The Greatest Gift...


The Greatest Gift

11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
12 And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.

Luke 2:11-14


I am very thankful for the Savior and Lord of my Life..... He has changed me and provided grace, love and mercy in my life beyond comprehension !! I owe everything to him and as we embark on change in our immediate life and a new venture as scary as it is, I am honored to serve him. I am honored and blessed !!!!

As I woke this morning, I had some time to actually meditate and write and pray before the girls got up to celebrate this wonderful Christmas morning and I have to say wow how this has all just flown by. I think of the Scripture Life is but a vapor then it's gone.....
14 whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
My how time does fly. We got to visit family for all of 4 days, for Christmas and it was soooo short. 
You don't really get to talk to anyone much, just small talk and then it's time to do something else or eat, ect... time flies !!! I miss my family already. I think of my mom and how frail she has become in just such a short while and it makes me sad, so sad, but life is but a vapor then it's gone... I could go on and on.... because I love my mom and it's such a tender subject in my life right now, but I want to ask you something.....
Do you know Jesus Christ? Have you made him Lord of your Life? Have you submitted to him? Yes, sometimes it's hard to submit to another, to a higher power, but that is what has to be done. 
This Christmas, give him the greatest gift...submit and accept his love, his gift to you was his life...give him yours this year.

Just One Towel in this Privileged Life.

Image
 I was joking with my niece the other day about the kids keeping their towel that they swim with and re-using it. She joked back and said and you get one towel for the shower all week too.  I am sure I might have said that at some point. Encouraging less waste and holding on to your towel and using it more than once.  Maybe it is unusual in this privileged life we lead.  Yes I said privileged life as we have so much here in America, we waste so much and it's okay that is what we do. But is it really? I recently got to travel and let me tell you we stayed at an AIR BNB which was someone's home and guess how many towels they gave us for a 3 day stay? 1 towel each. Not per day, but for the whole stay. I have stayed with others who also do that. So it isn't uncommon in other countries or in this country to use one towel for a few days.  So I started thinking what else... well in other countries  It isn't uncommon to ride public transportation all over everyday.  A majority

The garden of life..

As I was doing my devotion this morning, lots of things on my mind and as I was writing my prayers I wrote something like this... As I stumble through the weeds and briers of life dear Lord, please help me see the flowers among all the brush, help me to come out unharmed, unscratched and with the hope only you can give. I began to think how life is like that. Often coming upon obstacles that knock our feet out from under us and how we must go on and do the best we can. Each day IS NEW and we choose how we re-act to all the briers and weeds that try to smother out the sunshine. Hoping that bud underneath will bloom into the beautiful flower it could be.    As I began to pray, I thought about my husband and how he is such a blessing to others. How people want to glean from his happiness, his joy and want to be in his presence because of the positive vibes, good counsel and hope that he has. I am thankful for him and what he stands for!! What a light he has, although he has not always

What Matters in the end...

I recently was asked to give my testimony. I really do not like doing it because it makes me feel like I am giving a history of my life basically. With all the dysfunction and problems exposed and out in the open. But more importantly than the vulnerability is the fact that I really do not want people to feel sorry for me. The look in their eyes when I give my testimony is something I would really rather not see. I tell myself though by giving my testimony I might help someone else along the way who might be dealing with or have dealt with some of the same things I am. This time though, I did it a little different. I gave God the glory and reminded everyone that my story is really His Story in that he did an amazing work in me. I say that because I remember where he brought me from. Do you remember where he brought you from? I like the scripture "he brought me out of the miry pit" Psalm 40:2. That would have to be my life verse. As I am reminded my life could have went eit
