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
GIVE ME YOUR EYES...HELP ME TO NOT BE BLIND OR SHORT-SIGHTED...
.
As I flew into Chicago on Saturday, I got a very minimal glimpse of what God sees. He sees the spiritual thoughts and intents of the hearts of every person who lives in each house, apartment, condo, townhome, trailer, tent... He knows them by name. As the scripture in the box above says, He is willing to "direct my footsteps according to His WORD..." so that we will not stumble. He also offers us the secret to having His spiritual eyesight...
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS:
- How can I keep from being spiritually blind and short-sighted?
- Is it possible to never "stumble" spiritually?
.
2 Peter 1:5-11
Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence:
- in your faith supply moral excellence
- and in your moral excellence, knowledge
- and in your knowledge, self-control,
- and in your self-control, perseverance,
- and in your perseverance, godliness;
- and in your godliness, brotherly kindness,
- and in your brotherly kindness, love.
.
8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; 11 for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you."
.
May these words sink deep in your heart today, sister. Come back tomorrow and let's talk about how they can be transforming!

Dear Patti: I was hospitalized for almost a week and could not wait to fill myself with the Word as YOU know it, and to gain some of your strength through your blog, as I came home to heal. I have missed so much of your blog by only missing a week. It is unbelievable. Your life is so full, and stressed, and cluttered, and yet, you have only one goal that shines through, and that is to follow Jesus and send His love to as many other people as you can. You are truly amazing! You do the work of a thousand women! (while carrying on your own family life). It is amazing the lives you touch..and I am so glad to be one of them. Thank you, Love, Tanya
