Good morning and happy Wednesday to you! I pray this finds each of you filled with joy and laughter! I sit writing from behind the glass this morning as there is a bit of snow beginning to fall an although we are warmer this morning than the whole of the day yesterday...it is still damp, breezy and COLD!
In prayer this morning, I sat in the warm, quiet, still, of my home chatting with our Father in heaven, I prayed my usual prayers for peace, calm, comfort and understanding, I prayed special prayer for the requests that came in for health, healing, compassion, grace and mercy and I gave thanks to Him for being a part of my life each day. I thanked him for loving a miserable broken me, for never giving up on a sinful me, for loving me without condition and for showing to me each day answers to prayers. I thanked him for each of you in my life, for coming and sharing with me my passion, for believing in Him and praying with me for miracles, I thanked him for my family and for my sweet daughter, Derek, and my unborn grandchild, I thanked him for Wayde and for John and James. I asked him to bless each of us with our needs today that he give each of us a mental rest , time that we can spend talking with him, time that we can spend sitting in his lap and gaining strength and will from him. I asked each of these things in the name of Jesus Christ our savior. Amen.
I Am A CHRISTian
‘A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.’
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not shouting ‘I’m clean livin”
I’m whispering ‘I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.’
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed; and need God to clean my mess.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not holier than thou,
I’m just a simple sinner Who received God’s good grace, somehow!
Pretty is as Pretty does… but beautiful is just plain beautiful!
