A NEW OLD RULE

On the way home from church this past Sunday, Mother's day I might add :), our kids had to sit right beside each other on the way home. Not the best idea...siblings are going to aggravate each other..that is just a fact of life friends. Isn't there an unspoken rule that your kids have to …

ENCOURAGEMENT

     I left you yesterday, on my post (ALL..God cares about it ALL), with a thought about encouragement. I wrote, Everyone needs it..and everyone can provide it..but the best kind comes from God alone! I studied up on encouragement in my Bible this morning. I want to share with you what I learned...and I would like to …

ALL..God cares about it ALL

     It has been one of those weeks. You know the kind. The ones that leave you needing encouragement from others and the kind that causes you to cling to God even more. I find strength in knowing that God cares about it ALL. He truly cares.    No matter how strong you are …

Forgetting What Lies Behind

              Philippians 4:12-14 ~ Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own, but this one …

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. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of Himself that He had to cling to the advantage of that …

Getting and Staying Spiritually Fit

1 Corinthians 9: 26-27 (The Message) ~ I don't know about you, but I'm running hard for the finish line. I'm giving it everything I've got. No sloppy living for me! I'm not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else about it and then missing out myself. Ever felt like you just couldn't take …

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 …
