TUESDAY TR1ADS!

Few pastors are as succinct as Scotty Smith! He says the most with the fewest words!

Think crisp with clarity!

A BIG thanks to Doris, one of his faithful followers, and Quad Squad member for sharing a recent Scotty NT Gospel Triad with me.

1. Who are believers? "Called, loved and kept" (Jude 1:1)
2. What are believers given"Grace, mercy, and peace" (2 John 1:3)
3. What will last in a believers life?"Faith, hope, and love" (1 Corinthians 13:13)

How do I know this triad was for me? 

I needed it after a week's worth of being off the grid to focus on & care for Hubby after his serious reverse shoulder replacement surgery. 

He needs it as well. Think "right-hander" living with only left hand usage and pain.

Tonight's Allen Bible Church (for both of us) is from the  ABC 2026 Reading Plan. 1 Corinthians 13 (A favorite Scripture of his)

Romans 12:12, a fave Bible verse for me to share with others especially those needing prayer (Hubby in his "right-hand only" access recliner) is, a Dixie, on my side of the bed to see as I get up to aid him during the middle of the night! 

These triads are God's truth for all believers.

Today I see them as "God winks" for me, a needy believer who is so-so grateful!

A SMATTERING OF SNOWY WEATHER COMPLAINTS.......

 .......until we saw what our Brooklyn son and his family were experiencing. 

Think 21.1 inches by 1:39 p.m. 

CONVICTION!

I am now throwing out my snow complaints and celebrating the few hours  of large beautiful flakes that came and went. A smattering of snow might close schools in our neck of the woods (NC mountains) BUT is nothing compared to a literal smothering of SNOW in NYs neighborhoods!

🎶MUSIC🎶 OF THE HEART❤️

Who writes the music of your heart?

God has a song for each of us! Some are "hymns we claim as our own!

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing personally comes to my mind.

Who writes the 🎶 music 🎶 of your heart? 

Allow Father God to teach you some melodious sonnet of life, and health and peace regardless of circumstances He has allowed!. (O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing)

Allow His words in His melody (by His design) allow you to learn the tune, and not be dismayed  by the "rests" He has allowed. 

Music from the heart is 🎶Music🎶 to my ears!

PLAN G!

What is PLAN G? 

THE answer---according to MUFHH marginalia....

PLAN G = GOD'S PLAN WITH GOD'S GUIDANCE!

I'm going with God's Plan G today!* 

Won't you join me!?

*Tomorrow 2/17/2026, "my" Plan G is Hubby's reverse shoulder replacement surgery and all prayers are appreciated for God's glory and Hubby's good throughout the lengthy process for recovery!

FIRST LOVE!

HAPPY VALENTIN'E'S DAY!!!

WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US. 

(1 JOHN 4:19)

DITHERING DITSY!

One might suppose that a person whose first "word of the day" for the week is "dither" would profit with that head's up.

But.....when one's spouse will be undergoing some serious surgery within a week..... All-a Dither has been my response!

 

The "indecisively" definition is  boldly true! Decision making is beyond difficult for me! So many factors. So much beyond my control!

Sounds like real life, doesn't it?

But God, in HIs love and mercy can use those factors to "up my trust factor." Trust God, not self!

Even this "Dithering Ditsy" understands the importance of placing your trust in the right place.....with the only ONE who is trustworthy!!

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!
