Grace

 "I'm glad we are saved by grace and not by good works.

 Because I don't want to listen to everybody 

brag for eternity on how they got there."

DL Moody

"For it is by grace you have been saved,

through faith and this is nor from yourselves

it is a gift of God  not by works, so that no one can boast.

For we are God's handiwork. created in Christ Jesus to do 

good works. which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Ephesians 2: 8- 10

Tuesday Thoughts

"Worry is a conversation

you have with yourself

about things you cannot 

change. 

Prayer is a conversation 

you have with God about 

things He can change.

Amen!  

Sunday

I appreciate beginning my Sundays with silence.  I am grateful for  the hymns  that interrupt the silence of the morning. Then,  I savor worship songs that often inspire heartfelt prayers. 

Sundays are a wonderful to savor a time to truly rest.

Friends

 

"When in doubt , tell the truth. 

It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."

Mark Twain 

Ash Wednesday

Pope Leo XIV on Lent,

"I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated  form of abstinence; that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgment, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities . In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace."  

Friday

 "Friday is the perfect moment to choose joy, share kindness, 

finish one important task, and 

stop into the weekend feeling light and capable." 

Quote from @Blurtitoutorg

If you want ...

"The great C.S. Lewis, in his classic Mere Christianity, wrote these words: If you want to get warm, you must get near the fire. If you want to get wet, you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to or even into the thing that has them ... If you want eternal life, that is the life most joyous being in the universe, get close to God, immerse yourself in the water of who God is, and you will grow in  joy."

Reading scriptures and belonging to a Bible study are great ways to get close to God.  

Words

 Last words of Johann Sebastian Bach;

"I played the notes as they were written, but is was God who made the music. 

Don't cry for me - I am going to 

where the music was born."

Monday Musings ... Happy Epiphany

 Yesterday a friend hosted a  Happy Epiphany Open House.  Family, friends, and volunteers were treated to a lovely afternoon as we gathered to visit and engage in some sweet conversations. In addition, we enjoyed delectable treats. 

In the context of being a  Christians, Epiphany is marked as recognition of when the Wise Men came to give gifts to the Lord Jesus.  Eastern Orthodox Churches will celebrate the Epiphany on January 6. While, we do not know the exact time the Wise Men were able to worship, the Lord Jesus, we know that is an historical fact.   This event was recorded. in Matthew 2.

We do not."

I am thankful

that my blessings are

... I will do a new thing

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
