Let's Meet at the Well

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, The last Wednesday and second to the last day of 2020. We have come this far!! For those who have not changed their calendar pages since March might I suggest you do so now. Yes we are approaching the end of 2020 and even though it is only a date assigned on a calendar it doesn't make it any less real. We are entering a new year. I live in an area where the days are very short which means there is very little sunlight for me to be able to fully feed my body. Therefore I have been drinking Pedialyte and taking vitamin D3 in order to balance out my body. The Pedialyte brand gives me the electrolytes needed to keep me hydrated without a large amount of sugars and the vitamin d3 known as the sunshine vitamin keeps the antioxidants needed for boosting my immune system. With that being said, I titled this post, "Let's Meet at the Well," because just like the woman at the well (John 4:7-15), we need to hear Jesus say, "but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but he water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." Him, Jesus, the Living Water is all we need! This water has all the electrolytes and antioxidants needed to ward off that which causes us to doubt or fear or be anxious. It purifies and refreshes and renews and strengthens and excites the body and mind and soul. So on this day being the last Wednesday of 2020 may be DRINK of the Living Waters and in the days ahead, 2021 may we, "but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." Abba Father, Praise and Glory and Honor to Thee. LORD as each sister-in-Christ bows her head in adoration of the one who came to earth as a babe and became our Savior who died on a cross so that we would saved from death, may she drink lavishly and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And to Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. May 2021 Be Filled Lavishly with His Grace,

Blessed Christmas To All

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, How to express my feelings about this Christmas of 2020. It is Christmas because - God made a Covenant. Genesis 1:1-2, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters." Genesis 22:17-18, "Indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." And in Luke 1:26-38, the birth of Jesus is foretold. John 1:1-4, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." Hallelujah, how Great is our Lord, how can I not express my feelings of Joy and Hope - "for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is "Christ the Lord." Abba Father, Praise and Glory and Honor to Thee, LORD, the WORD, our Savior, this child born in the city of David, who is "Christ the LORD." Lord I pray that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ would rejoice today and every day in knowing that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of our Savior and because of that birth that had been covenanted since the beginning of the time, she will spend eternity in the Presence of the Lord. May she be filled to the brim with Your Joy and Your Love and Your Peace this Christmas Day. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen. Blessings of Joy,

Ice Skating - Total Dependence on the Lord

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, Getting out of the house and taking a little walk down to the local park where the ice skating rink is located, to my surprise there were people ice skating. How had this happened and when? Just a few days before I had checked it out and still no ice. Of course I hurriedly (I could only go so fast because of the icy streets) walked back home, picked up my skates and out the door I went. Testing the ice for the first time this season I took each glide very slowly. After 35 minutes on the ice I felt as if I could take charge of whatever comes next. I know that sounds weird but there is something about being on the ice and skating where each step could be a slip or a fall. I am totally and utterly dependent upon God to keep me from slipping or falling. And at my age anything could happen. I later found out that starting on Friday afternoon and tirelessly working Saturday and Sunday, the volunteers had applied enough water and the weather had cooperated so that the rink was ready. I am very thankful for those who tirelessly worked to get it ready. If these volunteers had not taken the time to work tirelessly how could it come about. The song, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go," popped into my head and for some reason these two things are related. Ice skating and Christmas. The total dependence on the Lord! How else would we ever be able to take a risk of falling or slipping if it wasn't for our stepping out in total dependence upon Him. As we get closer and closer to Christmas what would be your response if someone asked you why do you think, "it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas?" I would like to reference Luke 1:1-4, "In as much as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us.Just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught." Abba Father, ALL praise and honor and glory to Thee, being thankful for ALL that You give and keep giving to us Your Children. Lord I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that in her life she is totally and utterly dependent upon Thee. And that she could give a response that would be the truth because she has been in Your Presence and received Your Grace and lives in Your Joy and Peace and Hope. In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen. Blessings,

Your Word

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, Have you ever had the experience of knowing with certainty that you heard correctly from the Lord and then have it not come to pass? Such words as knowing, waiting, trusting, and believing, without doubting, are all at the top of the list, as your mind tries to come to grips with the reality of the situation. Today's verses bring such comfort to me and I hope they will for you also. Psalm 119:65, "You have dealt well with Your servant, O LORD, according to Your word." Psalm 119:76, "O may Your lovingkindness comfort me, According to Your word to Your servant." Psalm 119:89, "Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven." Psalm 119:103, "How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:114, "You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word." In reading of Psalm 119, a very lengthly psalm by the way, brings a person to the full circle of the testimony of Jesus Christ, for He is the Word. The world's "words" pale in comparison to the richness and gloriousness and magnificence of Jesus Christ. As we inch closer and closer to the celebrating of the miraculous birth of our Savior may the anticipation of His arrival be ever so special this year. May the anticipation of Christmas this year be so delightful for God so loved the World that... O, LORD how Great Thou Art that You chose to announce first to the shepherds the good news! Abba Father, Thank You O LORD that Your Presence is ever before us. Thank You, O LORD, that Your Eye is upon us. Thank You, O LORD, that, "In the beginning was he Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." Thank you Jesus for creating us (me). May each sister-in-Christ, who is dear and precious in Your Sight be blessed ever so beautifully and richly this Christmas season. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen. Awaiting in Anticipation,

Welcome to the 12th Month

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, December, the 12th month, the last month of 2020 and tradtionally the Lord's birth is celebrated in this month. Being it is 2020 and the way that tradtional holidays are celebrated has changed in many ways, how can we be sure of how to celebrate this year. We are probably not even aware of how it is being changed but one thing never changes and that is Jesus Christ and in Isaiah 59:20-21, "And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever." I am using my bible which I purchased July 7, 1995; why, because for me this is my go to for referencing my walk with the Lord and for remembering dates of births and deaths and more importantly when I need to find something quickly, my fingers seem to go to that passage, which is either highlighted and/or underlined and maybe a date or a word from the Lord printed beside the verse(s). Isaiah 60:1 has a date of 12/3/05, "ARISE, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." Yes, dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, it may seem that this year has been like being in the "depths of despair" and "ashes of mourning" are all around us and a "thick cloud of fear and uncertainty" but... yes, but we have someone who is the Light of the World, the whole world! This Light shines so brightly that EVERYTHING in the midst, around, on top, and undernealth that is hidden causing doubt and uncertainty is exposed. Yes, exposed to the LIGHT of Jesus. Today and for this month may we live each day proclaiming and worshipping and arise, shine for thy Light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Abba Father, Thank You and Praise Thee for Your Glorious Riches and Faithfulness and Beauty. O, LORD I pray that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ, arise and shine. She is a beacon, she is a light in this world, she is a daughter of the King and may she arise in the morning and shine and pour forth Your Glory as she quietly waits upon the LORD asking that she, being a lump of clay, would desire to be fashioned into the most glorious vessel and be used in the most amazing and wonderous of ways in every life that you bring to her. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen. Fashion Me O LORD,
