Home and In Love!

I am home and in love and more in love.

Savannah, Georgia, particularly the Historic District and more particularly The Mulberry Inn have etched a place in my soul.  I am longing to return there, this time with my beloved husband and the two of us stay for a few days. I’ve even reminded the LORD that Hubby and I will be glad to minister the Gospel as we walk, visiting those beautiful places. :) He knows I’m not kidding!

And then it was on to North Charleston, South Carolina. We saw very little of South Carolina but we heard ABBA through His choice servant, Beth Moore, and that made the many miles worth it all. Beth was tough on us and we needed it! That’s why I say I am home more in love.

And this morning I began a new study. A Housewife Desperate for God by Mariel Davenport. And with the Introduction and Day One I am delighted! I hope you will check it out and see what it’s about for yourself.

One of the passages Mariel took me to today was 2 Timothy 3:16-17. A very familiar passage. You know it well, don’t you?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

via 2 tim 3:16-17 NASB – All Scripture is inspired by God and – Bible Gateway.

See that word adequate? How many times have you felt inadequate? If you are like me, many! How many times have you put yourself down, speaking how inadequate you are? If you are like me, many! Shame on us!

We are more than adequate! We are equipped! In JESUS name we are equipped for every good work He has called us to – today!

How’s that for good news?!

Love and smiles to you and prayers for you my Friends –

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

Third Sunday in August

Roast is in the oven; beans on the stove. Summer with the GRANDS is done. Monday morning is less than 24 hours away. Beds are unmade, dust is settled on all the surfaces, friends have been ignored for 2 and half months. A Bible study class waits to be prepared, a trip is to be planned and enjoyed. A row of garments at parade rest – an ironing closing in; buckets to be ousted; curtains to be brought down and replacements to be hoisted. Miles to be walked, pounds to be shed. Patterns to be cut; fabric to be stitched, yarn to be fashioned – orange and blue. Floors to be mopped, carpet to be swept again and again and on and on  — how to take hold — it’s a matter for prayer.  

Wishing you a productive and positive week.  See you in Sunday School …

Do It Now

On my way to do something that I deemed more important, I saw a hair clip and a pony tail holder resting on the dressing counter.  A split second and it could be in the drawer. And so it was. And with it came this thought:

Do it now. On your way to doing matters of greater importance, do the little things.

Ephesians 4:32 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

via Eph 4:32 KJ21 – and be ye kind one to another, – Bible Gateway.

Do I Dare?

Tomorrow’s Sunday School lesson which I am preparing to lead is entitled: The Decision Dare. And I am questioning myself do I dare put forth all my notes for discussion.

For my question: I am wondering have we done the church and possibly the world an injustice, damage even, by fostering the idea that worship is coming to church participating in singing, and listening to a preacher? Is that worship? Really what is worship?

First, we know worship must have an object to either receive the worship or at least something to which we give it.  Still, what is worship? And what are we giving to this something in worship?

We walk in. Sit down. Stand up. We sing a few songs. We sit down. We pass the plate. We throw in some money. We stand up. We shake hands. We sing some more. We sit down. We listen to a message. We sing another song. We go home. Is that worship?

We do this once a week. Some twice a week and some fanatics (of which I am one, for the most part) do it three times a week. Is that as often as worship occurs? Is that as often as GOD deserves? Is He pleased with that? Are you?

Happy Saturday, my Friends.
