Blessings for a serene Sabbath weekend this Easter!

A SPRINGTIME THANKFUL THURSDAY

This week let's open our eyes to all that God has done as well as being

a watchman on the walls of your location..... wherever God has placed you. 

On my FEC monthly prayer sheet, Isaiah 62:6-7 precedes all the petitions. "....Give God no rest until He establishes and 'til He makes (First Evan or wherever it's people minister) a praise in the earth."

In A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, Eugene Peterson connects the word watchman with wait and hope. (p. 136) 

It's a role to embrace not a complaint.

Today I choose to look for God's hand in every situation and rejoice.

A morning in the hillside at daughter Molly's showed God's creation at every turn.......from baby chicks to rhododendron filled with butterflies!

Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. (Psalm 150:6)

WOO-HOO!

I HAVE ENERGY GALORE! 

IT'S NO LONGER WEARY WEDNESDAY!

Pitiful, aren't I?🙆‍♀️

PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday 2026

God-Man's Triumphal Entry

3 Churches in 3 different states......NC,TN, TX......all with the same message of Jesus Christ!

Hallelujah! 

A-MEN!

FAITHFUL FRIENDS!

Friday's Focus......

FAITHFUL FRIENDS!

AKA Friends in the Faith

Appreciate the counsel of a friend in the faith! I have had them both physically & emotionally pick me up when I have fallen. I have heard their voice through a text or phone call so loneliness doesn't smother me. Their counsel encourages one to continue to fight for faith.

Reciprocate in a like manner. When friends in the faith are struggling, come alongside to help them journey from hurt to hope! Maybe share a Psalm of Lament.....those psalmists'prayers in pain that help lead to deeper trust.

Friends in the Faith---a 'Kinship of Kindness" filled with grace-laced truth.

• A true friend offers sincere, sometimes painful advice for your own good, rather than empty flattery. 

PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

Think refreshment and restoration for His glory and our good!

Righteousness is the only path we need as it aligns with His will while bringing hope to our lives and the lives of those we serve and pray for, especially on Wednesday!

A great Walkabout Wednesday of faith on a sunny day in the mountains allowing God to pause our pace and pray as we go!

RAMSHACKLED!

Ramshackle is often the adjective used to describe the condition of a house.

Today, for me it appears to be a descriptor of my body, ie unstable, rickety, crumbling and on verge of collapse.

Sound familiar? For the "age-related" ones, it can be very familiar.

What is one to do? 

For me, the answer is "look to the Psalms---A very good place to start!" 

Focus on His character traits!

• The LORD is my light.....the stronghold of my life. (Psalm 27:1)
• Taste and see the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. (Psalm 34:8)
• The LORD teaches His paths.... when we ask. (Psalm 25:4)
• The LORD protects......Psalm 41;2) The LORD  sustains.....(Psalm 41:3)
• The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Psalm 103:8) 

Pray the Psalms. Let those words of truth lead your "ramshackled" heart back to Him.!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

I know our spring event was 4 days ago but i misplaced a pic from that day I wanted to share. Imagine that!

A walk at Deep Creek with hubby and NC grandson required a light jacket because of some wind gusts but it was still a walk of wonder of sorts as winter fades and spring bursts forth!

Parts of the path toward Tom Branch Falls were covered with a light purple glow of Lesser Periwinkles! (Vinca Minor) This pic was taken close up when in fact, the size of each on the flowers on the trail were approximately the same size as the nail on my thumb. Blended among the darkngreen leaves along the trail was eye-catching! 

A simple beauty from our great Creator!

A RESONATING PRAISE CHORUS!

SING -A- LONG w/ Hillsong on the chorus......

 

REPEAT---and end with Oh Lord oh Lord our God 2x

May it resonate in your heart the rest of the day!

JOY INCREASING!

Happy First Day of Spring! 

Memphis has flowers and our snow has dissipated! (Pradip pic)

Just the thought of springtime brings me JOY!

In every season.....winter, spring, summer, fall, ordained by God;

Focus on Him. 

Lean in to others in the "church."

Result = JOY 

Think increasing JOY!

Come let us sing for "JOY to the Lord"! (Psalm 95:1a) for "all my springs of joy are in you." (Psalm 87:7)

Everlasting JOY!
