It is GOD who BLESSES and TRANSFORMS...

This is a blog for women (not just moms) who:

(1) Desire to be transformed by JESUS' LOVE, HOLINESS, AND GRACE;

(2) Believe that GOD'S WORD is the true Spirit food for HIS HOLY SPIRIT who lives within us;

(3) Submit to GOD and walk this journey of life with HIM transforming us more and more into HIS likeness.

It's a blog about the POWER OF TRANSFORMED LIVES. Let's begin with yours and mine and pass it on... 1 + 1 + 1...

Since GOD's HOLY SPIRIT lives inside a christian, let's choose to be nurtured and transformed by feasting daily on HOLY SPIRIT food - GOD's WORD - The Holy Bible..

My regular posts stopped in 2013, with a major move and the chronic illness and eventual death of our oldest daughter. Yes, we grieve daily, yet I am determined to continue to let the LIGHT of my LORD and SAVIOR shine through me. I have tried to start posting again, over the last few years, but have not been consistent. So, I think the biggest blessing for you and me both will be to intersperse some new posts while revisiting some of the former posts. Let's begin with "Oh, the JOY!" as we head into living through Fall 2019; meeting back here 1-2 days a week.

If you need daily encouragement, you will find plenty by clicky on past posts. When reading earlier posts, you will see that I often posted daily, following this format: ...Sunday in the SON, Meditation Monday, GratiTuesday, Women in the WORD Wednesday, Transforming Thursday, Family Fellowship Friday, Ketchup & Mustard Saturday.


There's a whole lot here! Take your time to browse.

Please come back and visit each week. Welcome!

Because of JESUS, we can be family,

Patti





TRANSFORMED MOMS:MOMS TRANSFORMED

Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS


SUNDAY IN THE SON


If you were in my TREASURED IN MY HEART class this morning,

I did not get to this song...although I did share the concept:

"Hang on...even if it's just with your fingernails...

never, never, never give up!"

The first song on our playlist is this week's theme.

The playlist plays only part of the song

and I have that part made bold below:

THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS


by: David Phelps


1.
It’s the only thing worth life and death.
It’s the first moment and the final breath.

It’s a broken heart keeping a solemn vow

And a lost soul being found.

You pray for faith when it’s hard to believe.

You choose to stay when it’s easy to leave

And when hope is gone

you’re the one who keeps holding on.


CHORUS:


That’s what love is

When you give until there’s nothing left

And it makes you give the very best.

That’s what love is.

It can make you laugh and make you cry.
It can let you down and lift you up so high

When you find the only reason left to live.

That’s what love is.


2

It’s the dream you give up for someone else.
It’s being strong whenyou’re weak yourself
Though it tears you up you trust again.

Hatred loses and forgiveness wins.

You turn your cheek when you want to fight.

Sell all you have and lay down your life
And when hope is gone

you’re the one who keeps holding on.


SING CHORUS AGAIN


It’s reaching out and holding on

so someone else will know.
Love is in the not letting go.



SING CHORUS AGAIN






THIS IS THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING...



A time in the United States of America
that we set aside to focus on thanksgiving.
GOD set aside SONDAY for us to focus on
THANKSGIVING FOR JESUS CHRIST.

.

There is no greater thanksgiving
than to thank GOD for the love
that He has lavished on us.

.

My thanksgiving gift to you is the following
scriptures and videoes about a father's love.
You may not have time for it all now but when you do,
it will be a treasure beyond measure.
To get the fullest story, start with the first and watch all four.
Can only do one? Watch the last one!



John 5:19-20
19 Jesus therefore answered and was saying to them,
"Truly, truly, I say to you,

the Son can do nothing of Himself,
unless it is something He sees the Father doing;

for whatever the Father does,

these things the Son also does in like manner.
20 "For the Father loves the Son,
and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing;

and greater works than these will He show Him,

that you may marvel."

.
.
John 5:30
"I can do nothing on My own initiative."

.
John 15:5-14

"I am the vine, you are the branches;
he who abides in Me, and I in him,

he bears much fruit;


for apart from Me you can do nothing.

12 "This is My commandment,
that you love one another,
just as I have loved you.
13 "Greater love has no one than this,
that one lay down his life for his friends.

Wow. That was so powerful! I couldn't watch it without crying. That dad had so much strength and courage.

I CAN do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Thank you!
