Snowflakes Falling from the Sky

 Isaiah 55:10-11

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Our lives like snowflakes are each unique and intricate in design.  Snowflakes fall lightly or in a more hurried fashion.  Snow creates blankets or may appear in a blizzard.  It is most beautiful in white but not so much when it becomes gray and slushy.  Some of us rejoice when it appears. Others while perhaps in awe, dread looking out and seeing it accumulate in several inches.  Yet, snowflakes fall from the sky at God's command.  The flakes like rain droplets have a purpose and neither questions the Lord when He says: "Let it rain or let it snow."  Each drop, each flakes appears to accomplish God's purpose.

Today in many cities including mine, the forecast is for heavy snow and high wind gusts.  We are endeavoring to stay warm and safe. We trust Our Heavenly Father to make it so.  Snowflakes are falling from the sky.  I pause to think how I desire God to reign in my life. I desire for Him to "rain down" and shower me with blessings.  

Sometimes the blessings may seem barely visible. They appear like drizzles of rain.  Other times I am overwhelmed by the thoughts of blanket and blizzard blessings that cover my life and the lives of my loved ones.  Sometimes the blessings are like a blizzard.  They are so massive.  I thank God for His many blessings however they appear.  I know that each blessing is miraculous and fashioned by God's Almighty hand.

Snowflakes are falling from the sky.  May they remind us of the might and majesty of God.  They will get the job done that has been assigned.  May we be as receptive to the Word of God.  Let there be...

Grant Lord that your plan for us be fulfilled. Accomplish Your will in our lives is our prayer. In Jesus name we pray.  Amen.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

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...
