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 ...

The Daisy House

I work at my desktop with the children at my feet.  A makeshift area rug made of white butcher paper lines the floor where the baby, crayon in hand, imitates her big sister.  Sister focuses on the finishing touches of the house she designed.  The catchy children’s song, Wheels of the Bus, blasts from the Toddler Station on Pandora Radio. Six year old Sookie unveils her masterpiece and I ooh and awe at the sketch.  “It’s a daisy house!”  I exclaim.  “I love the colors.  I wonder what the inside looks like.”  Without hesitating, Sookie describes each room.  “There are five rooms and they are all different colors.  One is Mint Chip, another Strawberry.  There is a Vanilla room, and a Cookies & Cream room and the last room is Rocky Road.  You have to wear a sweater inside because it is very cold.” “A house made of ice cream,” I reply.  “It sounds heavenly!” I dug into my Bible readings that morning ...

At Sunset, Another Passover

I met Carol at our writers group.  The last hour after critique in our round table discussion, I learned Carol owned the late, famous Himalayan cat, Joshua!  Artists in Sedona remember Joshua because he often attended their presentations!  Joshua loved people.  A local newspaper article gave him credit for raising money for the humane society.    Carol spoke affectionately about Joshua.  He was more than a showman.  He was her beloved pet.  My favorite story involves the little boy visiting the art gallery where Carol displayed her art.  The boy’s sister held and cuddled the cat while the little boy told Carol that he longed to hold him but is allergic and watched enviously from a distance.  “Oh, honey, you can hold Joshua.  He’s hypoallergenic,” Carol corrected.  She went on to share how the little guy got permission from his dad and had the best time cuddling Joshua to his face.  When the family gathe...
