Talk the Talk...Walk the Walk

Dear Friends,

Just Talking About - by sdktyus@2018

Say a kind word to a stranger
Encourage a soul in despair
Reach out to a friend who is wandering
Remind your loved ones of how much you care

Pray for those who are forgotten
Show mercy to those who offend
Speak life when you have opportunity
Power of life in kind words to a friend

Do not stoop to a level of gossip
Do not relish in what is unkind
Do not just talk of being a Christian
Be a doer and let your light shine

Speak love
Speak hope
Speak faith
Walk each day in the same
Faith, hope, love these three
Let love be the greatest aim

God bless!
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...
