One of those Weekends

"If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."  Colossians 3:1



As I set down to write this morning, I have pushed "delete" almost as quickly as I have typed words.  The reason- my mind is full of lots of things, ideas, words, stories and news.  


I had a very busy weekend. 

One of those weekends filled with events and people.  I love both!  

One of those weekends filled with laughter.  There were people happy to celebrate life which brought great joys.  

One of those weekends filled with tears.  There were people grieving losses of a family member and the loss of a marriage. Both brought me to tears.

One of those weekends that lead to hope while talking to someone going through breast cancer.  

One of those weekends that introduce a new friends, as well as getting to wrap your arms around someone just off an airplane.

One of those weekends that lead to worship and praise while joining with others in songs and hymns.

One of those weekends that confirmed God is sovereign.  The sermon was right on with my current Bible study.  He knew I would need to hear it again.

One of those weekends with rain and shine.  

God reminded me once again.  I am raised with Christ.  I am to keep on seeking things above.  I am to be soaring on a difference level.  No matter what the day may bring; happy, sad, secure, lonely, rain or shine.   Did you have one of those weekends, too?

We will be studying Colossians 3 for a while, stay tuned.

Rain or Shine

Log into the website to read this blog.  This will be the last week that I will post here.

Mom's Image

Genesis 1:26-27  God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." And God created man in His own image , in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Today is my mother's birthday.  Happy Birthday, mom!   You are probably thinking why this verse?  Why start off writing about a birthday?  How does your mom and this verse connect?  Let me explain. In describing us, God told us who we are like.  We have been created in God's image, a little statue or replica of God.   One thing I know about God is:  God is Love. God has placed his image of love within us.  We have the capacity to receive love.  We capable to give love.  My mom was created in God's image. My mom has always loved me, my dad and my brother.  She has shown love to others. Her compassion  toward others fills her heart.  Once her heart is full it flows out her eyes.  She is a people-person and loves people. Her heart is tender towards God's creation and the beauty around her.  Whether an animal, a sunset or a quiet snowfall she can enjoy them all. She loves her God.  I have never doubted my mom's love for her God, His Word or me. I am so glad that God created my mom in His image, with the ability to love.  Come to think of it, I am glad that I was created in His image with the ability to receive love-   the love of my mom! Happy Birthday, Mom.  I love you!
