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

A MIND STAYED ON JESUS

  Proverbs 23:7a “ For as he thinketh in his heart, so  is  he:  Woke up this mornin' with my mind, my mind was stayed on Jesus. Woke up this mornin' with my mind, my mind was stayed on Jesus. Woke up this mornin' with my mind, my mind was stayed on Jesus. Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah. It is true this morning I woke up with my mind on Jesus. Throughout the night the Holy Spirit gave me songs. Songs of faith. Songs of encouragement. Songs to propel me to “keep on keeping on.” He gave me songs to underline scripture.  “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Early in the morning my song shall rise to Thee.” “Holy is Your Name. Holy is Your Name  Holy is Your Name in all the earth.” “Bless the Lord. O my soul. And all that is within me. Bless His Holy Name.” The Holy Spirit took me a little further. “Said I wasn’t gonna tell nobody but I just couldn’t keep it to myself, what the Lord has done for me.” Hold on! “Please be patient with me. God is not through with me yet.” Through t
