So Much To Be Thankful For

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.    - Colossians 3:15 


I have so much to be thankful for. During this time of uncertainty, I am thankful for Faithful God. In the midst of so much chaos and unrest, I am thankful for peace that surpasses understanding. I am thankful to have a thankful heart. For I have learned in 2020 how much I have taken for granted. Have I guarded my heart?

I have learned that you can have thankful thoughts and relish in thankful moments, glad tidings. But God had to shake some things up.  He moved some things out of the way.  He put other things and people out of reach.  

God has been asking me some searching questions.  When the Holy Spirit informs you that God wants your whole heart, thankful mind is quick to say yes because you're grateful that God is speaking. 

Thankful heart journeys have you going for broke.  2020 has revealed the need to stay wrapped in the garment of praise. I am choked up with thanksgiving because I realize God loves me and I don't deserve His grace.  Yet, He keeps amazing me.

When I "think thankful" a wheel starts moving in my heart and my heart tells my spirit: O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD! The Lord is Good. And that my soul knows right well.

God bless!

In Christ.

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

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...

Blessed Are They That Believe

Luke 1:39-47 King James Version (KJV) 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43  And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings!  When...
