THE LAW OF KINDNESS

 

Proverbs 31:26

“She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.”


We were young together.

We grew up together.

I thought we would grow old together.

God had another plan.

Heaven came sooner for my sister.


My sister, Gretchen. 

My one and only sister.

It is hard to believe.

It has been eight years.

November 12, 2015.


Seems like a short time ago that we played jacks on the kitchen floor.

Then there were the times she would sing loudly.

I would ask my mother to make her stop.

This was until she hit a beautiful note one day.

I never complained about her singing again.


Her anointed soprano voice blessed many.


“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee.

How great Thou art. How great Thou art.”

I can still hear her voice.


Gretchen left a legacy.

The fruits of the Spirit were evident in her life.


She was a kind person.

The most kind I have been blessed to know.


My life was made richer by her presence.

Even in her absence, the memory of her blesses me.


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
