Spiritual Sundays


Don’t you love it when you hear praise reports of healing? I’ve been a part of a team of intercessors praying for a woman named Sharon. Several months ago, we were told Sharon’s physician suspects last stage cancer; he told her to make final preparations. But we stood on God’s promises of healing. Yesterday, I received the latest email update regarding Sharon’s last surgery. This is what it said:

Originally her diagnosis was bleak. The mass was the size of a grapefruit, elongated, affecting they feared, her stomach and at least one kidney. Days before the surgery she suffered a bad migraine and began vomiting which caused more suspicion regarding cancer, possibly pointing to more tumors. Once the surgeon was inside he determined the mass was non-malignant and in fact was basically fatty tissue. One kidney was consumed and required removal but in a nutshell, she is CANCER-FREE! Sharon is telling everyone she's the recipient of a miracle. Her surgeon was dumbfounded by the results of the surgery. As intercessors you and I know the power of faith based prayer, of heartfelt petitions!




I’m rejoicing today that God heals! Jesus was the expression of God’s willingness to heal. In Matthew 4:23, it says: “And Jesus went about Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”

There is a balm in Gilead, Lord, and you are the One who brings healing to the human body.

Be sure to join Charlotte and Ginger at Spiritual Sunday. There you will find Christian bloggers who contribute inspirational writings to encourage us in our walk with Jesus Christ.

  13. You make me think ..hope
    hope that perhaps the white spots in the brain matter that hinder me might just be healed...
    I think I lost that hope as the symptoms worsen.

  20. Amen it is so powerful when we hear of how God has healed someone. Let me share a quick miracle with you. My daughter had been married a year of so and wanted to have a baby well the dr said there was no way they would ever have a baby. They started saving money for an adoption and laid their prayer of a baby on the alter one night at church. A few months later what the drs said would not happen and my granddaughter is a living testiment to God's precious power and the power of prayer

  23. Dear Mary,
    I wanted to stop by and introduce myself...I am Debbie, Amy's mother and Sherry's sister at countrywingsinphoenix but most of all a child of the Lord Jesus Christ on my own journey that he has set before me.
    I wanted to thank you ever so much for all the prayers for Amy you have lifted up to our Father God. She needed and felt everyone of them.
    I love your smile and I can tell the Holy Spirit dwells within.
    PRAISE GOD FOR HIS HEALING POWER ON THIS WOMAN YOU HAVE BEEN INTERCEDING FOR AND ALL THOSE NEEDING HEALING.
    It is such a pleasure to meet you.
    I love to pray if you ever need me

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:...

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...

Hitched to a Rough Road

Photo Credit:  Peggy James I got his email and wanted to shout:  “Hey, buster, does the phrase “continued behavior pattern” mean anything to you?  But I didn’t. Travis is at it again.  His email revealed a litany of complaints about our neighborhood, our country road, our board officers, bad decisions made that will cost him money , yada-yada-yada . Travis is a Christian brother but you’d never know it. He is a large, loud man who shoots his mouth off as often as he shoots his guns back here in the hills.  He interrupts at our road meetings and, like a typical hothead, he speaks truth but with a tone that makes me feel like I need to duck in case some of his words fly at me and smack me upside the face. I thought we were making progress, but we’re not. It is our rough road that brings us together .  Last year we picked up the neglected pieces of our road association.  We agreed to assemble once again to talk, make decisio...
