Matthew Chapter 10
Welcome CHOSEN and LOVED by God! I hope you are having the best day. We started our day with storms raging which does not make our puppies very happy for sure. One headed under the bed and the other went over to my husband’s side of the bed. When they are scared they look to us to keep them safe. Our older dog will always find my husband if he is home to comfort her. Today I want to jump right into the Word with you. I am going to experiment with a camera so that I can shoot video for some of these posts because there are SO much…

Matthew Chapter 9
Welcome CHOSEN and LOVED by God! I hope you are having the best day. Have you ever had Holy Spirit speak softly to you and you ignored what was said? Me too. Yesterday I was in a hurry to walk out the door to meet a friend. I grabbed the garbage to through it in the can at the end of the driveway on my way. I also grabbed one of my favorite necklaces to put on in the car. I heard, “slow down.” When I closed the hatch of the vehicle I noticed the necklace was not in my hand. Again, I heard, “Go get it now.” Nope, I…

Matthew Chapter 8
Welcome LOVED and CHOSEN by God! Do you look forward to the Holidays? I do. It seems people are a little kinder during the months of November and December. It also seems that people are a little more rushed during this time. I have evolved over the years to slow down a little bit. I used to get up at six to get the turkey ready for the oven and then I would be on my feet continually until dinner was served and beyond for clean-up. I was tired and cranky, and for many years I did not participate as I wanted. I was not in the moment because I…

Matthew Chapter 7
Welcome CHOSEN and LOVED by God. Do you take time for interruptions in life. What I mean is, when you have your to do list and someone stops to talk or someone needs you to pray, do you take the time for the interruption or do you go on your way? I used to be so focused on things at hand that I would rush from one thing to the next. I did not take time to truly listen and pray for people. I would tell people to “Talk and walk,” so I could continue on my path. It has taken me time to truly allow myself to be interrupted,…

Matthew Chapter 6
Welcome, LOVED and CHOSEN by God. I hope you had the very best weekend. I did. We had some friends over for a Friendsgiving Saturday. Mind you my home is not that big and we have one bathroom at the moment, but I will tell you this, everyone had a great time. If I had my way we would have people visit every week. Mr. King keeps me grounded in how many events we can have at our house, but I am still cheering and hoping for an Acts 2:46-47 home. I have said for years I want my home to be a safe haven for all who enter. Over…

Matthew 4
Welcome, LOVED and CHOSEN by God. Have you ever sat and contemplated the fact that YOU really are LOVED and YOU have been CHOSEN by God to be his son/daughter? I have many times over the years and it is truly humbling because I know who I was before I followed Jesus. I know what path I was headed; it was not a good path or a good life. Matthew 4:18-22 “And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They…

Matthew 5
Welcome, LOVED and CHOSEN by God! I hope your day is as beautiful as it is here is Georgia. It is a little cooler than normal for this time of year but I really love it. I think I will love it a little bit more when we have a fireplace again. There is nothing cozier than having a fire crackling away while being curled up on the couch or chair. As I was reading our chapter today I was thinking there is a lot of stuff in this one chapter of Matthew. today. Whew! There is also so many things I could comment on but today I am going…

Matthew Chapter 3
Welcome, LOVED and CHOSEN by God! Matthew 3:8-12 “8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He…

Matthew Chapter 2
Welcome, CHOSEN, and LOVED by God! It is a rainy day in Georgia. It is the kind of day that makes you want to have a cozy cup of something hot and cuddle up with a good book or and good Christmas movie. Well, maybe that is just me. I have asked the LORD for a large covered porch when we move so I can sit outside and listen to the rain. It is such a peaceful sound and I love reading on a porch in the rain. It is one of my favorite things. I hope you were able to read chapter two of Matthew, but in case you…
