Our Father



"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
    - St. Matthew 6:9

Dear Friends,

Every day is Father's Day. I think of my father and the many lessons he taught me growing up. One of the greatest lessons he taught me was, "Be a lady."  

 My father took me to get my first library card. He taught me to dance.  He taught me how to debate. He encouraged my dreams. I knew my father loved me and supported me.  He still does, no matter what.

I know that every struggle my father overcame was by God's grace. I know that his marriage to my mother lasted 56 years by the grace of God.  

As we ready ourselves to celebrate Father's Day,  I thank Our Heavenly Father for blessing me with my earthly father. 

"My father prayed for me had me on his mind, took the time and prayed for me.  I'm so glad he prayed. I'm so glad he prayed. I'm so glad he prayed for me."

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
