Books and Cover

 

Colossians 3:23

 

“And whatsoever ye do, do itheartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”

I love books. 

Reading is my passion. 

One of my fondest memories is when my father took me to get a library card. 

A book covered in polka dots was the first I checked out. 

I don’t remember anything about the story but I will never forget the cover. 

Needless to say I did, contrary to popular advice, judge the book by its cover. 

So it is in life. 

The cover, the first impression often determines the continuation of an encounter. 

Sometimes it’s a look. 

At other times it a tone or sound of one’s voice. 

There are times when a smile or empathetic look gets another’s attention. 

There is a scripture that says “we live our lives as a tale that is told.”

I pray that my “cover” is pleasing to the Lord. 

Let the content of my life reflect the love of Christ. 

This is my prayer. 

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
