Spiritual Sundays ~ Peter's Shadow


My friend was excited about attending a healing service in one of those mega auditoriums with a famous TV evangelist. I admire those special servants of God who are willing to pray for the sick to be healed. When faith arises in those huge gatherings of believers, God can do the impossible. It is exciting; I’m glad she got to go!

In Acts 5:15 it says: As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

It is God who is the healer and He works through His vessels that have the faith to believe and take Him at His Word.

I have a prayer need, but I don’t think I necessarily have to ask a big name to intercede. Everybody in the body of Christ is a big name because we belong to the head which is Jesus. I recognize that there are some who God uses regularly to pray for the sick. I have seen many healings because of the faith of the Christian bloggers over the months. I love hearing testimonies of what God has done! The faith and love in the Body of Christ never ceases to amaze me.

When I was in California a few weeks ago, I attended Susanna’s pediatrician appointment and we pointed out a bump above her left eye that we noticed back in November. The doctor called it a cyst and did not seem overly concerned about it. She measured it and documented it but since it is not bothering Susanna, she told us to wait. My daughter remarked: “Mom, let’s cover this with some heavy-duty prayer; that cyst doesn’t need to be there.” So I ask for your prayers for my granddaughter, Susanna, today.


Here is a close up photo and you can view the bump over her left eye.

Thank you, my friends, for praying for us.

  14. Lifting this little sweetie in prayer today for sure. Just thought I would mention that one of my sons has had many such harmless cysts removed very easily (from various different places)....others he has just left as they were causing no problem. I will definitely pray for wisdom for your doc. and peace of mind for both you and your daughter. Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Debbie

  21. My daughter and I just prayed over her. We commanded that cyst to dry up in the Name of Jesus and we prayed that nothing would hinder this beautiful child from growing up to be a might woman of God!

  24. You and yours come to mind often, Mary. Knowing how rugged your journey has been in recent months, I'm sorry to hear another concern has come to call.

    There must be something absolutely amazing the Lord has in mind for this little one. Surrounded by a praying Mom & GrandMom, and now a large cross section of cyberspace, He is up to something good. He always is.

    Thank you for sharing the darling photo, as well as your heart.

    Hugs,
    Kathleen

    God bless you all!

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 ...

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...

God Created Me!

Today is not only the last day of January, it’s my birthday.  You’re invited to my party!  I’ve got cake, ice cream, presents, and some inspiration about getting older!  Join me for some smiles. “Old people should not eat health food. They need all the preservatives they can get!” Robert Orben “As a graduate of Zsa Zsa Gabor School of  Mathematics , I honestly do not know how old I am.” Erma Bombeck Why did Mattel choose “curvy” Barbie to hit the shelves today, on my birthday? Sookie designed a birthday card depicting me in blue skies, with the sun shining.  I look like I’m singing and the grass is very green, just sayin’. Leave it to kids to boost our self esteem.  Hope my granddaughter will always think I’m budafull.  The family party filled my love tank to full.  They chose my favorite: white cake with white frosting!  I know, b.o.r.i.n.g.  It’s what I like; correct me if I’m wro...
