FORGIVENESS~

FORGIVENESS IS THE FRAGRANCE THE VIOLET SHEDS
ON THE HEEL THAT HAS CRUSHED IT.
~Mark Twain

"THIS MUCH..."

I ASKED JESUS, "HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME?"
AND JESUS SAID, "THIS MUCH..."
THEN HE STRETCHED OUT HIS ARMS AND DIED.

BACK IS FEELING BETTER!

Hello! Guess What?!?

My back is feeling better! Of course I praise The Lord directly, and I also thank Him for letting someone who reads my blogs write in and suggest an over-the-counter product called "Osteo Bi-Flex", which is GLUCOSAMINE CHONDROITIN COMPLEX PLUS MSM. It works by providing the nourishment your body needs to help build cartilage, lubricate and strengthen your joints. Evidently, it is working, because I have been in a LOT less pain since I have been taking it.

THANK THE LORD!  My husband said, "Well, good because, I hated seeing you all bent over like a Granny!" Thanks a LOT, Jamie!? ...Well, anyway, PRAISE THE LORD!

I plan to personally thank the one who wrote in suggesting this product.

I also want to thank those of you who have been praying for us.~ GOD ANSWERS PRAYER!!! NOW, I'm going to see if I can get Jamie on it, and see if it helps HIS pain level. Hopefully it WILL!

~THANKS FOR CARING!

~ DINNER ON THE GROUNDS

HJ NOW...

Well, I just made the quickest trip I've ever made flying anywhere!

We flew to Cincinatti,OH Saturday, and flew BACK to Jax Sunday, all within 24 hours! It's weird to wonder whether you just went somewhere or not! Ha! 

Really, we had a fruitful time with Pastor Jim Crabb, wife Sara, and members of the "IMAGO DEI" church there in Cincinatti. Our only regret was not getting to spend more time with them! We promised to come back, if they'll have us! We had a precious time worshipping God together! It's so great to find out what awesome brothers and sisters you have IN CHRIST everywhere!

Well, I'll try to make another entry to my story...

God bless your week!

KH THEN...

I don't know what I would've done without my church during my early teens...

My commitment to play the piano for all of the services, trios, choirs, etc kept me very busy, even though it was always pretty scary, because like I said before, I could only play in two(three at the MOST) keys!! I was ALWAYS just on the verge of "messing up"! But, then, there's a lot to be said for "on the job training", right? 

One of my favorite things was to harmonize with others. That's ANOTHER thing I might not have learned if I hadn't been willing to do things in the face of fear! Call it 'faith' or call it 'insanity', I was terrified, but did it anyway! And I learned most of all I learned by my many 'mistakes'!   

When I was chosen to be part of a "trio", I was elated! I just felt my way along vocally, and learned three part harmony. It was a BLAST!  I STILL love it, to this day!  

My fellow singers were Priscilla Blackburn and Karen Raburn. Karen parents, Robert and Merle Raburn, were the Pastors at that time. Those people were dear to my life. Such strong believers, full of prayers of faith. They were also like my 'second parents' during those years. 

I LOVED learning new songs...working things out...trying out different parts... I think God used music to help "hold me together" during those difficult years. My church friends meant a lot to me...more than I realized at the time, I'm sure. One of the most devastating things my Mother ever said to me was about my friends at church. She said, "Your friends don't really love you...they're jealous of you!" There was such a meanness behind her words, it was just heartbreaking. She also told me that my Dad didn't love me. 

"If he did, he would be calling to see you more!", was the 'picture' that was painted for me. Many, countless negative things were said about my Dad...so much so, that it changed the way I viewed him for about the next 22 years. I could not, in any way, receive his love for me. I didn't think any was there, so I never recognized it for what it was when it DID come my way. It was a very sad scenario. But, as The Great Redeemer would have it, God told me how to pray for my Dad for the last three years of his life, and THAT broke the curse that had been set up so many years ago. Glory to God!

One of my best friends was Joye Stifle. We sat together in church a lot, and played at eachother's houses on many sunday afternoons. One of my ABSOLUTE greatest memories of my childhood is of the potluck-style meals they would have on certain sundays after church, called "dinner-on-the grounds". But, my friend, Joye's Mom, Ruby, made THE most AWESOME and HEAVENLY  "RED VELVET CAKE" ever to grace a human mouth! And, she made one EVERY time we had a "dinner -on-the-grounds"!  Whew! 

It makes me want a piece of it RIGHT NOW! I MUST get the recipe from Joye ASAP, since she is, thankfully, still in my life!

GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for going to the cross for us.

Thank you for living an obedient life unto Your Father in Heaven, and for enduring the betrayal, torture, and torment for us, that we might receive the unmerited favor of God and the gift of eternal life. May we always be mindful and put to the remembrance of what our salvation cost You. Thank You, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, and ALL GLORY, HONOR, AND POWER BE YOURS, FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER, Amen. 

DINO'S MOONFLOWER

MY BROTHER GIVES THE GLORY TO GOD FOR LETTING HIM FIND IT!

MAUNDY THURSDAY

Somehow this got erased. I had posted it on Thursday, recognizing it as "Maundy Thursday". So here it is again.

Today being "Maundy Thursday", I am presenting an image which I understand to be the main symbol of Christianity.(besides the cross itself) Check it out ~

P.S.  I listened over & over to one CD all day long today...MARTY GOETZ : THE LOVE OF GOD

I HIGHLY recommend going to his website and getting this one! 

www.martygoetz.com 

Marty brings The Presence of God into your home through his music and worshipful heart.

He does for me what others say that I do for them. Especially listen to the title cut. It is The Gospel of Jesus Christ...The Love of God.
