Spiritual Sunday



The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the Lord, who is worth of praise,
And I am saved from my enemies.
Psalm 18: 2,3

These are the words of David and he sang them to the Lord when he was delivered from Saul and his enemies. These are my words today, too. I know I can take refuge in God, my rock. The photo of Coffee Pot Mountain was taken last weekend when my girlfriend, Peggy, hiked in Sedona.

Have a wonderful Sunday, my friends. May the Lord bless you richly. Sundays are inspiring at Spiritual Sundays, thanks to Charlotte and Ginger.

    Oooooo - - You just have to love those red Sedona rocks!

    It's a powerful analogy, isn't it? The Rock that is our Lord is such a strong tower, such a source of refuge and safety. It's impossible to be reminded TOO MUCH of that truth. Thank you!

    Hugs,
    Kathleen

    Oh, I love the geography of the west! I've seen those mountains during a visit to Sedona and feel such excitement seeing them again!

    To have such rocks as a majestic reminder of our Rock. Awesome, indeed!

    What a wonderful illustration, Mary! I can't believe we were just up there yesterday ... it just takes one's breath away, doesn't it?
    'Finally visited Jerome (and the Haunted Hamburger) today. My, but that ride up THAT hill inspires one's faith, doesn't it?

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 ...

Marriage Tip #44: Do What He Wants

I thought about our upcoming anniversary.   I prayed one morning for the marriages in my family, and a sentence about my own dropped in my spirit:  “ Do What He Wants .”  I paused, “Really?”  He’s his own man.  What if I end up in the wilderness camping by night and target shooting by day?  What if a coyote decides to have me as a late night snack? We celebrated our anniversary early this year, Before the kids come next week.   And we did it his way . This is how it happened. I never asked him about a plan or even mentioned our day.  I remember how it all unfolded at the roundabout just as we drove into Sedona.  He asked me if I would like to go to a baseball game.  I responded excitedly, “Yeah!”  Before the day was over, he purchased tickets for a Diamondbacks home game. He printed them out.  He booked a hotel room so we wouldn’t have to drive home from the city after the late evening game. ...

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 ...
