Take Care


"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." 
     - Galatians 6:9-10

Dear Friends,

Today is a day of celebration for me.  It is my youngest brother's birthday. He is my brother, my brother in Christ and my dear friend.

I celebrate His gifts and on today his gift of "taking care" which falls under hospitality.  Often the caretakers are overlooked, under valued and seldom celebrated. Yet, their role in our families, in our churches and in the community is a necessity.  Their ability to function a gift.

Yesterday evening  at Bible study the Pastor lifted up two qualities that should be possessed by leaders. They are service/slavery.  The slave portion may throw some off. Yet in the context of the Christian who serves the cause of Christ and submits his/her own will to His is a necessity.  Service, true service putting the needs of another before our own.  This is what Jesus modeled for us while on earth.

Take care, care takers.  For those like my brother who serve without expectation, who give without measure and love without condition are the leaders we need.  I have learned much from him.

Happy Birthday Brother!  May God ever take care of you as you have taken care of so many others.

You are loved.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

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
