HE’S COLLECTING MY TEARS IN A BOTTLE

What A Flood! Psalm 56:8 You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all of my tears in a bottle! You have recorded every one of them in your book. HOW COULD SHE DO THAT TO ME? She even called my best friend to get her on her side of the issue. I felt like Jesus with the money- changers in the temple. I had to walk away and cool down. I had to tell her, ”I’m hanging up until you get ahold of your emotions.” Really, I hung up because I didn…

I LOVE FRUIT!

Yes, The Fruit Of The Spirit.Is Yummy. Gal 5:22-26 But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking, and envying each other. Fruit is yummy, I love it so. The Spirit teaches, The things we should know. Many don’t listen. They are all about…

Awesome!

For God so loved the world… Isn’t that awesome? He gave…. Again..awesome! His only begotten son. Yep…awesome!! Why so much “awesome”? Because that’s the only way to describe it! God giving us something so very precious and special, a child, His son..His ONLY son! And not just a child to come and live and hang out for a while before returning to the father; a child who was going to give up his own life so we might have eternity! That isn’t something to take lightly…

WHAT IS LOVE?

My Dear Sweet Granny and Mother taught my sister and I some valuable Lessons. These are the values they lived by: Love, Live, Laugh, Learn, and Leave a Legacy.  Here is the first spotlight in this series.                 Throughout the ages, love has been the one and only thing that humans cannot live without.  Valentines Day was over the top, as usual.        My man gave me a card, and we went out to lunch.  However, you want to know what my favorite time…

Memories of Mama

  wedding in 1948 Mother. Mom. Mommy. Mama. She will go by many names and for many she is a beloved figure in their lives. For me, she was my best friend and anchor, and I lost her, in this world, 20 years ago! My mama passed  to heaven on July 31st, 1998. I have gone 20 years without seeing her smile, hearing her voice laugh, chat, and even scold at times. There is nothing in this world, to me at least, like the love of a mother. Except the love of the Father above! A mother carries her child within…

Prisoner

I AM A PRISONER! Live Worthy Of Your Calling. Eph .4:1-6 As a Prisoner for the Lord, then I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle. Be patient bearing with one another. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit, through the bond of peace. There is One Body and One Spirit, just as you were called to One Hope.(One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of All, who is over all, and through all.) It’s hard to be gentle…

Knowing my heart….

YOU KNOW MY HEART. I’m Not Perfect, and He Loves Me Anyway. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me, and You know me. You know when I sit, and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord. Lord, You and I have been on such a long journey together. I can remember my 2 older sisters teaching me The Hail Mary in French, when I was…

DON’T CONCEAL, REVEAL!

  SIT IN YOUR COMFEY CHAIR AND ROCK ALONG WITH ME AND LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT WHO GUIDES ME…GRANNY       2Timothy 1:6-7 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God, which is in you, through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   When God gives you an order, the only answer is, “Yes, Lord.” However..LOL… being somewhat OCD I ask ,”WHY ME?   YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?”WOW! …. But…
