Remembering




January 13, 2016
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also."  - St. John 14:18-19


Dear Friend,
The Lord has a way of reminding us.  On days when I feel alone and sad, the Holy Spirit will deposit  a song in my heart: "Because he lives I can face tomorrow, because He lives all fear is gone...I know Who holds my future and life is worth the living, just because He lives!"  The presence of the Lord's Spirit does not stop there, I can hear Him whisper, the truth of the matter has been written -- "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye see me; because I live..."  - St. John - 14:18-19 cf   

 Today is one of those days when I needed to be reminded.  The reminders for times like this are not entered in my multiple email calendars.  There is no material alarm clock that can stir me to action.  "In times like these I need a Savior.  In times like these, I need an Anchor.
All of a sudden I lean in and listen closely and Holy Spirit, The Anointed Reminder will issue an alert through the memory of a scripture or a faint echo of a song.  Comforted by the Comforter on days when I feel alone He reminds me that I am not.  He comes to me as only He can and suddenly I find myself remembering....I am never alone.



God bless!

 Blest Be the Tie that Binds - John Fawcett
(Public Domain)
1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above. 
2 Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares. 
3 We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear. 
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again. 
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day. 
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
