WITH A TOUCH OF SILVER

 

Zechariah 13:9

 

“And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.”

We had a silver Christmas tree when I was growing up.  There was a color wheel which rotated to throw colored light onto the tree.

I think I was around ten years old when the silver tree appeared. Prior to that we had green trees.

It was a novelty. 

No one else in our part of the “projects”had one.

We put bulbs on the tree. 

I loved the red bulbs the most.

We also threw silver ice sickles on our tree. 

It has been said that silver has always been one of man’s symbols of peace.

The peaceful silver tree. I would sometimes just sit and look at it. I always felt a little sad when we took the tree down on December 31.

Now reflecting on those Christmases I feel so blessed. 

Our family formed special memories, in the days of the silver tree.

 I found a semblance of peace and joy with a touch of silver.

Even when presents were few, we knew the true meaning of Christmas.

The presence of Jesus Christ.

I picture heaven to be sparkling with silver and gold and precious gems.

I thank God for a glimpse of eternity as I remember our silver tree.

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
