Today Is A Beautiful Day

Romans 5:1-6

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day.  I enjoyed watering my plants and cleaning counters and washing clothes. Wow, you might think, that doesn't sound  very exciting.  Yet, I looked at the nice bushy ferns and the spider plant my friend potted for me and I thought, "I am so blessed to be able to have running water, and the strength and presence of mine to do these tasks.”

Just as I  water the plants and they continue to grow, the Lord continues to "water" me. I smiled with gratitude and looked to see what I could do next.

I have learned to look for the joy in the usual, in the everyday, in what seems to be mundane. When I started paying closer attention to the small things I was able to more fully appreciate Mighty God.  God pays attention to details.  Everything and everyone is important to God.  I have quoted my grandmother on other occasions: "Steph it don't get too big or too small that I don't go to God."  My grandmother was a wise woman. 

Today is a beautiful day.  God made it.  I am going to rejoice and be glad.  Justified by faith I have peace.  I have access by faith to the amazing grace that leads me on.  Today is a beautiful day. Patiently waiting  and hoping each day.  Thanking God.  Today is a beautiful day.

God bless!

in Christ,

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
