Meat is in the Message

April 7
Help me Jesus!  Three years ago a treasured friend gave me a monthly calendar set for Christmas.  Each month has a Scripture verse done beautifully in calligraphy and bright colors. I've kept it in my dressing room and enjoyed it year after year.  On April 2nd, I realized I hadn't changed to the new month. Doing that, for some reason it FINALLY hit me that the dates on the calendar were no longer accurate!  DUH.  The lesson here is that in all this time, I haven't focused on the date, but the meat of the matter…the verses!
Thought I'd share these all with you today.
January- "The Lord says I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."  Psalm 32:8
February-"Let all that you do be done in love.  1 Corinthians 16:14
March- "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  2 Corinthians 12:9
April- "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:19
May-"She is clothed in strength and she laughs without fear of the future."  Proverbs 31:25
June-"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him." Jeremiah 17:7
July- "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."  Romans 12:21
August- "Above all, love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8
September-"Pray about everything worry about nothing."  Philippians 4:6
October- "But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord, 'You are my God.'"
November-"So do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will care for itself." Matthew 6:34
December- Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name, make known among the nations what He has done.  Tell of His wonderful acts.  1 Chronicles  16:8-9

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
