Game Feast



I’ve been cutting back on preparing a lot of meat recipes. My digestive system is happy and my husband has been a peach of guy telling me that my tuna casserole and refried beans are delicious. On the other hand, as soon as he heard the announcement for the Wild Game Feast in the men’s group at church, he signed up to go. Over 60 guys attended last Friday night and I enjoyed hearing how they devoured the venison, lion mountain stew and buffalo. My husband’s favorite was the elk enchiladas with jalapeño cream sauce. Macho guys!

When I picture those ravenous men devouring their delectable main course, I think to myself: “that is how I want to always yearn for the Word of God.” I envision a sit-down feast with everything my eager heart needs so I can be satisfied with a fulfilling portion. It’s a sure thing with God’s Word. He seems to know exactly what I need for the day at hand. I love the Hebrews 4:12 scripture: For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Are you like me, needing God’s Word every day? May you be uplifted and strengthened today. There’s more encouragement for you at Spiritual Sundays.

    Very good. I read three devotional books in the morning in addition to the Bible. It never fails to amaze me how the Scriptures selections speak to my needs. Thanks for posting.

    Yes, I am in need of God's Word every day. You have an inspiring site and I truly enjoy taking my shoes off and resting here a while. Thank you for visiting my blog site as well and for your thoughts and prayers. That means so very much to me. God certainly knows who to put us in contact with, doesn't He? His timing is always right.

    Peace,

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

I'm Going as Abigail This Year

I vote for more purses, toothbrushes, cups, storybooks, and Halloween costumes that feature Abigail of the Old Testament.  She is a heroin worthy to emulate, in my opinion, even more than Cinderella. Once upon a time, there was a kind woman by the name of Abigail who lived with a surly man who liked to drink a lot and have parties.  One time, King David and his army were very hungry and entered the surly man’s homestead and asked if they could come to his barbecue.  The king had a right to ask because he and his men protected the homestead’s boundary lines.  The surly man said “No.  Get off my property.”  The King had a temper and became offended. Surly drunk + spiteful King = War In the meantime, Abigail heard about the situation and spent hours baking cinnamon rolls for the King and his army.  She dismounted from her horse and presented the King with her peace offering.  She bowed low and greeted the King and asked his forgi...

Rescued!

Everybody likes the thought of being safe.  Who wants to be left out in the cold?  Not me.  That’s why I tacked Psalm 59:16 to a winter photo and shared it on my Facebook page. But as for me, I will sing about your power.      Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge,      a place of safety when I am in distress. An unusual cold air mass came through our part of the state a few weeks ago when I posted that photo.  My friend, Peggy, left a comment of how God specifically rescued her the cold night before giving muscle power to my photo creation of Scripture and snow! Peggy drove to Sedona to have dinner with friends despite the cold front and dipping temperatures.  At about 8:00 p.m. she noticed a problem with her car on the drive back home on that dark, main highway.  The red dashboard lights came on and her vehicle overheated.  Peggy pulle...
