What a Difference a Day Makes




"The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise [child] shall have joy of him. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice." - Proverbs 23:24-25

Dear Friends,

 On March 7, 1990 my oldest daughter was born.  I remember when my father and mother came to visit us in the hospital.  Daddy said "what a difference a day makes" and wrote it on the board.  It is true that on that day twenty-six years ago my life was forever changed.  God blessed me with the greatest joy, the desire of my heart, motherhood.  

 From the moment my daughter arrived she has been teaching me.  Through the responsibility of taking care of her as an infant I learned to be more organized, more caring, more deliberate and became more affectionate.
During her toddler years, I learned pure laughter, the joy of discovery, and the meaning of unconditional love.  I learned what pure adoration and unconditional love are through her acceptance of me faults and all.
Each year of her life has revealed her character and she wears wisdom well.

 There are times I marvel that this young Christian woman with such a gentle spirit and strong faith is "my daughter."  I remember when she accepted Christ and was baptized.  No longer just mother and daughter, we then became sisters in Christ.

 Today I celebrate my daughter on this her birthday.  I thank her for being an example of the love and light of Christ.  I applaud her courage in standing firm in her faith and being consistent in her study of God's Word.  I pray for that as she continues to live and learn and grow in the knowledge of the Lord, her strength will increase.  

 A day does make a difference.  Experience joy in each day.  I thank God for choosing to answer my prayer to become a mother three times over.  It all started with Dayna!  (God is my judge).

 "May the Good Lord bless you! May the Good Lord bless you! May the Good Lord bless you!

 Happy birthday, dear Dayna!  Happy birthday to YOU! 

 "Delight thyself in the Lord Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." - Psalms 37:4

in Christ,

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

Believing God

  Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform  it  until the day of Jesus Christ:” Preparing for the next chapter. Cleaning the clutter inside and out.  Reevaluating priorities.  Seeking a revival.  Believing God.  Slowing down a bit.  Focusing on spiritual wellness.  Taking care of my business.  Exercising faith.  Believing God. Stopping to view the sunrise.  Appreciating the sunset.  Planting flowers.  Picking some… Believing God.  Being thankful.  Being kind.  Being… Just being. Believing God.  God bless. In Christ, Sis.
