Christ the Lord is risen today, A-a-a-a-alleluia. A hymn I remember from my youth. This is a glorious day! Praise be to God in the highest!! To everyone, happy Easter, may God’s blessings and mercy fall upon you this day! Peace, love, and good will. Amen Sandra Sanders, boundless trust…
For God so loved the world He gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not die but have eternal life . John 3:16 Easter, the middle chapter in the story of Jesus. The beginning of the story was his birth at Christmas, and then as he began his ministry the people swung from belief in him to disbelief. Ultimately he was fulfilling prophecy to save mankind which was his crucifixion and resurrection. Good Friday is the day he was tried and crucified on a wooden cross. I pray that everyone remembers why he shed blood for all…
Hosanna, a noun which means praise and adoration. It is what the people cried out when Jesus rode into Jerusalem. They were so excited and praising whom they called the King. Palm Sunday, as we refer to it, was remembered by many this weekend and this in preparation for holy week. Palm Sunday brought praises and celebrating and the end of the week brought accusations, condemnation, suffering, denials and death. As we go into this week, let us reflect upon the meaning and significance of the cross. Dear God, please stay close to all of us this week. Walk with…
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13 Whew! That’s such an awesome word I’ll say it again, whew! I am realizing, more and more, I am not a kid anymore, or even a young adult! I have begun this job and it is kicking my ‘butt’ in some ways. There is so much information to learn and even language to familiarize myself with. Yet, I love it! I have had several instances where I am so happy to help others. It isn’t just filling scripts it…
I can do all things, through him who gives me strength Phillipians 4:13 Today, I began a new career for real! I am a pharmacy tech and wow (!) I am not young anymore! There is so much information to learn and remember!! I pray, Father, that you will walk this new path with me. You brought me to this new job so I am trusting you to walk with me through it! Stay tuned as I explore this new path God has out me on. I know he is with me! Thank you God for the strength…
Beloved, let us love one another 1 John 4:7 Today I witnessed something, that by it’s very simplicity, took my breath away and made me pause. As I was walking through the grocery store I noticed two women standing facing each other, I believed them to be talking. As I got closer however I realized they were holding hands, their heads were bowed and they were praying. Right there in front of the butter and cheese! Right there in the middle of an isle-in the open. In front of everyone! They weren’t being…
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 I have several thoughts swirling around my head on this topic today; washing machines, mops and sin/change. As I was cleaning today, I was doing an ordinary thing-preparing a bucket of water to mop. I rinsed the mop-because it seems there is always a little dirty water left when I finish the previous time, and filled the bucket with hot soapy water. I proceeded to mop my living room floors. Now, this is a job…
DO NOY BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. ROANS 12:2 Change. What does it look like? We talk about change in so many different ways in our lives; we change clothes, hair color, diapers, etc. But what does it look like to change in God’s eyes? When we come to God the Father we are quite often ‘dirty’ and frankly broken. Dirty because we are covered by sin and broken because all of man is sinful and so that immediately makes us broken. Some of mankind doesn…
Let all who take refuge in you be glad. Psalm 5:11 Busyness. Such a scary word. We all find ourselves there at some point, where everything we touch and attempt gets us farther behind. I have so much going on in life right now! A new job, a new blog page we are working on, and my family! I love everything and this month I am going to begin sharing with all of you about me! Growing up, becoming a Christian, finding myself in the ‘dumps’, living with a husband who was a wreck, becoming widowed, and…
I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. Philippians 4:11 I am going back to this scripture today because God is requiring it of me. I have been a homemaker for a year; I left a full-time job in February of 2017 because I was miserable! My health was beginning to take a nose dive due to my lack of taking good care of myself. My mental capacity was wearing thin and my nerves-well let’s describe them as frayed! I was just a train wreck! So, I quit and stayed home…
For God so loved the world He gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Those words strike an amazing chord deep down within my being. This week, the world lost an amazing human being. A man who humbled himself and served the Lord in towns, villages, and countries around the world. A man who counseled presidents and heads of state. A man who was also so human, that when offered anything at all before doing a t.v. scene, he asked for a hamburger! This individual left his…
Let those also who suffer….entrust their souls to a faithful creator…. 1 Peter 4:19 What does Fort Knox look like? Have you ever wondered about it? Personally, I never gave it much thought. I have, however, been fascinated with older banks that have the fancy woodwork, windows, seats, and vaults. They look so official and ‘safe’. As a child, I remember going with my parents to the bank to make deposits or conduct whatever banking business they had. It was usually a very quiet place, almost like a library; and people were waiting in…
Author: Sandra Sanders I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me. Psalm 57:2 Sometimes, our bodies go into hibernation, just like the mighty tree in winter. We don’t feel as if we are growing, blossoming, or flourishing. We cry and feel down. Depression can set in and that brings us down even further. How does a person get past this? What does he/she do and where does he/she turn? I reflect on the scripture above; I cry out to God for help and encouragement. But, sometimes when the…
A cheerful heart has a continual feast. Proverbs 15:15 Laughter. What makes you laugh? Is it a joke, a comedian, maybe a story? During the holidays, my sister Linda and I had the privilege of sharing in a moment of laughter that still makes me giggle and grin almost two months later! We decided to do some baking this holiday. Now, when we were growing up, my mother baked so many dozens of cookies that it filled cans and jars that were stacked on the pantry shelves and lasted until mid-January! So, I decided this was the year…
Therefore be imitators of God…and walk in love. Ephesians 5:1-2 So, have you ever had someone get under your skin so badly you just wanted to scream?! Well, let me tell you, I have had this quite a bit in the past year. Just because I am saved by the blood of Christ doesn’t make me immune to the torments of Satan; if anything it makes it worse. So let me tell you about the torment he has been prodding me with lately. There is a young woman, I will not name names, who…
