FAITH, FAMILY, FOCUS, FINISH

Our Family Legacy Proverbs 3:6 In all of your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. Phil 4:19 And my God will meet all of your needs according to His glorious riches. Our son Joel is the Head Coach at Bishop Ready High School. Recently, I was going through his football programs from the last few years. I noticed a theme that comes from his heart, and the way he was raised: FAITH, FAMILY, FOCUS, FINISH. As I pondered this theme, God really brought to my mind, from whence it came. He was raised that…

WAITING IS HARD!

In The Mean Time……. Lamentations 3: 24-26 I say to myself, ”The Lord is my portion; I will wait for Him. The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him; it is good to waitquietly for the salvation of The Lord.” Isaiah 40: 31-32 But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like agles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. OUR PARADIGHM HAS CHANGED: in the meantime……………..* Praise God that you can be safe at home with your family.* Praise…

AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST

RIP….Our Sweet Dr. Kathy Sabo 1 Thess. 4:16-18 For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a shout, with a voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air. And so we will be with The Lord forever. Therefore, encourage each other with these words. I was raised on Weller Rd. in what is now Montgomery, a northern suburb of Cincinnati. We…

My wild Kentucky…..

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…

Miracles

WATCH GOD WORK HIS MIRACLES. America On The Edge Oh Israel…I will Bless Those who Bless You….I will Curse Those who Curse You! I believe in the Covenant that God has made with Israel. For those of you who follow me, you already know that I am a conservative Christian. God Bless Our President! The above scripture says it all! Due to the fact that our President moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem, watch how Our God fulfills prophecy. Watch in great expectation for America to be blessed. The day the Embassy was opened, Pastor Jeffers stated the…

Delightful me….

HE DELIGHTS IN ME? WHAT THE? WHO ME???? The Lord your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Psalm 73:23-26 Yet, I am always with you, you hold me by your right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? Earth has nothing I desire besides You? My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart…

It’s me!

He Wanted Me to Know, ”IT WAS ME!” Suffering Creates Wisdom, Change, And Knowledge Colossians 1:29 Without God ,I can do nothing. To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me. 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. *Everything that I write….. *Everything that I worked so hard to accomplish…….. Everything that I teach…… Everyone that I mentor…….. * Every year that I struggled to raise 3, strong Christian men along with my husband….…… *Every degree I’ve earned…

GOD IS GENTLE…

GOD IS GENTLE AND HOLDS US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. 2 Samuel 22:31 The Word of God is flawless. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. GOD’S WORD’S TO ME:”I will never leave you. You will never shame me.” LOL! OH REALLY? THAT’S NOT WHAT SISTER MARY NOT SO BRIGHT pounded into me for 12 years. God’s Grace and freedom are so amazing. Too bad it didn’t soak in until I was 50…

Mountains..

DON’T MAKE MOUNTAINS OUTTA MOLEHILLS! Think Before You React. Isaiah 41: 13 For I am The Lord Your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ”Do not fear, I will help you.” God taught me many years ago, that I’m a lot stronger than I think I am. Granny and Mom always insisted upon one thing, ”Don’t make mountains outta molehills!” Unfortunately, I had a family member with special needs, and over reaction was a huge problem. I made a positive choice and promise to myself, that I would try my best…

Dwelling….

DWELL IN A SAFE PASTURE. I Don’t Own My Extended Family’s Problems… GOD DOES! Psalm37: 3-4 Trust in The Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in The Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. God has created me to be a mentor..a teacher…a fixer of problems…. A cheer leader for those not knowing where to turn. LOLO!! However, there is a fine line between mentoring and sticking my nose in where it doesn’t belong. There’s some issues in my extended family…

Troubles hearts…

DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED. Sean Hannity: Fox News Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. If you follow my blogging, you must know that I am a Christian Conservative. Fox News is the only network that doesn’t have the unhinged left attitude. Nightly, we watch Sean Hannity, whom is severely, hated by the left. In my 69 years, I have never seen such hate lashed out at a President, and fellow Christians. Believe it…if you are a true Christian, you are under attack. I believe that…

Pain…

The sunset brings rest before the dawn Beloved, let us love one another 1 John 4:7 Life is full of many joys, laughter, and humor. But, and there is always one of those, it has pain and sadness with it too. God gives us all things for our good, and while we cannot always understand the pain of the moment, we can usually look back on it later and see why God allowed such hurt and suffering. Recently, I received a wonderful reconciliation with a family member. I have been overjoyed to see this beloved person again, but I…

New circumstances

When a person begins new things, they often meet it with one of two things: fire or fear. The fire is the excitement and drive to meet challenges head on and the fear is that we aren’t going to do well. Currently, I am beginning new challenges and I have a fire to tackle them, which is good, except when I feel I’m not being heard or appreciated. Usually, though, it’s my own ego standing in the way. Can you imagine people who move to new states or even countries? They might have the…

MY BURR OAK

The following is a passage from my book..THE ERSTWHILE ACORN… in progress.   I am one who profoundly admires trees. In my opinion, every tree has it’s own personal story, spirit, and soul. Being an artist, when I encounter tree branches, I admire the lines, curves, curls, and twisting limbs. I engage the setting behind the tree, and admire the framed picture it creates. As I sit on our big country porch, I view the huge, succulent, Burr Oak that resides in our barn lot. It has stood on our farm for 350 years, as a monument to…
