Happy Day!

Well, the years have clicked away and I have arrived at that milepost in time! I’m officially a senior citizen! But I don’t feel like one! I am reminded of Joshua. I like what he said and while I can’t truthfully say it, I’d like to keep working on it. :)

My hubby is giving me a GREAT gift for my birthday – his time! He is taking the day off to spend with me and I am thrilled to squealing out loud when he told me. I am blessed beyond! And grateful!

One thing I greatly miss though: my Momma and I used to race to see who could call the other one first. If I was first I would congratulate her for being my Momma and she would wish me a happy happy birthday. Someday we’ll have a heavenly party!

Friends, even if it is not your birthday, make this day count!

James 4:13-15 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such-and-such a city, stay there a year trading and make a profit”! 14 You don’t even know if you will be alive tomorrow! For all you are is a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If Adonai wants it to happen, we will live” to do this or that.

It’s a Momma’s  job to keep the home relaxed.

That statement my Friends was my first thought this morning even before the opening of my eyes. I am leaning toward this being a word from above. And if that be so I am certain this directive is to be done and can only be done in CHRIST JESUS.

My question to you dear Friends is what are your tried and tested Ways and Means of doing it? 

Yes, I am serious.

Happy Wednesday,

Still and Smiling

Gallery Leave a comment

Mother’s Days are not the same for me since my Momma went to Heaven; even so yesterday was a lovely day.  And I am grateful for every loved one that graced the day with me either by phone, text or face to face. Hubby and I lunched at Olive Garden and our server, Amanda, was a pleasure to meet. As the HOLY SPIRIT brings her to mind we will continue to pray for her. Yesterday was her Grandfather’s birthday but he slipped from this life earlier this year so she was concerned for her Grandmother; hoping her day would  not be overwhelmingly sad.

It is quiet at the Thompson house this morning. I hear distance traffic and the hum of the ceiling fan. And perhaps the whisper of the sewing machine calling me to come, sit and sew. That calling I suspect will get loud in just a bit. :)

Be Still

A phrase I keyed in at Bible Gateway dot-com. Seven references were found. Perhaps one is particularly familiar to you; it is to me.

Psalm 46:  10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

via Psalm 46:9-11 KJV;CJB – He maketh wars to cease unto the end of – Bible Gateway.

Oh Happy Day when He is exalted by those who now spurn Him; when all the peoples of the earth will exalt Him. I am eager for that day.

Psalm 4: 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

via Psalm 4:3-5 KJV;CJB – But know that the LORD hath set apart – Bible Gateway.

Do you know one of the meanings for the word Selah is stop and think about that? So I did. And what I think is if we stood in more awe of Him, we would sin less.

Mark 4:38-40 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

38 But he was in the stern on a cushion, asleep. They woke him and said to him, “Rabbi, doesn’t it matter to you that we’re about to be killed?” 39 He awoke, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind subsided, and there was a dead calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no trust even now?”

via Mark 4:38-40 KJV;CJB – And he was in the hinder part of the – Bible Gateway.

Have you ever walked in the den and found a little one fast asleep right there on the floor because he was just so tuckered out? You stood still and smiled for a moment, didn’t you? Can you imagine the LORD JESUS asleep on that ship? Why was He sleeping? And why did the Disciples awaken Him as they did? There was no standing still and smiling was there?

When JESUS appears to be quiet in one of our raging storms, do we accuse Him of being asleep? Do we accuse Him of not caring?  Perhaps if we stood still and smiled just for a moment, we wouldn’t. :)

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

ABBA, I pray for a still and smiling day for myself and our Dear Ones who come here to read. YESHUA, seeing You asleep was just too much for the Disciples in that moment, but they learned better and I pray so will we.
Still I ask You to heal Jamie and Terri and Lance and Rick (both of them); and others: Heather and the children. Leslie she would so like to go home from the hospital today and begin to gain strength. And the woman in the elevator yesterday and her husband – thank You for reminding me – they will need strength today and many other blessings, I pray this for them. And my Sisters in Blog land as they write and speak I pray for physical stamina, for wisdom and discernment and Your Anointing upon them. And for all of us in our ordinary extraordinary respective days, I pray for sweet surrender to Your LORDSHIP in all things.

Boundaries

Day 32 of 35  – Soul Detox

Matthew 16:21-28

Devotional

Matthew 16 shows us that one way to manage toxic relationships is to set healthy boundaries in the way Jesus did with Peter. You might need to tell that person that you won’t let them talk to you or treat you in a toxic way, or you may simply need to tell them that you are just not going to go to a toxic place in your relationship with them.
What types of healthy boundaries do you need establish in your relationships? How will you go about setting those boundaries?

My Momma would say we were not to hear a sermon with a pitch fork. And then she explained – hearing a message and rather than assimilating the message for what it means to ME, pitch over – apply it to someone else. 

27 For the Son of Man will come in his Father’s glory, with his angels; and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct.

via Matthew 16:21-28 CJB;NIV – From that time on, Yeshua began making – Bible Gateway.

EVERYONE.

Everyone includes YOU and ME.

The boundaries I set determine MY CONDUCT. And it is my conduct, if I am wise, that is my concern; for it is my conduct for which I will be repaid or rewarded.

Not many days remain with our Soul Detox study. Let us do some serious meditating as to changes in attitude, words and actions we must make.

ABBA, my mind is weary at times with choices and so often I have looked at the choices of others; seeing the boundaries they do not draw and I have been filled with emotions about it – some not healthy. Thank You for bringing this to my attention. I pray for a meditating heart; to meditate upon the boundaries I must draw in order to make right decisions and do the most good while I am here.
HOLY SPIRIT, guide us in prayer for the good of Others. The boundaries that must be drawn for holy, healthy, happy living. You know the faces I see – You see them too. Thank You again for this study; I pray it does its perfect work in me and every soul reading. And, ABBA, for every person who comes here to read and perhaps pray, I pray for them to be encouraged, inspired and, yes, even corrected as YOU will. I pray they will find You faithful in their trials of need, sickness, disease, lack, troubles and decisions of every kind. Thank You, YESHUA, for giving us Your LIFE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Amen and amen.
