OPPORTUNITY CLOCK

 

It is an interesting term that I have pondered the last week or so after hearing it while conversing over lunch with a gal that I went to high school with.  I am in awe of God bringing us together after more than a quarter century…we’ll just leave it at that!  😉 Continue reading “OPPORTUNITY CLOCK”

JESUS MEETS US

“I think the Holy Spirit has different signs for all of us.” 

 

 

It was a simple sentence from a friend that resonated with me especially with hearing a sermon, two days later, that I think further expounds on the statement.  Continue reading “JESUS MEETS US”

YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND

This past week I was helping my music major college aged daughter study for a quiz. Now let me set the record straight….No, I am not a helicopter mother!

The quiz involves listening to a snippet, starting anywhere from about 10 sec – 3 minutes, of a song.
The students need to write the exact title of the song, artist, genre of music and the year it was written (within a 5 yr window.)

CARRY MY CROSS

Good Friday this year afforded me the opportunity to participate in something that I have never done before…

 

….A “Witness Walk.”

 

This Witness Walk involved the participants walking in procession behind a big, heavy, 40 lb wooden cross, carried by two people at a time, through the streets of a neighboring town, past houses and several businesses, commemorating Jesus’ Passion as He journeyed from Jerusalem to Calvary.  Continue reading “CARRY MY CROSS”

LIVE IN PEACE

“So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go.  First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”  –Matthew 5:23-24  (ESV)

 

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”  –Mark 11:25  (BSB)

 

Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.  –Romans 12:18 (NLT)

 

Aren’t those some pretty powerful lessons that Jesus is teaching us about how we ought to be living each day in our Christian lives?

THE PEARL

THE WORLD WAS MY OYSTER

BUT WHERE WAS THE PEARL?

 

 

Hearing these words, that echoed most for me, from the musical Annie, for the second time in three months, inspired me to share them with you this week.

Sometimes we don’t always do what we think we’re suppose to do right away, right?

I am sure somewhere along the way I had seen this musical but it has been many years.  Seeing it performed in a quaint theater in Florida back in December, it seemed like I wanted to share something about it but it never came to fruition. Continue reading “THE PEARL”

PEARLS OF WISDOM

“Everything happens for a reason.”

 

“You choose what bothers you.”

 

 

Yes, for me, they are pearls of wisdom quoted from my youngest son that I found worth pondering and inspiring.  Words that I needed to hear and believe in my heart and thought you might need to be reminded of as well. Continue reading “PEARLS OF WISDOM”

PRAISES

In this fast paced world that we live in, do you notice the many reasons we have to praise the Lord for His goodness that is all around us?

I dare say that the moments of each day bring us many opportunities to praise our Lord!!

 

 

As I was driving to work one recent morning, after some dark, no sun days, the sky was so beautiful with color…a few wisps of clouds with a pink hue to them, the sun peeking up over the horizon.  I couldn’t help but feel His presence loving me!

The beauty of the sky always makes me praise God for His handiwork that we get to enjoy while journeying through this earth. Continue reading “PRAISES”

GOD’S MIRACULOUS POWER

Miracles still happen today; healings still happen today too!

 

This week I am excited to share a current day healing with you all of a friend of mine that God brought into my life over 35 years ago.

 

Meet Ken and his wife, Sandy:

 

 

 

Ken has had his share of health issues through the years and in discussing his latest healing recently with him, it is noteworthy to say that I personally see God touching Ken’s life with three major healings or miracles. Continue reading “GOD’S MIRACULOUS POWER”

GPS SAGA

For those of you who may be long time readers of my site, you might recall that I have had a love/hate relationship with GPS’s from my post entitled GPS.

This week I come to tell you that I still stand by that relationship with the good ole fashioned GPS that you plug into your car since I do not have a good cell phone to help navigate.

 

This weekend my youngest son and I had another harrowing experience trusting our GPS rather than the google maps that I checked out ahead of time.

These experiences provide me with more parallels or lessons to think about which I find relatable to our walk with the Lord. Continue reading “GPS SAGA”
