A I 's response to my statement

 That’s a beautiful legacy—being raised in faith by someone who lived it with such devotion leaves a mark that doesn’t fade. Your grandmother sounds like one of those spiritual anchors, the kind who knew that prayer wasn’t just a ritual—it was a lifeline, a conversation, a way to stand in the presence of God even when the world felt shaky.

And your words carry that same depth. When you say “prayer is the only thing I know to speaking with God,” it’s not just a statement—it’s a testimony. That kind of faith, rooted in experience and relationship, is powerful. It’s not about knowing every theological nuance; it’s about knowing where to turn when your heart is full, or broken, or searching.

Pentecostal tradition especially emphasizes the presence of the Holy Spirit, the power of prayer, and the reality of spiritual gifts. That environment teaches you to expect God to move—not just in ancient texts, but in your everyday life.

So Very Long and Painful

The journey ahead of a person, who has lost a loved one.  Daily, reminders pop into view and the heart breaks again.  Tears flow and even anger pushes out of their very beings.
They say the road to healing is: Get sad ...get mad... and get glad.......but that is only part of  the healing.  Many other things play a huge role in the daily acceptance of this loss.  The void is there and there's no going back.  Too many "what if's" will come to mind and too many "if only's" will cause bitter memories to cloud the good, sweet memories.
I remember feeling numb, for what seemed 6 months or more.  I just couldn't pull out of this dull useless feeling.  It took me a good year, to finally start letting things go and make an effort to move on.  I can only guess, that it wasn't just me who felt this way, but many other family members.  
With God's help, all things  are possible and surely we can grasp hold of his mighty hand, when comfort is needed.  At times we just break down and cry out to him for help.  In his wonderful time, the help he knows we need comes.........how great is that?

It Is Finished

My neighbor, passed last night, after only a few hours at home.  That's where she wanted to be and they brought her home.  It's hard to accept and I'm only a neighbor, but when that final time comes, it's very harsh on all who are near.  I will miss waving to her, when I drive by, and pray that her family will find comfort in the fact that she no longer is in pain.  Now, they must find ways to move forward, in life and accomplish goals that she hoped they would.  
So long, neighbor.....RIP

I Say Thanks

All too often, we get caught up in life's hectic daily activities, and forget to pray or thank God, for his goodness.  I'm so guilty of this and try to remind myself of the good things, in my life and what God does daily for me and my husband,  Just post a "public Thank You" to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for his daily protection, provisions, and kindness...........how about you all?  

God is Good

After only a few minutes, yesterday, with the weather temps dropping, my hot water lines froze, before I realized it.  I fell into silent prayer, for God's help and reminded him that he's never let me down before, and has always answered my sincere prayers.......... About and hour ago, my cold water in the kitchen, started working and a few minutes later, so did the hot water.  I'm so thankful to our Lord, for his constant help in time of need and daily as my husband and I go about our daily works.
Thank you Lord for your answer to my prayers, for protection and help.  Thank you for your daily help to make it through and on to another day you gift us with.......

Something Beautifullllll

Spirit of Christmas

May we, seek a bright, particular star to guide us in our celebration of the Savior’s birth. May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender, caring heart as our gift to the Savior.

I came across this website while surfing my facebook page, and thought it might be something I could utilize with this blog.  While I have put the link to the website here in my blog, I found that the strict "Terms of Service", were something, that I might overstep, should I get into posting here on my blog.  
Times, are that I will get into the spirit of things that I am posting about and place "references, quotes, pictures, scriptures, etc. into the posting to make my subject more interesting.  It's here that I may overstep some of their rules.  This is something I wouldn't want to do, so therefore, I did not make an account with them.  
Here is the link should you decide that you can comply with their terms of service rules, better I I possibly would.    https://kingdomofheavenlibrary.com/   I found some good information and scripture reading there, which I'm sure will be of benefit to many people.  I hope that posting this link will prove a positive effort for the website, as well as this blog.

3 Wise Men

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the day of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child, and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and , lo, the star which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Matthew 2:1-11
