2nd CHANCE SUNRISE!

Somedays we all need a "do-over"!!
How grateful I am that Father God gave us His son Jesus so we could do just that.

Repent in Jesus name. Ask forgiveness and you're ready for a do-over!

Think sunrise in spirit because of rising up of God's Son.

God's Son Rises!

Pithy with purpose!

GOD'S WORK---JOIN HIM THERE!

GOD'S WILL! ASK

GOD'S PATH! SEE

GOD'S PLAN.........

JOIN HIM THERE!

PRUNING FOR 2026

OUCH! A BIG OUCH!

OUCH FOR A PURPOSE!

Clearing clutter! In our much smaller house we're beginning to look like hoarders. In our minds, we can't hold it all.  

Prune to eliminate superfluous. Think unneeded.

How does one distinguish in the worthy? 

Decluttering means giving not having.

God's Word is worthy! All of God's word is purposeful!

Allow His Word  continue to touch your heart. 

Think purposeful pruning to allow the fruitful to dominate.

........verses of hope

.......so that you may abound in hope;

.......call unto God for answers;

.......first, seek God and His righteousness;

..........Bless the LORD with every part of your being;

Prune fear, control and self centeredness that deters fruitfulness!

Nurture and Embrace Jesus the King of Kings; necessary to allow more fruitfulness!

COMPLAINTS BE GONE!

Camping out in the Psalms has been an ongoing pursuit for me. Relative/friend Bonnie, knows of my predilection for that book of the Bible and recently gave me a large print (YES!) devotional of 100 days of worship w/ word search in the Psalms.

Complaining is not a godly characteristic. Yet, God listens to us in our times of trouble just as He listened to David cry out to Him in Psalm 142!

How grateful I am to be able to vent my frustrations to Him knowing He can change my heart.

From grumpiness to gratitude!

Rid me of my upside down thought life as I give my thoughts to you, O Lord!

Thanks for using a simple writing activity to guide me in a new direction.

Without complaint!

REFRESH OTHERS WITH LOVE!

It's a new month!

May all be done in the LORD'S love to Refresh others!

SNOW DAY COMETH!

WINTER WEATHER ALERTS!

Our news forecast for ice, snow with gusty winds and COLD temps have continued for over two weeks.....but mostly avoided us! 

UNTIL TODAY!

Snow as seen from our side door and outside our great room window.....

......and it continues!

Another season of weather....a bit like season's of life. Up and down!

Be as prepared as you can for seasonal struggles and the "winters" of life. 

Trust God, who is control of all our elements, for the results of all the snow days that cometh! (Psalm 74:17)

Elnora Williams

March 2, 1942--January 30, 2026

A Jesus Lover

Elnora---a part of our family since December 1978!

Elnora in 1980 with our youngest.

Dearly loved by so many for so long. Sorely missed! 

Resting in Peace! (Isaiah 57:2, NCV)

A few fave pix from all my Thursdays with Elnora.

 

 

 

BLURSDAY--THURSDAY!

I don't know if it's plaque on the brain, age-related or the COLD Winter Weather alert for the past week, but I rarely know what time it is or what day it is! Thanks to Renee B. & my squad, I have been receiving pix lately that give me reminders. Grateful for those early morning hints! I pray for my daily folks before I even get out of bed.

Today, I was very late getting to my prayer chair and noticed that my "Word A Day" was still on Monday. I knew it wasn't Monday but after that my memory was a bit hazy! "Word A Day" was a gift from "My" Molly who understands both my memory lapses as well as my "grammarian bent" of love for words and their usage.

Voilà!!

There it was! Who doesn't know what Blursday is!

How grateful I am to be able to laugh at myself and all my maladies!

As it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, there is a time for every matter under the sun. Today at my house there was building up, laughing and dancing!

Glad you could join me!

TUESDAY TRAUMA!

WHY?

WHY so many Potential Scams in less than 24 hours?

Why bother to even check the phone when it rings?

Are the elderly targets?

I know Scripture advises us not to lose heart. (2 Corinthians 4:16)

I'm weary with fear of being hacked! I'm wanting life the way it once was as I recall my mother saying! Even Ecclesiastes 7:10 advises against doing that.

So.....I repent of my fear and pray for the Lord to forgive me and sustain me with His truth!

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. (Isaiah 46:4)

Even if I have to repeat the process again and again---

I am grateful God hears my cries for help.

TRUST GRAMMATICALLY!

Today, we go to sign our wills AGAIN! A redo of our wills for at least the 3rd time. We had hoped to set up a "trust" but in this itty bitty town that can't happed.

However, I am more focused on trust as a verb. 

A verb that emphasizes faith in action!

Trust God in all times and in all ways. Acknowledge Him daily to guide your paths. Trust leads to straight paths.

Continuous Action = grammatically correct trust.
