Love Love and Love some more no matter what .....

Be attentive to those first or the last moments that rest gently in your hand.
Give your soul the breath of God’s presence.
Enjoy a moment before it passes.
“Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure” ~ Psalm 16:9

I was just sitting here thinking about the weekend with my grandchildren and family ..those moments passed quickly but are forever in my memory , savoring those times at this moment...."sigh" .....Holding on to them until we enjoy again ....

Evening has spoken....

Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon like a magician extended his golden wand o'er the landscape; trinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sounds Peaceful, Quiet, Serene, Breathtaking, and Golden....Sunset......drifting off to sleep for the night .....Beautiful, stars shining brightly......another day is done .....Goodnight my love ..............

Another Manic Monday, So thankful for God's grace to get us through it though. What a beautiful fall day, crisp air, beautiful blue skies, not a cloud or a whisp of white in them. Here it is already October 24th, 2 months until the Christmas season, love this time of year, Jesus is born. We read the Christmas story, we make a special breakfast, we give gifts to those we love . We have memories of those that have gone on before they will be dining with Jesus himself this year, thinking of Great Grandma....laughing cause you never wanted to get behind her to fill your plate, no sir.....you might not eat until New Years day. How I miss her fiestyness , always right, telling you exactly how you looked where you liked it or not , very opinionated . That was Grandma. I look forward to the Christmas carols on the radio 24/7 ~ starting right after Thanksgiving ~ my how the years fly by....gosh I feel the age thing creeping upon me today. The tiredness ~ but God's strength, fear, but God's power, Lonliness but God's love ~ His strength is perfect when Our strength is gone . I wish love for those reading this blog, I wish you fortune, blessings, wisdom and refreshing of your souls. Come to the living water and be renewed, for he fills our cup to the brim . Hope you have an awesome day my friends. let's keep running the race . oh , and yes , I miss you ....

Proverbs 27:6
Wounds from a friend can be trusted ... (NIV)
True Christian friends will build each other up emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Friends like to be together simply because it feels good. We receive strength, encouragement, and love. We talk, we cry, we listen. But at times we also have to say the difficult things our dearest friend needs to hear. Yet, because of the shared trust and acceptance, we are the one person who can impact our friend's heart, for we know how to deliver the hard message with truth and grace. I believe this is what Proverbs 27:17 means when it says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

I have to be honest that I still miss a friend that I lost lately ~ I would be lying if I didn't say it hurt to be accused of something that I didn't do, maybe the accusation was because that some didn't want that relationship with her due to "past" but I didn't look at any of that , I viewed her as a friend a BFF , we have all sin and fallen short of the glory of the Lord~ we all have those things in our Past that God calls us to move forward HE says in his word that our Past has been forgiven and buried in the deepest sea...I Praise God for he remembers NO more wow ...how awesome is that . We need to look beyond ourselves and be there for one another not for what others are saying for we know in the deepest part of our hearts our thoughts and feelings of one another, Praising Jesus that I have the most awesome friends, ones that are going to hang in there with me regardless of what others assume or say about me, God knows my heart and that's all that matters , so if I should transcend worlds today ~ I can say "Search my heart O God make it ever true, Search my heart O God may I be like you, you are the Potter , I am the clay , mold me and make me , this is what I pray .....Search my heart, O God make it ever true , Search my Heart O God may I be like YOU !!!

Are you sharing your Umbrella? Hope so, you Can share mine !

The wind was mighty and the rain pelting down , two children emerged under an umbrella. They hurried along with smiles on their faces. Each one holding the handle in the middle of them. It wasn't a storm to be avoided in their lives but an experience to be shared.
That's how it's supposed to be, I thought. None of use are meant to walk through the rain alone.
A gentle thunder sent them scurrying inside a house but I lingered at the window and wondered...
Why is it so hard for us to go through life's storms together?

It seems we either tend to carry the umbrella only for ourselves. We become scared or bitter and we're afraid to let anyone close. It's hard for us to give.

Or we are happy to offer our umbrella to others while we become soaked. We're afraid that if we don't sacrifice so much then we won't be loved. It's hard for us to receive.

But Jesus calls us to that middle place. He asks us to take hold of that handle. "Love one another," he says. One another--that's two people under the umbrella, giving and receiving.

The children reappear and jump in puddles. Shared joy after the rain
And I think I can just see a new bit of sunlight slipping unexpectedly into my day.

