"The fruit of the righteous is life; and he that winneth souls is wise"
Proverbs 11:30 KJV

It just dawned on me how much the lady I take care of has changed. Is it because of my personal ways? Or by the force of circumstances in her life? Or is Jesus talking to her?
Two years... She has watched me live my life - day in and day out.
In the Scriptures about husbands and wives, we read: "...they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives" 1 Peter 3:1 KJV
Living with Jean, is as close as you can get. So I understand it works the same - we are "in private". I see her, she sees me.
Does she see my God?

❀ Let it flow

It rained.
Cleansing, refreshing, life giving rain.
Everything looks perky after the rain. Nature had a shower. The colors are more vivid and there is obvious signs of new growth. I love the fresh smell after the rain, it's invigorating.

"... according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." Titus 3:5 KJV

I was thinking about the Holy Ghost rain. Got to have it. Living in this temporary place, in a less than conducive environment, we collect dust and impurities. We need the washing of the Holy Ghost to keep a healthy holy glow. Holy Ghost rain fall on me!!!

❀ Thanksgiving again, today and tomorrow

"Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" Psalm 107:1, 8, 15, 21, 31 KJV
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
This was the very first Scripture that God gave to me. My life on earth will not be long enough to thank Him for what He has done for me.



~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Everyday is a new beginning. A new sunrise, fresh beauty to behold, and a new sunset.
Let me be as a little child and see the wonder of it all, anew, each day.

Jesus love the little children, all the children of the world,
Brown and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

When it comes to children, something rises up in me and I become a she-bear. The Scriptures talks about in the lasts days "without natural affection", and we are right smack in it. Children all over the world are in need.
The love in my heart... I've got to give it out!
I can't go to China or Africa, Europe or South America, but I can make a difference where I live.
Let the Jesus in me be the Jesus they see.

❀ Safe in the House of the Lord

•~•~•~•~• Dark, cold, fear, out there... alone... without God. •~•~•~•~•~•


Our dwellings are havens of peace and safety. Many times over the years, people have come to sojourn in my little place and made the remark of feeling safe and peaceful.

Today we had a situation where a group ran into my yard and stepped in my front door. Children. They were afraid. It all turned out alright. I love these families so much. These kids love coming to Sunday School.
My heart is full. I want to hold them all close and keep them warm and safe.
Thank you Lord for what you are doing. Open door for more to come and find out about You. Fill them ALL with the Holy Ghost.
