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 …

Let GOD Fight the Battle..Choose Love

Sometimes, you just have one of those days. The kind where the devil just tries to get at you any way he can. Some days it is easier to fight that spiritual battle than others. When I am faced with a spiritual battle, sometimes I remember to put on my armor and other times..well, I …

NOBODY’S PERFECT

You have heard it said, "Nobody's perfect". Why then, knowing this is a fact, do we sometimes expect others to live up to our standards..instead of God's standards? He is the only perfect One. As those who have accepted the free gift of salvation (Christians), we are called to be patient, humble, kind and gentle …

Time That Is Never Wasted

I want to share with you what I learned...and I would like to …

Well Done….

                                               When I am gone....how will I be remembered?? When my time on this earth is done, what legacy will I leave behind? 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 …

Making the Time and Giving HIM Glory

   I am not a morning person..I love my sleep..I need my sleep. 🙂 I chose to set my alarm to wake up 30 minutes earlier today. When I told my husband that I had done this(he was still asleep 🙂 ) he said that was a miracle in itself..because he knows me best..he knows I …

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 …
