This Is the Day


Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
     - James 4:13-15 King James Version (KJV)

Dear Friends,

This is the day. Don't put it off.  Make the call.  Send the email. Mail the letter. This is the day to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Procrastination is a tool that the enemy often uses to distract us from the tasks God has delegated to us.  We will get to it tomorrow.  Hard lesson: tomorrow is not promised. This is the day. Rejoice today. Love today. Forgive today. Encourage today.  

 There are times when I wish I could go back in time.  Just one more conversation. One more hug.  A little more time and chances to say "I love you."  The Psalmist tells us: "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." - Psalms 90:12  Today is the day. I cannot go back.  

 I pray Lord teach me to be mindful of the precious gift of each "today." Don't let me get so caught up in being busy that I neglect those things that are truly important.  Let me be deliberate.  Let me be intentional.  Let me be mindful always of the prompting of the Holy Spirit.  In the Name of Jesus I ask that You would forgive me for all times that I fall short and lift my head that I might not become bogged down in the thoughts of missed opportunities.  

 This is the day.  Right now.  This is the day.  Let us walk in the newness of life. Let us celebrate the chance to breathe, to inhale and exhale.  Let us renew our hearts and minds through the transformative power of the Word of God.

 Thankful. Blessed. Uplifted.  This is the day.
This is the day!

God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

 "Blessed be the ties that bind our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above."  -  hymn by John Fawcett 1782

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
