Knowing the Time


Love worketh no ill to his neighbor:therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer rhan we believed.   -Romans 13:10-11

Yesterday I sat on the porch. First I sat on the back porch and then I sat on the front porch. It was quieter in the back. I looked up at the clouds.  I looked around at the greenery. I watched the birds fly. I read a few pages from a book. Although the day was cool the sun was bright and it was pleasantly warm. 

The front porch offers a wider few. I can see my neighbors yards and porches. Lots of beautiful hanging baskets. Laughter and conversation could be heard from across the street. The sun shining brightly but the air was cool. Fifteen minutes and my front porch sitting was over for the day. 

These days I try more earnestly to follow through on the things I used to just think about doing. Many days I'd think about going outside for a sit and didn't   Current events have brought many things into focus. Knowing the time, how quickly it passes helps me not take things for granted. 

I thank God for one more sunny day.  Another chance to breathe, to see, to touch, to hear. I praise God for the chance to be still and to know that He is God.   Knowing the time. 

God bless! 
In Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

    Be still and know that I am God... In all you see from the porch, I Am there!

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
