Thursday's Bible Verse

Word Filled Wednesday is a blog highlight of my week! I love sharing and seeing God's Word come alive with beautiful pictures, it rejoices my soul and revives my heart for the week!

The last two days have been pretty full and I missed WFW this week. Let me share a little bit about the last few days. I have been wanting a laptop computer for a while now. It would help as my blogging and writing increase, to keep those things separate from the family computer. Not to mention that with a husband and three sons who all like to use the computer, my time on it is quite limited! After doing much research online, Tuesday my husband and I were able to find a good deal on one! This is my first laptop, (I'm so technically challenged), but after great assistance from my sister in law Danell setting it up, we are good to go.

While I stayed home to set the laptop up, my husband took our youngest son to baseball practice. When they got home, my son was playing around with the other boys and taken a fall to the ground and hurt his shoulder. He complained about it for a while and we sent him to bed hoping it would get better overnight. The next morning, the first words out of his mouth, were, "My shoulder hurts." So, to the doctor we went, then to the hospital for x-rays, then back to the doctor. Turns out it is a cracked collarbone. So, he is in a sling and is not to do any sports, PE or active play for two weeks.

So now Thursday finds us back to school and work, but I still wanted to share a portion of Scripture which blessed me this week.

Psalms 139:1-6
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

What a wonderful reminder that God sees us and knows us. He knows our thoughts, our motives, our activities and our words. And even through the good and the bad, He loves us. He hedged us behind and before. He knows what is ahead of us and behind us and He has us securely right in the middle How wonderful is that???

    I love that thought..that God knows everything about me - every detail - AND He still loves me!! When I begin (again) to be so self-condemning..I remind myself of these verses!

    Sorry to hear about the collar bone - we did that exact injury..even sent my son to bed the night before...oh, sorry. Hope it heals quickly.

    Enjoy that laptop (I'm jealous) :)

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
