Prov. 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will direct your path. Be not wise in your own eyes depart from evil.
My interests lie in my GOD, the bible, my family, writing & people.
My gifting shows some of the great humor of YHWH, the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
I am profoundly hearing impaired in conversational tones but am very active in the hearing world. I have no interaction with the deaf, though a few friends are hard of hearing.
Many years ago the LORD told me when I was crying out to HIM about not fitting in large social settings that HE had not made me for that.
Later YHWH, the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY defined my gifting in Ps. 50:4,5
The LORD has given me the tongue of one who has learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season (according to their need) to the one who is weary. HE wakes me morning after morning to listen, HE wakes my ears to hear as one being taught. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears and I will not rebell.
Like Eve in the garden we want to be in the know.
Even though the LORD tells us:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart LEAN not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge ME & I will direct your path, be not wise in your own eyes; depart from evil," (Prov 3:5-7)
I hope you are having a nice day today. The weather here has just been
beautiful. I was so surprised that we didn't have a cloud in the sky
today and that it was 84. I hate to think of rain coming this way--that
means stay in and do housework, laundry and whatever else needs to be
done. (Maybe I'll get a headache or something to get out of it.) LOL
Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen." Matthew 21:21, NLT Many have wondered about Jesus' statement that if we have faith and don't doubt, we can move mountains. Jesus, of course, was not suggesting that his followers use prayer as "magic" and perform capricious "mountain-moving" acts. Instead, he was making a strong point about the disciples' (and our) lack of faith. What kinds of mountains do you face? Have you talked to God about them? How strong is your faith?
"What sorrow awaits you who are rich, for you have your only happiness now. " Luke 6:24, NLT If you are trying to find fulfillment only through riches, wealth may be the only reward you will ever get--and it does not last. We should not seek comfort now at the expense of eternal life.
John 3:16 KJV 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave . . .
You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.
When you love you will give of your time, you will give of yourself, and you will give of your resources. Those who truly love, hold nothing back.
The measure of your giving reveals the measure of your love.
Love is something we can't see, but we can see the evidence of love in the action it produces, which is giving.
If you love someone you will also give them forgiveness. Love causes you to be merciful, understanding, and forgiving.
Where you give your time and resources also reveals what you love. If we think we love someone, yet never give to them of our time or resources, then we are just deceiving ourselves.
There are many people in each of our lives who need and deserve our love. Jesus Christ is the most deserving of all!
The only limits are, as always, those of vision...Is there a reality that corresponds to the deepest desires of our heart? Who gets the last word—the Romance or the Arrows? We need to know, so we are constantly, every moment of our lives, trying to make sense out of our experiences. We look for coherence, a flow, an assurance that things fit together. Our problem is that most of us live our lives like a movie we’ve arrived at twenty minutes late. The action is well under way and we haven’t a clue what’s happening. Who are these people? Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? Why are they doing that? What’s going on? We sense that something really important, perhaps even glorious, is taking place, and yet it all seems so random. Beauty catches us by surprise and makes us wish for more, but then the Arrows come and we are pierced......
Come
now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool. [Isaiah 1:18(KJV)]
A day to celebrate our life, liberty and happiness… "Life is to live full and free Love is meant for you and me Learning is an everlasting light Liberty always shines warm and bright." (Ancient Indian song)
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence ? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives,their fortunes and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants,nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts,and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay,and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton,Gwinnett,Heyward,Ruttledge and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown,Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13children fled for their lives.His
