+KINDNESS+

KINDNESS OVERFLOWS......in the prayers of the Saints.....and for sure in the kind actions of saints.

Noah in 2008 was 4. He used rhyming to help him with his verse memory! 

My name is Noah, (Think No-uh!)

I am 4. (Think Fo-uh!)

Ephesians 4 (Fo-uh) 32 says Be Kind to one another!

Kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the blossoms, kind deeds are the fruit. (Source Unknown)

Embrace kindness; reflect the heart of God!

Daughter Molly certainly did that when she created a "glitzy" cane for me. In recent years, as I've begun to wobble and hobble more and more, I am oblivious to people "in my space." 

Her gift was a gift to others as well as me. 

Her rationale was simple but needed......

"Mom since you no longer seem aware of people coming in  your direction, yet need a cane to stay upright, I've created your cane with some glitz so others can see you coming."

It's been working and I am grateful for her kindness! I can't even begin to count the number of hours needed to add all the glitter. Plus, some have followed me out of a ladies room with said cane in hand as they chased me down before I fell.People even comment on it to me and even seem anxious to open doors for me.

Thanks much for your kind gift, "my" Molly!

WORSHIP!

WONDER OF WORSHIP!

We all have an altar---will it be self or God? 

Who will sit on the throne of your altar---Money? Fame? Jesus Christ?

A Worship song.... 

I'm Coming Back to the Heart of Worship. (Matt Redman)

.......and Psalm 95:6 can help you make the best decision!

"O come, let us worship and bow down: 

let us kneel before the Lord our maker." 

True Worship. AMEN!

FALL BACK!

Celebrate this week-end! Why?

Daylight saving starts the second Sunday in March and continues until the first Sunday in November 1 @ 2 a.m. local time.

Why is that important? Living in a state that observes Daylight Saving Time, we get to sleep in. 

WooHoo----a wake-up call allowing an extra hour of sleep!

Think brighter mornings and earlier sunsets. Though many states hope for Daylight Saving Time to be unending. So far it has not happened. 

Think on-going political tussle!

So when your alarm goes off tomorrow, wake-up refreshed and ready to head out to church to pay spiritual attention to truth from God's Word.

Think gathering together as believers for mutual encouragement and spiritual support. (Hebrews 10:25)

Draw near to God with a sincere heart. A heart filled with faith and cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

Fall Back and Pay Attention to God's Truth!

THANKFUL THURSDAY IN RETROSPECT!!

Oh What a Day! A yesterday, that is!

A Thankful Thursday indeed!

Driving for over an hour mostly on a one-lane highway of road work through the Nantahala Gorge was worth every minute of it---anticipating a few hours with a long time friend and her2 daughters.

Hooray! Hooray!! We found each other today...after passing only once!

Murphy NC Reader's Choice Award Winning place for an early  dinner!

Even the Welcome Desk has a Story!

Pure bliss! Two hours of "catch-up" after 2 years of absence.

Toasting our sweet potatoes!

A friend loves at all times! (Proverbs 17:17)......

.......as do sisters!

Home again after the sunset! With teary eyes and a full heart and

Peek, peak, and pique;  sound the same but meaning varies very much! 

'Peak' 'Peek' 'Pique'

These 3 are rarely listed alphabetically but it helps one whose memory cap is already full and exacerbated by amyloid plaque in the rain. Today it helped me add new POPs to my list----Pinnacle Of Prayer and Peak of Power.

Peak is a noun or adjective that refers to a maximum or high point, as in the peak of a mountain right outside our great room window....

..or a peak performance! Think a second-grader dancing in the rain.

Peek is sight related and often refers to looking quickly. Growing up, our kids would peek over the stair case bannister on Christmas Eve and then run back upstairs to avoid getting "caught"! 

Lastly, a third homophone pique, means "to excite or arouse" and is usually used with "curiosity." For me, (today) my curiosity is piqued by homophones!

Take a peek! It'll be the peak of your day! 

Have I piqued your interest yet?

LOVELY LADY!

My Lovely Lady is a teen +!

Blessings upon blessings!

How grateful I am!

COLLEGE GAME DAY!

College Game Day---every Saturday 9am-12 noon is on our TV. It is also on TVs of many others! THINK football fans of family and friends. Most are male, who are definitely football fans of his/her own college attended or in a certain town, or any number of reasons, starting from childhood. Even closets can be filled with attire for all ages in a family's school fave colors.

For me, there can be a bit too much commentary and my watching is a bit sporadic. 

However, the creativity of the students expressing not only the love of football and their favorite team, but also their love of Jesus with just as many signs!

Signs that can encourage and minister to many! Signs of hope!

A-MEN!
 

SUNDAY SERMON!

Sunday Sermon in a Nutshell!

PRAISE THE LORD! AMEN!!

SATURDAY SIGNS OF FALL!

Chillier temps!

Grandson Jack's pumpkin carving.

Blue Skies!

Fall colors around our backyard, w/o mountain view, farms and in areas of towns!

Winding up on our porch with a cuppa in hand and a floral fading view across the street was a beautiful end to our day.

And the Lord God created them all! 

Plus, Jack came for dinner!

GOD'S PLUMB LINE!

Off-kilter! 

Physically, off-kilter is the best descriptor for me.

A mis-matched stumbling mess.

Cane needed.

Cane left in car.

Husband catches me mid-fall and retrieves cane.

Regardless of time of day, keep hubby or a sweet friend near-by!

Molly's "glittery" cane helps so people can see coming.

New bookmark gift, from Hoptown gal I have known since first grade, seems to have the physical properties of a plumb line. 

I know the Bible does...Spiritual ones that is!

Align your plumb line with God's!
