The ABC's of Life Day 6

-
When this cute thing arrived last Monday, we loaded up a Kroger credit card
and told him he'd be doing his own shopping while here.
August 8
He's doing great learning comparison shopping skills and how to check expirations dates.
If you read Day 3 where I mentioned him talking me into buying him an ice coffee...
you will laugh that I'm very close to consuming the first cup of coffee in my life.
Keeping up with a seven year old boy, 24-7 isn't for sissies!
He does have a sincere heart for the Lord though, which helps. 
We are only on the letter "R" in his journal, but wanted to finish these off for you.

Day 6

U-Under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
    Psalm 91:4

V-"Very truly I tell you, the one who believes had eternal life."
    "I'm telling you the most solemn and sober truth now: Whoever believes in me has real life,
     eternal life."
    John 6:47

W-We love because He first loved us.
     We, though, are going to love-love and be loved.  First we were loved, now we love.
     He loved us first.
    1 John 4:19

X-Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord!
    Let's take a good look at the way we're living and reorder our lives under God.
    Lamentations 3:40

Y-You are the light of the world a city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
     Matthew 5:14
    "Heres another way to put it: You're here to be light, bring out the God-colors in the world.  God is 
     not a secret to be kept.  We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill.  If I make you
     light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you?  I'm putting you on a 
     light stand.  Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand-shine!  Keep open house;
     be generous with your lives.  By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God,
     this generous Father in heaven. 
      Matthew 5:14-16

Z- Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments O Lord.
     Zion, you listen and take heart!  Daughters of Zion, sing your hearts out: God has done it all!
     Psalm 91:8

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...
