"Without Christ"

Without Christ you are blind and lost (II Cor. 4:3,4), but the good news is, God loves you and Christ died to pay for your sins (I Cor. 15:3,4). The only question is, do you believe He died to pay for your sins, or are you still trying to pay for them in your own way, by doing good works? God says, "to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Rom. 4:5). Why not "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).

Quietness....

Oh what I wouldn't do to be sitting on this beautiful sailboat listening to the waves.. Just being still knowing that HE IS GOD!!! We take so much for granted in this hurried life we live. I just want to stop time sometimes and listen to the quietness that comes with simplicity. I long for the simplicity of life..

Psalms 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Today will be a memory tomorrow..

I am truly thankful for my children. Sometimes I sit and silently weep because they are no longer my little babies that are completely dependent on momma for everything. I quickly realized that God knew long before I did that this time would come and I shouldn't be sad, but I should snuggle up closer to my heavenly Father. He can and should be my greatest comfort during this bittersweet time.
My heart aches with happiness over how much joy my children bring me. I have a greater understanding of the Scripture..
(KJV)3 John 1:4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

There will come a time when I can no longer walk their walk..They will have to walk their own walk.. At this time, KNEE TIME is of utmost importance. God help me to lead them by example!!!

Enjoy your babies!!

Kitty Galore...

Baby kitties are everywhere.. Aren't they sweet?! Sure wish we could have kept them all, but unfortunately we were only able to keep the two males. We named them Oscar and Otis... Frisky indeed!! :-)

Change can be uncomfortable..

Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.---Arnold Bennett

This quote is very true. No change that I have ever experienced was without discomfort, even when the change was for my good.

Today I made the decision to change some things in my life and to take the energy and time that I had been investing into that particular thing and use it for an even greater good in my life.

What I love more than anything is to be an encouragement to others. It is very important to me. This is what my blog will be used for in its entirety. I have learned from personal experience that encouragement is not only necessary but it is vital to our daily walk. My husband needs encouragement as do my children. Yes, even I need encouragement, but what is really funny about that is, I usually am encouraged by being an encourager. How funny is that??!!! Something as simple as a quote or a verse of Scripture does the job. Often enough just saying "I love you" or "I am thinking about you" works. Its the small things that make the greatest impact.

Please join me in this journey. I am looking for great things to come along the way. Go and be a blessing to someone today!! :-)
