Q is for Quiet...Peace and Quiet

Proverbs 1:32-33King James Version (KJV)

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Dear Friends,
Growing up in church "Blessed Quietness" was one of my favorite songs sung by the Senior Choir. "On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me and the billows cease to roll."  The words gave me such peace.  I could picture peace and quiet.  Jesus speaking to my childhood issues which looking back were problems, some of them not meant for a child to bear.  Jesus was back then and has remained My Hero.  Jesus. I was taught about Him. I heard songs about Him.  I could rest in the comfort and knowledge of His power through years of bullying.  Jesus. He gave me a family who loved me.  Jesus one day He would rescue from the monsters that loomed large on the outside.  Peace and quiet.  Through Jesus I am a witness it is possible even in the the midst of the storm.
Blessed quietness.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

  1. Joys are flowing like a river,
    Since the Comforter has come;
    He abides with us forever,
    Makes the trusting heart His home.
    • Refrain:
      Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
      Blest assurance in my soul!
      On the stormy sea, *Jesus speaks to me, [*He speaks peace to me,]
      And the billows cease to roll.
  2. Everything is turned to gladness,
    All around this glorious Guest;
    Banished unbelief and sadness,
    All is perfect peace and rest.
  3. Like the rain that falls from heaven,
    Like the sunlight from the sky,
    So the Holy Spirit given,
    Falls upon us from on high.
  4. What a wonderful salvation,
    Where we always see His face!
    What a peaceful habitation!
    What a quiet resting place!

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

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...

Blessed Are They That Believe

Luke 1:39-47 King James Version (KJV) 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43  And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings!  When...
