Word Filled Wednesday

Yesterday was one of those unique days where some highs and lows were hit! The day started beautifully with a day off from work, my husband and I spent the morning outside doing yard work - pulling up dead grass and weeds, putting fresh mulch in the flower beds etc., it felt so good getting things accomplished. Later in the day, I started feeling a little queasy, the youngest son had a stomach virus over the weekend and I was hoping no one else would get it. The husband had to go to work and the virus did hit. The night was spent sick, feverish and just plain miserable. But, it seems that those viruses come and go quickly. Today is a new day, God is still in control and worthy of praise. That is a sure fact that can make our hearts rejoice!

    I love the reminder that it is Jesus who reigns forever and Jesus alone!

    I hope your family feels better soon. So much disgusting virus stuff going on everywhere. It seems everywhere I click I read about it. It almost makes me feel like I should Lysol my keyboard. Ha!

    love it that you can fill that way even after being sick I hope that you are feeling better.

    When you were speaking of you and your husband outside working in the yard it brought back memories of my parents and their shared love of yardwork

    your first verse fit so perfectly with our ash wednesday sermon. instead of being ashamed, embarassed or indifferent to the ashes placed on our head...and more importantly the grace and sacrifice for which they stand, we are to boldy wear them into our lives...sharing the meaning and Jesus with all who ask.

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...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
