Image
Hi Everyone, Hope that you & family are safe & doing well! I told my dear daughter that I would help her to spread the word about this new small business that is looking to grow. So please consider reaching out to Amanda for any custom gifts for the upcoming holidays, events, birthday or “just because”. See below for her contact info. Check out a few things she’s been making.  Thank you and YES, let’s get the word out on her behalf. Love & Grace, Lydia 

I FOUND ME

Image
Would like to try to describe this experience which I had today. In order to give this merit, I must go back to the beginning of the COVID19 shut down in mid March. Since then I have enjoyed staying home, reflecting and doing lots of reading. Two (2) books in particular which are written by Townsend & Cloud had been giving me the chance to reflect on boundaries and behavior patterns. Fast forward to now. In my spirit I have been struggling with emotions. The ups and downs of being shut in and reflecting upon my health. It seems that I had been slowing down due to the lack of active work and exercise. My muscles and joints were stiffening up and I my bowels were out of wack. I was experiencing stomach bloating and digestive issues. I finally went back to acupuncture to see if that could relieve some of these issues. That is where this journey began. Questions were asked and I tried to honestly answer them. She made some suggestions about me needing to "let go" of is...

There Is A Season

Image
There will be times in this journey, that we need to take the time to:  ·          mourn the loss of family getting togethers  ·          to reflect: how instantly our lives have changed;  ·          time to grieve the loss of youth, health and so much more. During this pandemic, we have had much time to reflect on our lives, our jobs and family, the world crisis, the chaos in our beloved America and personal losses.  Let us look to God's Word for comfort and strength for today. Matthew 5:1,3-4 One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him,    and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes ·          “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him,        ...

AMERICA RETURN 2 ME

Image
          Ezekiel 2:3-5 "Son of man," God said, "I AM sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day. They are a stubborn and hard-hearted people. But I AM sending you to say to them, This is what the Sovereign Lord says! And whether they listen or refuse to listen, remember this; they are rebels, at least they will now they have had a prophet among them."  America was founded by a people that left their homeland in hopes of finding religious freedom. And like Caleb and Joshua when they saw that the land was good, a land flowing with milk and honey, they spoke up and wanted to come and conquer the giants living here. They built homes, schools, roads and communities so that they may continue to grow in this great land.They continue to build their lives in the ways of God and His Truths which was the Bible (the Word of God). They w...

Prepare Our Hearts

Image
2020 National Day of Prayer  Thursday, 5/7/2020 Let us prepare our hearts, mind and spirit as we come together as a Nation and as the body of Christ for prayer.    The  Scripture and theme           Habakkuk 2:14  "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." God made a promise to the prophet Habakkuk during some very deep and troubling times in Israel’s history. It was a time marked by darkness and disobedience from the culture and God’s people. The prophet cries out to God for hope and help and God answers in a most unexpected way; to use a wicked, idol-worshipping nation’s army to come and execute His judgement on His people. Habakkuk could not believe what he was hearing as God began to detail the “woes” that would come to pass, but in the middle of the pronouncement of woes God pauses to make a profound promise that would eventually be seen in the fa...

Broken Flask

The Sign of the Broken Flask - Jeremiah 19:1-9     “Thus, says the  Lord : “Go and get a potter’s earthen flask, and take some of the elders of the people and some of the elders of the priests. And go out to the Valley of the Son of  Hinnom, which is by the entry of the Potsherd Gate; and proclaim there the words that I will tell you, and say, ‘Hear the word of the  Lord , O kings of Judah and inhabitants of  Jerusalem. Thus, says the  Lord  of hosts, the God of Israel:  “Behold, I will bring such a catastrophe on this place, that whoever hears of it, his ears will tingle. “Because they have forsaken Me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocents (they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons wit...

Let's Wake Up

Image
1 Thessalonians 5           The Day of the Lord But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.  For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.  But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.  Therefore, let us not sleep, as others  do,  but let us watch and be sober.  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.   But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and  as  a helmet the hope of salv...
