Keep Living




"For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." 
        - Romans 14:8

 Dear Friends,

 Growing up I often heard the expression from my elders, "keep living."  In youth problems seems few. Hearing folks talk about living from paycheck to paycheck seemed like a fairy tale.  Aching bones and failing eyesight seemed like an unlikely possibility.  Days of not being able to stay up all night and still rise up early in the morning full of energy were laughed at.  Yet, my contemporaries and I could hear our parents and others chide us "just keep living."

 Having been blessed to still be in the land of the living, I am thankful for bones that ache sometimes. Although, I can't see as clearly as I use to I thank God I can still see.  

 Whether young or old, whatever station in life you find yourself in...keep living.  Live your life in a state of joy and thanksgiving. 

  "For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." 
        - Romans 14:8

 Keep living!  Living for the Lord!

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

THANKFULLY

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
