for a crisis!
(Believe me He is God)
But let's not make a new doctrine from one scripture...

God is a God of providence;
Not chance...

When I look back and see the hand of God in my life;
And how He is orchestrating things!

This is why God always reminded us on how He did what he did for Israel!
Our Hope is in His return.
Find the promises that are for the believers today!
He gave us such an amazing truth!
They are His love letters to us!
Stop reading between the lines;

(That is where the church gets itself in trouble)

First Responders...

Being a responder is profound in a world that is dull and seared.

We don't mean to be insensitive to people or things around us.

We have just been bombarded!

 As women in our marriages,

 We must be quick to respond to our men.

They need to feel wanted and important and respected.

Sometimes we can overlook a much needed response to them.

As homemakers we can get so overwhelmed with life;

We can just feel in a slump and not respond as we should!

Keeping things in a organized flow.

Our children can even get slightly overlooked, when

A day can fly by faster than imaginable.

We have so many needs in a world that is lost and desensitized.

"I believe women were created to be responders"

I know that to be a responder will cost you something...

But do we want a faith or a relationship that does not cost us anything?

If you will never put yourself out for another person's well being;

We will be self-centered and not Christ centered.

We had so many people praying for our dear lost grandson in the mountain!

We were just blown away from the outpouring of so many people.

We are all called to be responders!!

It will not look the same for each of us,
 But we must make the effort to meet

The needs of those who are hungry and thirsty

Those who need someone to show some compassion.

We all have been lost in one way or another!

I am praying to be more aware when the Lord gives me 

A glimpse of when I need to respond!

There are well trained professional responders for

Natural disasters and search and rescue.

But we do not have to wait for a crisis or disaster to comply

with the scripture that the Lord gave us!

When we do respond it is as if we are doing it unto Jesus!

Matthew 25:31-46

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,fn you did it to me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Clayton's Reunion And The News Clip...

 

Family Bond

We have many bonds in our lives with many people.

The strongest bond is one of a parent and a child;

And a child with a grandparent.

This is family!

But let us take notice of another family bond;

The Body of Christ;

Where your children, become important to us all!

Children and the Body of Christ is the realization that we

All have a heavenly Father who cares and has a plan for each of us!

God asks us this very question;

Are you not you're brother's keeper?

Our entire family wants to Thank each and every person that lifted up a prayer

That

Was given in our grandsons behalf.

No one found our grandson;

It was only God who led him from the forest.

We were told that this part of the forest is referred to as hell,

Because of its dark and dense conditions.

(REALLY)

The search party was not even looking in the right place on this mountain.

Only God knew where he truly was at every moment of every hour;

Of a 27 hour ordeal!

May we all stop nit picking on those we love; and realize that

most irritations are very small in the grand scheme of things!

Wisdom is not usually lofty and high.

But rather God's command to love one another;

As you love yourself!

Only a few brave ones will lay down their lives for others.

We do this in prayer for others!

We do this with actions by helping others!

Just giving a cup of cold water in His name will bring Him Glory!

Here is the TV news clip of his story!

Our Grandson Has Been Rescued...

 

We have witnessed a miracle and answered prayer!

Out Grandson has been found and he is healthy.

My heart is full of gratitude and my faith in God did not waver.

Scared and the longest 24 hours of my life.

The Cinderella Syndrome...

Artist; Carolina Elizabeth

The Cinderella in all of us...

I feel pretty, oh so pretty....

Ta Daaa!

Everyday we awake with a whole wonderful script written out for each of us.

 We have all the lines and scenes all ready written out!

We get to play the leading role....

Your Cinderella

(The Princess)

And we all have a Fairy God Father

(The King of Kings)

We all have a wicked step Mother

(Satan the big deceiver)

When we stop looking in the mirror and examining

our own faces and our body size.

And;

Start looking into His word and examining our hearts!

We really do become pretty and you act pretty.

Remember Cinderella, she did do all the right things;

It was a matter of her heart and obedience to those in authority.

But the key here for me is this;

There is only one true authority, and I am His loyal subject.

I don't want to ride around in a pumpkin

And where glass slippers.

But I do want to feel loved and valued.

So what we are called to do is to love others;

Help them to feel special and reward them for their goodness.

Giving honor to others will put you in the right place.

Most issues are heart issues!

Jealousy, bitterness, and anger will keep you

from being a Cinderella.

As in God's eyes if you have given Christ your heart first;

You are now a real princess!

And you do not even have to ride to the great banquet in a pumpkin.

So many are looking for a fairy tale story!

"Why not live your very own real life story"

Be who He has created you to be...

May the real Cinderella please stand up...

Do not give up and keep your heart open to His direction.

Here is a lovely bouquet of flowers for all you do,
