We Interrupt this Story...

We will return to our Epic  story on Monday, but there are times we just not to stop and rejoice!
Point your kids in the right direction-
when they're old they won't be lost.
Proverbs 22:6
September 15-16
It's time to rejoice with the angels in heaven!  This little one, a great niece of mine,  asked Jesus into her heart (all on her own) September 11th.  Our phone rang September 12th and this precious voice began to share the good news.  Just look at that smile!  Her parents have been praying for her since before she was born. They have made a very conscious effort to train her up in the ways of the Lord, so when God called to her in her bed last week...she answered.  
The following day her mother was reading a book to her and in the back of it was a prayer for salvation.  Her mother explained that someday she might want to consider praying such a prayer.  To her mother's amazement, she shared, "Oh, I've already done that. I asked Jesus into my heart last night in my bed." "You did?"  a bit taken back, her mother exclaimed.
Signed, sealed, delivered...this one will be in heaven! PTL
There is a wonderful scriptural memory based program called AWANA, this child has been attending.  Now that she has started school they have also learned about the after school ministry called "Good News Clubs." What we pour into our children is what comes out.


Our two month old grandson just enrolled in his first Bible Study Fellowship class!  Say what?  Yes, it is true.  This long running international Bible study program has an amazing children's ministry.  During the time the mothers are digging deep into the study of scripture, volunteers for the infant class rock these little ones, while singing and praying God's word over them.

Today lets join together and pray for parents, grandparents, relatives, teachers and friends will take seriously the call to train up the next generations to love the Lord!

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
