The Gift of Mother...Wrapped up in Time

 

The Gift of Mother,,,

Wrapped up in Time.


There are many things in this life that grow more precious with time.

Many things that we take for granted in our younger years, shine more brightly in our hearts as the years pass by. Like a gem that is polished over time.

It is not that we do not love and appreciate them in our youth. Not at all.

A mother's presence, her reassuring touch, her encouraging words, her loving help, her tender care, her wonderful example, all serve to define and shape us. They are foundational with amazing ability to impact and form a young child's perspective on life and themselves.

The gift of a God fearing mother can not be over emphasized.

The gift of a praying mother can not be overestimated.

The gift of a caring mother can not be over appreciated.

The gift of a loving mother can not be over played.

For many, their dear mothers have passed onto their Heavenly reward.

May their precious memories be a source of consolation and gratefulness and may the Lord grant peace and comfort.

But for those of us, still blessed to have our mothers...

Let's thank our God.

And lets thank our moms.

Not just on Mother's Day, but often.

May we appreciate the beautiful gifts and gems that they are...

Ones that shines even more brightly, when wrapped in the perspective of time.

God Stories. What's yours?

    I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep.  It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...
