Ties That Bind

Psalm 139:12-14 King James Version (KJV)

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Dear Friends,

Seven years ago in December I started the blog under the name Unique Inspiration.  Many years ago Unique Inspiration was issued as an inspirational newsletter and gracious individuals such as the late Gertrude Ribbins allowed me to make the free publication available in her bookstore.  

One day while sitting at my computer the Holy Spirit whispered to my spirit, "I'm changing the name." I asked, "to what?" The response: "Tysthatbind." From that day on the blog has been published under that title.  

There are so many ties that bind us together in life.  Some are obvious and pleasant.   Love, friendship, community, family, are ties that bind.  Memories, good and bad can bind us.  Hope, faith, grace, mercy are ties that bind.  Fellowship is a binder.  
One of the strongest ties that binds my life together was and is my relationship with my mother.  It was in honor of her that the blog began. Ma, my biggest cheerleader. Ma, whose womb was my first home. Ma, who gave unconditional love. Ma, who was my safe place. Ma, nobody like her.  So many times mothers are taken for granted.  We think they will always be there. If you are blessed to still have your mother, cherish each moment. If mom has passed away, cherish each memory. Moments and memories.  Both are ties that bind.
God bless!
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
