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!

    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.

    Mary,

    I was so happy to see a post from you and haven't stopped praying! Yes, the heat is turning up but we should not be surprised should we?
    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!

    My Precious, Precious Friend,

    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

    How wonderful to wake up with a song on the heart and then share it with the rest of the family, then with us. I pray you are having a good bloggy break and feeling rested. Is your grandbaby still there?

    I'm having a one day give away on my blog today if you get a chance to swing by.

    Blessings.

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 ...

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play...

A Surprise at the Mall

I lost touch with a writer friend.  I missed her and her cheerful blog posts.  We met up in a most unusual way!  I’m still in awe of how it happened. I finished my shopping at the mall and took a short cut to get to the parking lot.  The path led me through the food court.  The smell of Chicken Fajitas stopped me in my tracks.  I planned lunch elsewhere, but now I followed my nose. I chewed my first bite of chicken taco salad when, out of nowhere, a loud redhead moved rapidly past the tables and into the booth with me.  “I know you !”  She shouted.  I pondered if I knew this crazy lady.  Did she mistake me for someone else?  She shouted louder and stuck her finger in my face:  “ You’re Mary; you have a blog called Pile of Smiles and you live in the Verde Valley .”   It took me a second to compose myself.  I stopped chewing my food.  I know I stared too long at her face and then she said:...
