Christ will shine on you


                                              
                                                        "Wake up, O sleeper,
                                         rise from the dead    
                                and Christ will shine on you."   
                                           Ephesians 5:14                     



Hi Friendly People, 
      This holy week as I remember what Christ did for me and try my best to stay focused, to honor Him and have a grateful heart; I am inundated with attitudes, interruptions and worries of this world. I am praying for you along with myself that we will embrace Christ this week. That we will see His beauty and sacrifice in a new and enlightening way. I want to remember the day He cleansed me and pulled me out of darkness and His love covering me like a warm blanket. Could you take some time and remember.............
     
Isaiah 60
V1 Arise shine, for the light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
V2 See, darkness is over the peoples, But the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you. 

Malachi 4
V2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.

   I had horses for awhile and some ducks,chickens,pigs,geese and goats. I remember the feeling of watching our horse when I would give her oats, she would run like a mad woman and kick up her heels; this was especially funny to watch because she was 25 years old! Must tell this one for those of you who want to know a little about Pastor Jame's sweet wife Heather. She was riding bareback on our young horse,"Tudor", when he decided to buck her off! He ran around kicking as Heather held on by his mane, her body hanging over the side! She never let go! She still has that inner strength too.

That got me to boohooing because this was a time of healing for us. God used these animals and life style to heal us up after a very heart breaking season in our lives. To see Heather stand so strong and support her husband sacrificially, is a tribute to God. She should be a mess emotionally, as many people are, when they have lived with fear and chaos. We can praise Him because He is faithful to those who call on Him, no matter what we've been through. If it seems impossible for you right now, call on Him! He loves the biggest challenges and then shows us off for all to see His handiwork. Have to put some pink flowers here cause I'm weepy and feeling my girlishness.

               

2 Corinthians 4
V6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Oh, Praise Him!

                           Never give up, Never give in!
