CHURCH

I love to be in Church. I can commune with the Lord and watch what transpires on the Altar meditating upon what Jesus has done for us. It is there I receive many heavenly consolations, occasional visions and rare locutions.

Generally Sundays are the only days I can attend and when I am able to get back to daily attendance, I shall.

GOD-FEARING NATION

Let every God-fearing nation's flag furl

Representing freedom, a valued pearl

Paid for at the expense of battles fought

Peace under God ~ be what is wrought.

A PAUSE for PRAYER

We tend to run in circles like a hampster in a wheel......that's how we humans sometimes feel......but the time shall come when answers are forthcoming, perhaps not in the way we think, but in the way the Lord assigns as He aligns our souls to marry up with His.

SIMPLIFIED

I have simplified my life in order to live in the one the Lord gave me.

YOU WANT HOLY SPIRIT FIRE?

Let's start by focusing upon God above all trials and tribulations.

While in the throes of illness, we sometime are so taken up in the moment of the issue that we cannot think of anything or anyone else......ie, emergencies, etc. As soon as the dust settles and we are released from the clutches of the one who chortles at our misfortunes, we can overcome him by being present to Christ Jesus, the One who saves us from our foe.

Praise the Lord, God Almighty from early morning to late at night. He is the source of our Joy and the devil cannot steal our joy if we don't let him.

Joyfully in the Lord,

Mel

Finding Joy

When we find joy in the Lord and know where we are headed that makes all the difference in the world. We can be happy with a bowl of soup as well as pheasant under glass. We can be happy wearing nondescript jeans as well as the finest linens. We can be happy accepting our own looks and limitations as well as when we cover up our blemishes, our fat, our this 'n that. I choose to be happy because God gave me that Grace. How's 'bout you? lol. JOYFULLY in the LORD, Mel

knowledge and attainment

Thank God that in the complex world in which we live there is the knowledge and attainment of the Lord's peace within our souls. May we all be disposed to the gift of the peace of the Lord.
