His Grace is sufficient. Isaiah 33:6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of The Lord (knowledge) is the key to this treasure. Do you ever wish that you could go back and correct the immature mistakes from your teen/college years? After 12 years of nuns, I broke loose a bit. Although I didn’t believe in everything that was shoved down my throat, my faith and deep belief in Christ, was very strong. I dated some real weirdos; guys that were handsome on the outside…
Ps.46:10 Be still and know that I AM GOD. I will be exalted in this earth. Ps.56 3-4 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God whose word I trust, I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?………Ya Think? I built my possible situation into a huge mountain. My husband was facing a joint replacement, which is not that big of a deal in this day and age. I was facing another event that made me totally apprehensive. My brain was in a funk. I…
For God so loved the world. Genesis 1: 26 Then God said, ”Let us make man in our own (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) image and likeness. Let them rule over all creatures, the fish in the sea, and the birds in the air. So God created man in His own image. He created them male and female.” My youngest son has a great deal of spiritual depth. We had a conversation recently about the following: Our minds cannot fully grasp the glory of God, and the creation of the universe. Somewhere, there is a possibility of: * Other galaxies * Creatures unlike…
Then we are heirs-heirs of God. Romans 8:17 Heirs-one who inherits or is entitled to inherit property So, currently you cannot turn on the news, go to Google, or almost any social media, without seeing or hearing something about the royals and the upcoming wedding or the impending birth of the new prince or princess due this spring. We all know something about this royal family; a queen, her husband, the prince who is the ‘first in line’ for the throne, grandsons, great-grandchildren, more greats to come. so on and so forth. We hear…
Deut. 28:1-2 If you fully obey The Lord your God, and follow all of His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you, and accompany you, if you obey The Lord your God. MY GOD HAS SUCH A SENSE OF HUMOR! If anyone told me a few years ago, that I would be building a Devotional Blog entitled ”Entrusted Wisdom,” I would have laughed in their face. When a General gives you a command, the only answer you can…
The Book of Sirach (Catholic Bible) 6:14-17 Faithful friends are a are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one finds a treasure. Faithful friends are beyond price,no amount can balance their worth. Faithful Friends are lifesaving medicine; those who fear God will find them. Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship, for as they are, so will their neighbors be. There are seven of us. Crazy Girlfriends who love to laugh, play, love, and support one another. We always make a date to get together, at least once a month. The following are some of the activities…
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with prayer and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. In my youth, my pursuit was faith, family and pursuing my education. As a young bride, my pursuit was faith, family, marriage, and motherhood. Rebuilding my life became a fearless pursuit: Pursuing God’s wisdom, courage and going back to school. In middle age, I was not only a classroom teacher, but ministered to many, as God ordered At 68, my fearless pursuit is faith, family, and this amazing journey through which he has…
Spotlight 3 Love, Live, Laugh, Learn, and Leave a Legacy Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:4 …there is a time to laugh…..there is a time to dance. Granny always said,” Laughter is the best medicine.” How right she was. Whenever there was a struggle or grief in the family, she always tried to place a funny spin on it, to lighten the load. My mom, sister, cousin Joan and I, always had the Granny Edith laugh. I claim it proudly, for in my family, it’s an expression of love and joy. My very social nature is attributed to all of…
Isaiah 6:2 For Zion’s sake, I will not keep silent. For Jerusalem’s sake, I will not be quiet. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand. WELL….HERE I AM…I WRITE AS HE INSPIRES. It’s not about me. The old Sue couldn’t have done this in a million years. Ten years ago, if you told me I’d be doing this, I’d tell you that your elevator didn’t go to the top…
PS.91:11-12 For He will give His angels charge over you, to accompany, defend, and preserve you in all your ways. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. LOLOL! I can be a real klutz at times. I’ve slipped off the ladder a few times while painting. I’ve tripped over painting paraphernalia on occasion. So it was no surprise, that a month ago, I said the following prayer as I finished painting the bedroom: Lord, surround me with your Guardian Angels today. Please keep…
Saint Mother Teresa: She is a role model for all who proclaim to be a Christian. Each of us has said at one point in our lives, “I could never make a difference…..not that big! “ Well friends, she didn’t do big things. She began by bringing in the homeless and the dying in India. It grew from there. We all have done many little things. I saw my husband become Jesus this morning. It was only for one minute, if that. We were at the doc for his hearing aids this morning. A sweet little Afro-American…
Todays topic…..TRUE FRIENDSHIP The Book of Sirach Ch 6:5-17 A kind mouth multiplies friends, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings. Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant. When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him. For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in the time of distress. Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your shame. Another is a boon companion, who will not be…
2 Cor.10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sits itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. I had a worry/what if syndrome since I was a child. Finally one day, God and I said, ”Enough is Enough!” I was bound and determined that I would do anything and everything to change my Stinkn Thinkn (Joyce Meyer). One thing I learned BIG TIME! Meds and therapy helped a great deal. However, just like a sleazy viper, worry occasionally reared its ugly head. It struck…
As previously revealed, My Granny and mother both had “The Gift of God’s Wisdom.” Oh, you bet they were human, and had their faults; however, they were wise in the spirit. For years, as I rebuilt my life, I prayed for the Gift of Wisdom. The summer of 2000, I began boldly to digest Psalms and Proverbs. I’d sit on my big country porch and read, study, write, and respond. A rather comical incident occurred, once I began my inhalation of The Word. In my dreams, I kept hearing and seeing the words, ”tree of life.” This same…
October 6,2000. My cousin Diana’s son Jeffrey was at the farm for the weekend. I knew in my spirit, the following: · As I took him home to Cincinnati, I was supposed to meet her at All Saints Catholic Church for 4:00pm mass. This church was my home parish in my youth. I attended All Saints Elementary, and was married there also. · I knew that I was called there for a reason. · I responded to the call as I knelt there prior to mass. “Lord, whatever it is that you want me to do, annoint me to fulfill…
