Game Feast



I’ve been cutting back on preparing a lot of meat recipes. My digestive system is happy and my husband has been a peach of guy telling me that my tuna casserole and refried beans are delicious. On the other hand, as soon as he heard the announcement for the Wild Game Feast in the men’s group at church, he signed up to go. Over 60 guys attended last Friday night and I enjoyed hearing how they devoured the venison, lion mountain stew and buffalo. My husband’s favorite was the elk enchiladas with jalapeño cream sauce. Macho guys!

When I picture those ravenous men devouring their delectable main course, I think to myself: “that is how I want to always yearn for the Word of God.” I envision a sit-down feast with everything my eager heart needs so I can be satisfied with a fulfilling portion. It’s a sure thing with God’s Word. He seems to know exactly what I need for the day at hand. I love the Hebrews 4:12 scripture: For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Are you like me, needing God’s Word every day? May you be uplifted and strengthened today. There’s more encouragement for you at Spiritual Sundays.

    Very good. I read three devotional books in the morning in addition to the Bible. It never fails to amaze me how the Scriptures selections speak to my needs. Thanks for posting.

    Yes, I am in need of God's Word every day. You have an inspiring site and I truly enjoy taking my shoes off and resting here a while. Thank you for visiting my blog site as well and for your thoughts and prayers. That means so very much to me. God certainly knows who to put us in contact with, doesn't He? His timing is always right.

    Peace,

The Lesson in the Middle

I wanted to dance when I heard the good news.  I don’t need surgery! When my doctor examined me last month, he suspected further care and sent me to a specialist in a city up north.  I had to wait only two weeks to get in to see him.  The specialist did not agree about surgery so I’m off the hook. I learned an important lesson about my faith journey in the middle of the two-week period of waiting for my appointment to see the specialist. I needed to be educated in medical knowledge and procedures so I could make a wise judgment for my future.  A friend suggested a support group with other women so I could glean info.  I joined.  I listened to their experiences and gained understanding.  I researched like crazy.  I became smart. I also became fearful and sometimes angry.  I screamed at Baby, our spirited cockatiel, to shut up when he screeched too much and I noticed my husband spent more time in his man cave. You kno...

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...