We have

a Hope, God bestows mercy and grace upon us ! Wow....as soft as the raindrops fall, and splash onto the ground , so does our God splash Mercy and Grace upon our lives, we fall down he picks us up, we stumble and fail , his mercies are new to us each day to forgive us of our shortcomings. The windowpane of our hearts are dirty and decaying he comes along and wipes them clean , bright and shining hearts for him . We can once again sing a new song, a song of love and dedication to him. We serve the most awesome God! Thank you God for the rains that wash my sin away so I can be free...Search me O Lord and know my heart.....loving you this day .....

“For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.” Psalm 107:9

The potter can take a lump of clay and form it into a vessel that holds a pint of water. The potter can also take the same lump of clay and form it into a vessel that holds twice the amount of water. This is done by the potter’s skillful hands as he reshapes the vessel to increase its capacity to hold more.

Do you sense the hands of your Heavenly Potter shaping and stretching you as His vessel? He is doing it to increase your capacity to receive more of His fullness—His life, His love, His strength, His power, His grace.

“The souls which thirst for His promises may evermore be filled

from His abundance.”

1 But now, this is what the LORD says-- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:1-2


Hey how are all of you doing at Falling THIS WEEK~ well it’s rainy outside and dreary …..………I dislike this time of year when it’s cold, rainy and dreary, I love sunshine ~ so, in order to rise above this day , I have a heavenly Father where the SONshine is very bright and warm… I’m letting him fill my cup, I’m praising him for the blessings and the grace he bestows on me, I’m so unworthy of ALL of this but he says I am so Worthy because I am HIS child and HE loves me. Do you feel his love this day, do you feel the grace, the mercy ~ let’s praise HIM , Give HIM thanks, raise our hands in Worship ~ I’m Grateful for this day how about you ?

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” Psalm 139:14
Where something is made matters to us. Look at the tag on most any product and you’ll likely see a line like these imprinted on it:
MADE IN CHINA
MADE IN MEXICO
MADE IN AMERICA
And if you could see the line imprinted on your heart,
it would read, MADE IN HEAVEN.
I just loved this writing above this morning taken from one of my devotionals, WE ARE MADE IN HEAVEN… woo hoo, not China, Not Mexico, Not Japan…not even America …..God himself created us in HIS image and if he did that for us we can do all things through HIM that gives us strength! So how are we this Monday morning, Pastor’s message yesterday was awesome, made me think, I know I see you laughing …..when Lynn thinks watch out folks! You’ve heard the saying “Elvis is in the building” that’s what the sermon reminded me of yesterday , when we are out of the building (church) we are called to go forth and spread his word, Pastor gave us each a challenge this week, so what are we going to do with it?

can you lend a listening ear to some one that is going through sorrow, maybe they lost a loved one, maybe they lost a relationship, maybe someone just wants to cry and you don’t have to say a word , just BE , just be a friend. Show those pearly whites today by giving a smile, shake someone’s hand or give a pat on the back for a great job well done. we are creatures of Praise, we love to be appreciated, show some kindness today . loving you all from my little cube in the corner …

I don't know about you but it’s been a ROUGH week~ started to give myself a pity party this week then I remembered ‘GOD IS AMAZING’ he doesn’t let us fail….we fail ourselves we have choice when we get out of bed in the morning to either say ~ thank you God its’ morning, or Good God it’s morning….what was your reply this day ? there are miracles happening all around us are you thanking him ? he gets us through the storms of life. one day at a time sweet Jesus ….really glad it’s Friday I won’t deny that…but he’s called us to wait upon him HE will renew our strength so we can pursue the race he’s called us to run. He will give you everything you have need of to run….sometimes we can only walk fast….and that’s OK, God still loves us anyway …..praising HIM this morning, beautiful October day, beautiful sunrise , I have a God who is alive and well, and he knows me and HE LOVES ME and YOU ….Make it a great day!

"Life is to short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness.Laugh when you can apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is to short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad,smile when you should,love what you got and always remember what you had.Always forgive but never forget.Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong.But always remember life goes on."

It is so true Friends are for seasons ~ they either are in your life for a reason , season or lifetime ....Lifetime or Forever Friends are VERY rare. I lost a friend today ~ she said she's tired of the drama of someone saying "Well she said" I cannot believe if you are a forever friend that you would doubt , not have faith , or truly believe a friend . I'm beside myself today.......guess I was there for a reason , God must have had a reason to put me  back in her life. Maybe it was to get her through something guess only God knows .......now she's free of me .....must have been dragging her down . She said she was hurt ...oh like she's never hurt my feelings , but forgiveness has always been a big part of  getting through any relationships .....Life is short.....

 There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.”

Karl Marx  (1897-1985); I will miss you friend ~ 

So True , so What are you holding back on Today?

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things

I LOVE WHAT I DO....I AM SO BLESSED ....
