Not So

Without radio or TV playing, one in the kitchen can hear the voices of GRANDS in their respective bedrooms. And as Josh called out to Isabel to ‘come here’, a sweet thought came to me that perhaps will give you a moment of kind reflection or some encouragement.

When JESUS calls to us ‘come to Me’, it’s only a step for us because He has already come to where we are.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.

via Matthew 11:27-29 KJV;CJB – All things are delivered unto me of my – Bible Gateway.

Not always but sometimes we call out for someone to come to us because we are comfortable where we are and we don’t want to make the effort to go to them even though we have a message for them.

NOT SO with JESUS. He had/has a message for us but He does not call us to come a long distance to receive it – only a step – for He has already traveled the distance to meet us. HOW AWESOME is HE?! And how blessed a truth is this for us?

Blessings Dear Friends!

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, Thank You LORD YESHUA for coming the distance for us and thank You HOLY SPIRIT that You keep doing it for us. And I know You are doing so for GRACE in this moment. As I think about her agony as she grieves the death of her son, I know only You can get her though this season and so I pray; pray for her to just be in You and I pray for family and friends to come alongside and bless her with love and arms to lean on. And, ABBA, there may be others today with similar depths of grief, I pray for them too to take that step to Your comfort. For all the hurting who come to this page or for those who come bringing someone else in their heart, I pray for all of us to take that step and receive Your comfort. Thank You, LORD JESUS. amen and amen.

Its’ really quiet in the house . . . wonder if I should check on that? :)

Serving the Needy

20 She reaches out to embrace the poor and opens her arms to the needy.

via Proverbs 31 KJV;CJB – The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy – Bible Gateway.

I am privileged to know and love a Proverbs 31 Woman in the making! And just yesterday she lived out our verse for today. Please pray with me that others with more resources and more knowledge to garner resources will come forward to continue the work She helped begin yesterday for a young homeless mother with three children.

Thank you my Friends.

Blooming!!

I have narrowed the event as closely as I can at this time to sometime before June of 2011. Some of you may recall our diseased gardenia bush. The one we pruned to nubs and burned to rid it of the black shoot covering all the leaves.  To see the first posting click HERE; near the end of the post is the picture of the first bit of green after the pruning and the fire. And then at Remember the Pruning? post is a picture of more growth.

And today, June 11, 2013, finally! our FIRST bloom!!

imageAdmittedly, the bush is not full with the blush of health but the flower and fragrance are lovely!!

Galatians 6:9 So let us not grow weary of doing what is good; for if we don’t give up, we will in due time reap the harvest.

Beauty takes time, so stay with it!
