Happy New Day!

 

I am musing about....

wishing you all, my dear readers, a...

Happy New Day 

AND 

a Happy New Year!!


There is something about the marking of time that reigns significant within the human spirit! 

I think we all appreciate a new opportunity, a chance to reflect and evaluate, an obvious way to acknowledge the passing of time.

There is something redeeming about a new year. A new chance. A time to "start over" if you will, to approach life afresh.

But there is where I want to take this, dear readers.

Are not God's mercies new every morning?

Is His grace not there for us each and every day anew??

How good He is!

How understanding and generous as He promises, we His struggling creation, to be there for us, time and again, with an outpouring of His "steadfast love" and an abundance of His available help and grace! 

He does not give up on us. His love never runs out. It is fresh every morning (actually every moment). It is there for the taking. We just need to humble ourselves, recognize our need, and reach out and take. Gratefully. Of His mercy and His grace. His power and His love.

I know that for many, 2022 has been a doozy of a year. So many have suffered in one way or another. It has been a year of difficulty in many ways for many people. We too have had some challenges this past year. For sure.  But we all, as God's children, can attest to His faithfulness through it all. We may not always understand. Things can be hard and can hurt. But we all can look forward to the new year and each new day with renewed gratefulness. Because of the hope and the purpose that we find in Him!

So Happy New Day dear ones. And Happy New Year! May 2023 be a good one. A wonderful one. As you (and each of us) continue to grow in His love, understanding, joy and ways....

with each New Day!!

This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.      Psalm 118:24

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.  Lam. 3:22-24

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...

Just What is it About this Time of Year?

  I am musing and marveling about.... Just what is it about this time of year?? It is a time of "peace on Earth, good will to men". It is a time of universal sharing, caring and giving. It is a time when people open their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks. It is a time of nostalgia; a time of dreaming. It is a time of childhood wonder (no matter your age), It is a time of chorales, symphonies, caroling and ..... humming.  It is a time of togetherness, a time for connectivity (or at least a desire for it). It is a time of extreme busyness (pre-Covid anyway) and yet a time we yearn for quiet and pause. It is a time of reflection. It is a time of memory making and memory stirring. It is a time of healing or a time when healing feels so needed. It is a time of emotion, when feelings reign strong. It is a time when grief hits harder and joys abound more fully. It is a time of beauty and serenity and warmth. It is a time of reaching out and reaching in. It is a time of cozy...

Preeminence

I am musing.... about Preeminence Preeminence. I LOVE that word! I use that word...alot. I think it. I pray it. I go back to it. Time and again. It gives me comfort and realignment. It helps me navigate life. It gives hope, reassurance, peace and purpose. Why? Because of the context in which I use it. CHRIST IS THE PREEMINENCE! He is my all-in-all! He is on the throne! He has all things. He is all knowing and all powerful and all present! And there-in I find hope and comfort and reassurance and peace and realignment and purpose. When Satan throws those darts of doubt and fear, I raise my shield of faith and shout from my soul “HE IS THE PREEMINENCE!” Life can be going along. Hunky Dory. Life is good. I have been able to touch base with all the kiddos and the grandkiddos:) I have had my sweet grandbaby-time (whether in my arms or on Facebook). My hubby seems happy and content. The house is clean (enough). Work is going well. Bible Study is scheduled for th...
