November...

Rooted and built up

in him,

and stablished in the faith,

as ye have been taught,

abounding therein with

thanksgiving.

What are you thanking him for today~

6 years...

 

 

Jackie'O

 

This morning I look back and say "how can it be 6 years"? To me it there are days it is just not even real yet, days that it seems longer, days it seems like yesterday.

It still is hard, it hurts. I still have your number in my phone, so if as to call you on a recipe, tell you what my latest sewing/craft venture is! Smile

The thing is I so can remember you saying "as you get older...(ahem) Lori I mean, mature in age, you will see how life begins to look, shorter days, time moving  quickly and years shorter". Okay....I am thinking this is so true.... so much to tell you, the children are so much bigger, older, taller, mature, Jodi finally looks maybe 40, still has clear sparkly eyes that tell much with her saying nothing (still call her bob) smile I think Lisa and I "always" will (forever)....I yes am happy to say her quilt is done and getting used! I am so thankful that Dad is well after open heart surgery, we are all well, Lisa is still doing what she does {smile} and yes, Rob will turn a mature number...do I hear motorcycle ride coming for him? Cougar still spoiled ...........we, continue to do lots of ministry, the boys are all "young men" life keeps moving, moving and waits for no one! Home's still in the process (always) ...camping still happening.... The thing is there are always the holes there of the loved ones that have gone on before us, we still shed tears, laugh at stories and remember the "time when, this, that, etc" the thing is....

yes, I am thankful for the time we had, wish we'd have had so much more, God chose the day the time and we must always give thanks.... I am learning now so much from your leaving and yes, Jackie'O sister of mine...forever I will miss you, for ever I thank God for what we had and for you!

I love and miss you today and always.....................

 

 

....I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

~Philippians 1:3

Morning has Broken

Yesterday morning when my sweet youngest son came down he started singing this....

He said "this was in my head singing"? He has heard it by someone else....?

(we don't listen to this artist?)

Sweet how children think, blessed me!
Have a blessed day and remember to thank God for the new morning!

~Lori

love...

1 John 4:17-21

¹⁷ Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

 

¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

 

¹⁹ We love him, because he first loved us.

 

²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

 

²¹ And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

One who Reveres...

 

God

 

 

 

.........Psalm 128

128 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

² For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

⁴ Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

⁵ The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

⁶ Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

Truth from 'HIS' word...

// 1 Corinthians 13 //

 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;

{but the greatest of these is charity.}"

 // 1 Corinthians 13 //

Sunday...

 

 

 

This scripture passage has been a blessing to me....and it is my prayer that it will be the same to you!

There fore seeing we have this ministry, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor by handling the word of GOD deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every mans conscience in the sight of GOD. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to those who are lost: In whom the gods of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel be Christ, who is the image of GOD, should shine unto them.

 

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants foe Jesus' sake. For GOD, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of Jesus Christ. For we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of GOD... and not of us." 

2 Corinthians 4:1-7 

 

 

Blessings to all our dear friends today!

Bow

 

 

 

Romans 14:11

 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,

 every knee shall bow to me,

and every tongue shall confess to God.

Have a blessed day~Lori
