Ephesians 5:10 “and find out what pleases the Lord” Tonight, I picked up my phone and wondered what I was supposed to post about. Immediately, Ephesians 5:10 popped into my brain. I had to look the verse up; I had no idea what it was! Clearly, God wants me to pursue this one! I am again coming to a crossroads and I must turn to, and rely heavily upon, the Father for guidance. In that moment I realized how impatient I am! Not that God won’t take care of things, but that it isn…
God has given me so many riches, but not in the form of money, wealth or objects. Instead, he has given riches in people! I have so many in my life! Acquaintances, co-workers, employees, employers, friends and family. Along with all of these riches comes opportunity! Opportunity to live, laugh, Love, argue, fight, curse, and cry! Because the opportunity arises for these things we quickly learn that forgiveness must be part of our everyday life! Without it, bitterness sets in and replaces love and joy with anger and scars soon block our hearts ability to beat properly. When God…
2Cor 3:3 You show that you are a Letter From Christ, the result of our ministry, written not in ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of the human heart. Who Me? YES! YOU! We can write on the hearts of others with the simplest word, smile, hug, or encouragement. We all do it….at times. Within our homes, families, and circle of friends. All of us work jobs touching lives of others; however, we…
Recently, my family I work for was preparing for the grandparents to visit. They cleaned the guest space, put away extra stuff, sorted old papers, got out the guest towels, pillows, etc. I noticed that there was a current running throughout; we have to get this done, it has to look nice, we have to impress! Isn’t that what each of us does at times, we “dress to impress”. We put on our smiles, we take a deep breath, and we make those around us feel we are calm, cool and collected. Inside….whole different…
James 1:19 Be slow to speak and slow to become angry. DON’T PLAY POSSUM WITH ME A few months ago my husband had a knee replacement. However, he was in good enough shape to wobble outside, thank the Good Lord. CHECK OUT THE SCENE: We had just put up the Xmas Tree that Sat p.m., and were enjoying Hallmark Xmas Movies. Suddenly, the pups outside began this HUGE DEEP…
With God all things are possible… Today, this very morning, is a new beginning-again. New beginnings will usually bring pain, tears, fear, and eventually some joy. Today, Lord, I give this day to you. It is all about you and I am not the focus. When people look at me, I pray they see Jesus! Walk with me, speak through me, and love as only you would love! Amen Sandra Sanders boundless trust…
MY 3 SONS I HEAR THE 60’S SHOWTUNE SINGING IN MY HEAD Proverb: Bring up a child in the way he should go, and he will not depart from it. Hiam Ginott: A child is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be lit. Fred McMurray would be very proud of us. He was the super dad who raised 3 sons, with the help of his uncle, Bub. I loved watching this program growing up. It modeled how to parent seriously, yet with humor and discernment. We were a couple who took parenting VERY SERIOUSLY. It…
THE LIBERALS BELIEVED THIS SCRIPTURE We’d All Get Along. 1 Chronicles 29:11. Thine, O Lord, Is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. After WWII, all of America was Judeo Christian. The draft stopped after Viet Nam ended. Then came drugs, rebellion, the rise of many different religions. During Pres. Reagan’s Administration, there was still respect between Democrats and Republicans. Then came the…
THELMA, LOUISE, BORIS AND THE KING OF TRIVIA OK…….You Had To be There…….LOLOLOL! Proverbs 17:17 A Friend Loves at ALL TIMES. My Friends: What would I ever do without them? Thelma has been dear to me since 1991. Louise, my neighbor, became a soul mate after her husband divorced her in 2007. What a crew! We play, pray, and laugh a lot together. We are travel buddies and all of us get along so well. Last year, we went on a two-week trip to the Black Hills, in South Dakota. We drove….and drove…..and drove…
If No One Knew For Sure If They WereHeaven Bound. Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through Our Lord Jesus Christ.Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God. I attend a Catholic Bible Study at my church. The title of it is KEEPING IN BALANCE. It’s all about the expectations the world places upon us, as well as the ones we place upon ourselves.Just as I attended nondenominational Bible Studies previously, we…
I LOVE ME….DON’T YOU? Hollywood? Who Cares? “The most difficult secret for a man to keep is the opinion he has of himself”. Marcel Pagnol “PUFF FLUFFS; Those who are vogue on the outside and vague on the inside.” My best football buddy, Linda Raber, quoted this to me. HERE IS HOLLYWOODISM; *I am awesome! *I am rich. *I know everything. *Those of you who don’t have my politics are worthless. *I am brilliant in politics. *Let’s make fun of those who are Christians, their values, and morality. I am Liberal. I can accuse any man…
MAN’S INNATE NEED TO WORSHIP Faith Brings Strength, Peace, and Wisdom Colossians 2:2-3 This is what I ask of you; that you will have the rich experience of knowing Christ with real certainty and clear understanding. For God’s secret plan, now at last made known, is Christ Himself. In Him lie hidden all the mighty, untapped treasures of wisdom and knowledge. History books and the Bible are loaded with examples. Cults, Scientology, Idol Worshippers, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism: It’s just as present now, as it was 2,000 years ago. Modern day idols include the following…
I CAN do all things through Christ… I know you’ve read that from me before. I am in a slump right now; emotionally, physically, but especially spiritually! I feel drained, totally empty, and without the “gumption” to fill back up. I was off my ‘nut’ medicine for a few days and that hasnt helped, but I feel lost and without purpose. I know God has this, I never doubt that, but my body is tired and in pain much of the time. I am getting older but seriously?! 55 shouldn’t mean…
SENATOR LINDSAY GRAHAM: MY HERO God Bless Brett Kavanaugh “Vengeance Is Mine!” Saith The Lord. If you watched The Senate hearings trying to destroy Brett Kavanaugh, you know what I’m talking about. To all of my Friends that I call sisters who vote Liberal: I pray for you. I treasure you as sisters, as soul mates, and all of you proclaim to be Christians? How can you vote for these Godless people? Do you think Jesus would vote for them? Enough said!!! *I vote the Christian Ticket ….ALWAYS! * I have told my friends many times the following: “I will…
MY WILD, WACKY, WONDERFUL, WEEKEND Lunch With My Ft. Thomas, Ky. Cousins Laughter is the Best Medicine: Granny Laible. OMG! Did my sister and I ever have a spectacular weekend? Her cancer is in remission. Hopefully, God has blessed her with a few more years. The present theme is Sue drives; sister sleeps. We need to spend as much time together as possible. I left home on Sat.Sept.22, and took the hour drive to Dayton. I picked up sister and we headed towards Cincinnati. Once we entered the Queen City, Sister exclaimed. ”There she is!” The Big Mack…
