Whatever You Do

Posted on by

How often are we given a task and make it harder than it should be by constantly complaining about it?

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could do everything with a feeling of love and gratitude that this is what we have been trusted with.

Resentment often hardens our demeanor where love softens it. Like Julie Andrews sings in Mary Poppins..A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…

And even scripture tells us the same thing in a different way: Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14 ESV. Happy Monday.

do everything in love - minding my nest

The Lamb Around His Neck

Posted on by

Life can get us down sometimes; we get sad, depressed, tired, lonely, in pain, and the thought that we cannot tolerate another bad news story or take another step on the road of life sometimes leaves us feeling totally helpless. When it happens to me I think of this picture and see myself as the lamb around His neck. Happy Monday.

The word “pastor” doesn't occur at all in the New Testament ...

Be Transformed

Posted on by

Here is a scripture that profoundly changed my life once I truly realized its meaning. When we begin to change our way of thinking and open up to the fact that there is more to this world than the day to day physical activities, grudges, hurts, etc., then a whole new life begins to take shape. Simply put, change your way of thinking. Go ahead…be transformed. Happy Monday.

Coffee Time Again

Posted on by

Hi Friends. Let’s catch up. It’s been over two years since we sat down to coffee together; I know…a couple of you prefer tea. It’s all good.

As usual, my question to you is what’s new and interesting in your life? Oh my goodness, you moved from the USA to Aberdeen, Scotland and had a baby girl shortly afterwards? How wonderful!

And you, my friend,  sipping on your cuppa tea there; you had serious surgery on your back a few months ago and have been sidelined from your normal life? I do hope that complete healing is just around the corner for you.

You just celebrated your ninetieth birthday? Wow! And your husband celebrated his ninety-ninth? Double Wow!! Congratulations to both of you.

And you there, young lady, you’re telling me you started your own home decor and staging business? Good for you! You’ll be amazing at it.

Yes, I know this Corona Virus has the world turned upside down but Easter has passed, reminding us that miracles do happen. Until next time, let’s expect one shall we? Happy Tuesday.

 

 

 

 

Play on Words

Posted on by

Continuing Saturday’s play on words known as lexophilia:

I used to be a banker but I lost interest.

England has no kidney bank but it has a Liverpool.

I was told I had type-A blood but it was a typo.

When chemists die they barium.

I’m reading a good book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.

Why were the Natives here first? They had reservations.

I didn’t like my beard at first but then it grew on me.

When you get a bladder infection, urine in trouble

A dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary is a known as a thesaurus.

All the toilets in New York City have been stolen. The police have nothing to go on.

That’s the end of lexophilia laughs until another time. Enjoy your day.

 

 

 

 

The Morning After

Posted on by

(Let me start out by apologizing for this post being a day late in some parts of the world, but I was away.)

No, I’m not writing about a hangover. At least not the kind from consuming too much alcohol.

It’s the morning after the resurrection of Jesus and as in days of old, a feeling of jubilation continues to pervade the hearts of believers; a hangover of sorts.

On Thursday we attended the Last Supper. On Friday we witnessed the Crucifixion. Saturday we contemplated what was to come, and Sunday we celebrated the Resurrection.

Today, Easter Monday, we move on with the knowledge that something spectacular has taken place and there is no need for a cure for the morning after because Jesus, himself, is the cure for everything.
