A Reason to Praise the Lord





"Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift."
     - II Corinthians 9:15

Dear Friends,

"When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all He's done for me..." I have a reason to praise the Lord. I thank God for His unspeakable gifts.  I thank the Lord for life, health and strength.  Unspeakable gifts.

I praise God for His infinite grace, mercy and unfailing love.  I thank Him for the gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Unspeakable gifts.

I thank God for family, friends and for all those who have touched my life and for the lives He has allowed me to touch.  Unspeakable gifts.

"Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people." 
    - I Chronicles 16:8   

Unspeakable gifts!

"Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness." - Psalms 30:4

Unspeakable gifts!

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:
 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night," - Psalms 92:1-2

Unspeakable gifts! Blessings beyond measure.  I have a reason to praise the Lord.

"My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."
 - Psalms 32:2-4

Unspeakable!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
