Spiritual Sundays


22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lam. 3:22, 23

Many families are facing spiritual battles right now and we are, too. A member of our family woke up pondering the lyrics of “The Steadfast Love of the Lord” this morning and it’s become our signature song today. May it encourage you, also.
Thank you for the wonderful prayers, my friends. We feel the closeness of the Lord and I wanted you to know how comforting that is!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end,
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Your faithfulness, 0 Lord
Great is Your faithfulness!

Be sure to join our hosts Charlotte and Ginger for more uplifting Spiritual Sundays!

  3. I had shared this with another friend here in blogosphere. If also I may share it with you. Yesterday, as I was waking up, it felt like the Lord was telling me to read Psalm 125. So,I did when I did my morning devotion. v.1-"Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;they will not be defeated but will endure forever." I'll let you read the rest when you get a chance. It is a wonderful promise that God is indeed our Protector. Evil prevails only as long as He allows. He is and will always be in control. May God's love, comfort, strength, protection and wisdom cover you and your family. Blessings and love to you sister.

    Praise the Lord for the Victory if HIM, we must take our Spiritual Authority and Praise HIM in these storms, Trusting and Obeying along the way!

    I love you Mary!

    This is so uplifting for me to read this night too. Yes, we may be going through spiritual battles, but we are never alone...and I quote you again here:

    "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
    His mercies never come to an end,
    They are new every morning
    New every morning
    Great is Your faithfulness, 0 Lord
    Great is Your faithfulness!"

    All praise, honor and glory is yours Almighty Father forever and ever more. Amen!

    I love you sweet friend. I had to stop in to say hello and I'm so very happy that I did.

    Love, Hugs & Prayers,
    Allelluiabelle

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 ...

Mama's Lipstick

I always wished I could do things with my mom like shop in the mall, share makeup secrets or go to the movies and watch romantic comedies.  My wish never materialized.     My mama behaved like a tomboy.   She loved baseball and pitched with a strong right arm.   She could care less about the latest fashion or the latest movies featured on the big screen.   She never polished her fingernails.    One day after elementary school, I walked into the house to find my mom all dolled up in front of the bathroom mirror, foundation crème, powder, eyebrow pencil and rouge all over the counter sink.  “Who are you?” I asked, thrilled to see my mama putting on the Ritz.  Makeup in place and blotted, she immediately took it off.  “I don’t like the way it feels,” she exclaimed. She retired in Arizona and protected her dry lips with a light rose lipstick, the color of natural lips, a step above ChapStick.  She wore it a few tim...

Book Review of Biblical Minimalism and Give Away

What does minimizing look like?  To the empty nester it may mean downsizing real estate.  To the co-dependent, it may mean pitching some toxic friendships they tend to collect.  I thought I had a handle on Biblical minimalism, but I wasn’t even close.  Biblical minimalism is much more than cleaning out a drawer and discarding unwanted things into a box to take to the thrift store. In her book, Biblical Minimalism, Cheryl E. Smith defines Biblical minimalism as “a complete, whole person release of anything unlike Jesus, a letting go of everything that hinders us from following Him wholeheartedly and single- mindedly , and a relinquishing of all that brings us under bondage to this earthly, very temporary life.” The author gives us a visual of a whole pie that is divided into eight slices.  Each slice describes our lives with areas to analyze to see if pruning or adjustment is needed.  I won’t name them all, but one example is the “emotional ...
