Who is virtuous?

Proverbs 31 woman

Change is necessary!

To reach goals

To improve

To understand

To find peace

To know grace

To feel blessed

To experience life

What is your LIFE'S defining moment?

Heard this question this morning. Thought it was one we all needed to answer for ourselves. Ponder it. Look at your life. Figure it out. Maybe answering it will be your defining moment. Someone said, "It's never too late to be who you were meant to be." Be that person today.

everyone needs a support system

Abundance. Blessed. Overwhelmed.

A wild array of emotions today. I attended an estate sale for a woman who chose to leave this world. To see stacks of unused things, unopened goods and collections was eye-opening. We keep so much, accumulate so much and stock pile so much in a life time. Why do we do it? My parents did it. I do it. It is sad to see how much we have when others have so little. We have so much more than we need and yet continue to get more. We share our abundance but not nearly as selflessly as we collect for ourselves. God blesses us with everything we need and more. Are we grateful enough? I think most of us are not.

Then I heard of a dear friend’s husband’s passing. I am wrought with grief for her and her family. What a tremendous loss for earth! What an amazing saint for heaven! Lord, I pray deep sympathy for the family. He leaves a huge hole in many hearts.

What are your dealing with today? Give it all to God. Let Him guide you this day and every day! Seek His grace, forgiveness, strength, love, peace and all the wonderful spiritual gifts He gives us so freely.

The only thing to stockpile is God’s goodness but don’t keep it all for yourself. Share it with as many as you can!

come on Get Happy

God's word is infallible and crystal clear!

concern for our world

I am a life long member of the United Methodist church. Today we gave up our Sunday school hour to hear about THE WAY FORWARD, options the United Methodist Conference is considering. The obvious questions concern the LGBTQ group. In my heart of hearts I know what the Bible says. I believe in God's infallible word. God does not make mistakes. People do. Why must we change our views to accommodate people with sinful ideas. I know many who feel this way. I know a few who don't.

I don't know why we should even have to talk about it.

WORLD, it is time to study, pray and know the word and will of God the Father of Heaven and Earth. Please pray with me this can be approached as God would and that the Christian values are not compromised.

Love one another1

God is in heaven and also with us!

Me Myself and I

FREE

BELIEVING

GRACED

the Lord's Prayer

 

but deliver us from evil. for thine is the power and glory forever. Amen

OKAY

 

God makes me whole

When life picks me apart

God makes well

When the world makes me sick

God makes me peaceful

When people steal my calm

God makes me free

When I imprison myself

God makes me laugh

When Satan brings me to tears

God makes possible

When I say I’m impossible

God makes me grateful

When I forget to say thanks

God makes me soar

When I clip my wings

God makes me first

When I hold on to last

God makes me His

When I feel like no one’s

Lord, make me a vessel for your love.

Give me the peace to heal.

Show me the way to mend my broken ways.

Help me find the answers to all my pains and fears.

Grant me grace to feel happy and content.

Lead me in your path of righteousness.

Remove me from my self-inflicted bruises.

Make me whole again.

Forgive me and let me live in mercy forevermore.
