To Be A Child Again
I’m visiting my mom because she got a pacemaker after her pulse was 27 beats. Her heart stopped before the surgery and she was having blackouts with swollen legs. She is much better now 💕 praise God and medical staff 💕
I’m working on this for her…. What are your thoughts?
Firm Foundation
Firm Foundation
A fist pounds – not a drum;
A foot kicks – not a ball;
Invisible bars hold me;
I’m up against a wall.
Emotions train the wild tiger
Guiding him when to attack…
I can see he feels trapped too-
God, help me to give back!
May I lift my hands to him;
This child who’s only four;
Teach him what compassion is-
To open the locked door.
Remind me to surround him with prayer,
Instead of holding a grudge.
May I teach him how to rejoice with peace?
I need You to give me the nudge!
Then perhaps when his fists pound
He will be building up his home!
Kicking out what hurts him,
And never to be alone.

A while ago I posted this but I forgot to let you know it was my homework and I forgot to ask questions to encourage conversation. I would love to know your input!!
Romans 5:8 But God proves his love for us in that whilewe still were sinners Christ died for us.
There it sat holding one square on the brown tube. What was I to do? My teeth clenched as I pursed my lips together and shook my head. “I’m always putting a new role on! Why can’t he ever do this? It only takes a couple of moments! Now I’m stuck!”
This is just one of my pet peeves my husband may or may not know about. There is an unwritten list I keep, sometimes I tally the offenses up. But why? What good will it do for me to keep score? I know he loves me more than life; he supports my hobbies, my healthy journey, and he will get up out of bed in the middle of the night to get me a drink or to check a noise that I heard. He knows my faults, yet loves me all the more! He is human, but I believe he’s a fine example of Jesus to me. Moment by moment he lays down his life for other people so that they may have hope, peace, joy.
A few days ago he was in Minneapolis taking a weeklong class so that he can better himself. He does this because he knows this is what God is called him to do. He studies the Bible so that he may help people.
2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
I’ve been studying the Bible, taking classes, but what for? I want to help people just the same as my husband, to lighten his load. But really is it so I can be like the Israelites and use it against the one God gave me, so I can believe I’m the “better one?”
God went to the Gentiles, because the Israelites rejected Him. I know I give my husband countless reasons to have a pet peeve list with me, yet He doesn’t remind me of it. My husband has laid down his life for me, because he loves me with an unconditional love. Maybe I too should follow Christ’s example, stop acting like a Pharisee and throw my list away.
Have you ever felt like a Gentile…. Like people have “lists” for you to follow, yet you never measure up? If so, please explain.
Or…
Do you remember a time when you felt like a Pharisee, feeling like you were better than others? If so, please explain.
Be Punctual
Be Punctual
Questions swarm around my head
Staring at my sentence.
I am in a jam for what I said,
Now I feel repentant.
Will this period ever pass?
“I’m sorry!” I exclaim-
What can I do to make this right?
How can I clear my name?
Ellipses won’t save me –
They’re just a bunch of periods
Taking up time and space!
This is quote, “serious.”
Help me to make my mark,
To turn another page-
Before I find the hyphen
Within my old age.

Musical Musings
I seen this done on Facebook and thought it would be fun to do here and I thought it would be also fun to add what the weathers like and what you’re having for lunch. So name a song that has the color in itor
the word color.
So Encouraging!!!
I love this site!!! They are so encouraging and it’s free!!! True there are “faster” ways of meeting my health goals that I could pay for, but it’s not necessary to get to my goal….. Which is October 27th, 2017.
I encourage you to give them a try, and tell them Agape sent you 😉
