salvation to those who are waiting ...

how does this verse make you feel?  i find it a good spiritual barometer ... it helps me get in synch with the reality to come ... Jesus return!  

O Lord, do not put me to shame ..

teach us to number our days ... grow in us a heart of wisdom ... let our every thought be in line with  your Word ... may The Church be a sweet fragrance to you, O' Lord ...

AND ... even so, Come Lord Jesus ...

teach us to number our days ... that we may gain a heart of wisdom ...

this passage, though written by Moses - centuries ago ... applies to our hearts, at this time ... 

God's Word IS timeless ... with truth that resonates all throughout history ... 

Isaiah ...

this verse gives me comfort ... even tho' it was first spoken to Israel, i still feel a connection with the Words ... i am HIS ... always ...

grace that is sufficient ...

no one understands my heart like Jesus does ... lead me to the ROCK that is higher than i!

I know Whom i have believed in ...

this picture was taken while flying over the Canadian Rockies a few weeks ago ... i love to fly ... it is wonderful to think of how God has made all this beauty ... and even though we as humanity try to muck things up ... God will restore and remake it - One day ... until then, Jesus is our Mediator ... the One to Whom i run ...

Sunday blessings ....

Blessings on your sunday ... read up, pray up, so we can be the light of the world ... for Jesus ...

Easter Sunday, 2015

it is Resurrection Day ... thank you Jesus!!!  so very glad HE loved us ... that much ... WOW!

low in the grave He lay ... Jesus, my Saviour ...

it's that time again ... when those of us who are Jesus followers, think of His sacrifice ... and are humbled and grateful ...

Easter IS coming!

Jesus WON over death ... over sin ... over everything that drags down the  human spirit and doesn't allow us to worship GOD in truth and in deed ...

EASTER is coming!!!

imperfection and God's perfect plan ...

as i watched the sunrise this morning ... i was once again aware of my own fallible efforts ... the good that I want to do, and the good that gets done - are sometimes 2 different things ... then there is God's timing ... i smiled to myself as i read my morning devotions, as i was once again reminded, that God uses imperfection in His work ... as i live out my life in His grace and mercy ...

timelessness of GOD ...

words that are thousands of years old ... yet with a truth that is timeless ... 

one short hour ....

oh, this world we live in ... the wars, rumours of war ... where wrong is declared right and right is declared wrong ... we live to please ourselves and forget Who created us to please HIM ... i wonder when God will say, "ok, enough is enough - the end begins ... "

when the light shines, take notice ...

Thank God for His light ... that illuminates the way ... 

teach us to number our days ...

Psalm 90 is always an encouraging read ... this morning, verse 12 reminded me of the brevity of life ... so i made a poster, using a picture i took in 2012 of the sunrise at the town beach ... just sharing ...

what you put in the well, comes up in the bucket ...

we listened to an excellent message by Charles Stanley this morning ... he was talking about how our minds are the control tower of our thoughts and actions ... it reminded me of Philippians 4:8 ... we need to feed our minds and think on good things ... and also to filter our thoughts through God's Word ... it's the basics that i may forget from time to time ... a reminder to myself!

the fruit of the spirit is love ...

for such a time as this ... 
the message of Jesus is peaceful and full of love ...

warning ...

we are starting off January in the red ... as this screen capture of environment canada clearly shows  ... the extreme weather alerts cover the land ... it's good that these warnings are there ... otherwise, how will the traveler know to prepare? 

these warnings made me think of God's word ... the bible ... we have been able to read the warnings for humanity, if they don't turn to GOD ... the Father even sent His own Son, Jesus ... who gave us the way (John 3:16) to escape the extreme conditions that will hit the planet earth one day (soon?) ... yet many have not heard ... don't care ... won't believe ...  

just like the person who goes on a trip, gets caught in bad weather and says no one told them ... YES THEY DID ... but we all have to search out the information ... the warnings are everywhere ... everywhere ... and only the wise listen, then act upon it ...

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:16-17

Happy New Year!

new year's a coming ...

greetings on a crisp, post Christmas day ... it went down to -29C last night, but warmed up to a more comfortable -22C ... though it could go up 10 more degrees and i wouldn't complain ... ha!  i had to put my whole winter garb on for my walk ... 

just getting dressed took me almost 10 minutes ... long johns, ski pants, columbia turtleneck, lace-up boots, hat, mitts ... then to take a picture meant i had to remove my warm mitts ... but it was all fun and manageable ... i counted my many blessings as i walked, ready to greet a new year soon ... 

so for those who may pop by this poor neglected blog, may God find you in 2015 ... and may you grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ...
