Kindness..a part of the Fruit of the Spirit

   Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) ~ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,  peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.    I realize it has been a while since my "fruit of the Spirit" posts. Today's post is about kindness. Not human kindness..but the type that comes …

Time That Is Never Wasted

   Billy Graham ~ We relegate God to our spare time- but end up never having any spare time! Jesus said, "Seek first his kingdom" (Matthew 6:33 NIV)       I have felt so blessed this week. To be able to spend time ...quality time with some of the people I love. Quality time …

When HE Calls, Will You Answer?

Philippians 2:4-8 (The Message) ~ Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Think of yourself the way Christ Jesus thought of Himself.

Surely I am not the only person who has had these thoughts.  I know it isn't something we tend to think about when we are younger. We should though..and as adults …

FORGIVENESS and LOVE: part 2

    As I promised, I am back with another post on the subject of forgiveness. Today I want to touch on the "when and why" of this thing called forgiveness. It is a touchy subject..I know. It is a must though if we call ourselves believers.    Matthew 18:21-22 (NKJV) ~ Then Peter came to …

It’s going to be AMAZING!

     My kids Spring Break was last week. I love it when they are out of school...yes, I really do. We had a great week together. We all agreed that the best part was getting to go to the Toby Mac concert at Wild Adventures. In the words of my oldest child.."I just don't …

Turn Around..HE is right there!

   Ever felt like you were just too far gone for Jesus to want you? Ever feel like you had too many mistakes in your past to be forgiven? Guess what, YOU are WRONG!! That is a lie of the enemy..the enemy(satan) wants you to believe those things. There is no sin too big for …
