The King

Can you read the fine print above? "I will walk worthy of my calling."    

In order to keep up with some of our children's lives we have to tune into Instagram to catch the action and fun photos and videos. It has taken me a while to grasp that this means I am going to see a whirlwind of ads and the unsolicited going ons of other people's lives as well.  For some reason it seems that daily a "reel" of Prince William and his wife, Kate, pops up.  From appearances, one would deduce that she has taken to the calling of  being a princess very well.

Do we walk like the royalty we are?  Children of the King!

Somewhere I saw this post of the words Priscilla Shirer prays over her sons daily.

You Will

You will be a man of integrity, character and honesty.

You will love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your  strength.

You will put on the full armor of God so that you can stand first against the schemes of the devil.

You will be the head, not the tail.

You will be above. You will not be beneath.

You will be a leader. You will not be a follower.

You will have the mind of Christ because of the Spirit of God lives within in you.

You will remember that you are not made to fit in with the crowd…never have been, never will be. You will remember that you are different and set apart.

You will bless the Lord at all times and praises will be in your mouth.


As heirs with Christ 1 Peter 1:4 describes this inheritance as imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.  Now there's a reason to shout hallelujah today.  We should walk in a manner reflective of our calling.

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
