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."

MERCY CAME RUNNING...AMAZING GRACE TEACHES...

MEDITATION MONDAY
.
Today has been a day of remembrance for many of us. I saw a facebook post that I tweaked a little and made my own today:
.
"Ending the day REMEMBERING...
thank you friends...
thank you FRIEND...
"Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends"
- Jesus"
.
Yesterday Steve shared a powerful and encouraging message on GRACE. He entitled it: GRACE: LEST WE FORGET. He used words and phrases like,
  • "Remember!"
  • "Grace is the master teacher!"
  • "We need grace!"
  • "God gives grace!"
  • "We were created to be vessels of grace!"
  • "Grace saves!"
  • "Grace justifies!"
  • "Grace transforms!"

.

Two words that I see alot together in the Bible are "mercy" and "grace". Throughout this week, will share different excerpts of Steve's Sunday sermon, connect the words "mercy" and "grace", and give you bucket loads of encouragement.

.

For today, let's join Steve in meditating on Ephesians 2, "lest we forget":

  1. At one time we were dead in our sins.
  2. We walked according to the "prince of the power of the air".
  3. BY GRACE: God had "mercy" and made us alive in Christ!
  4. BY GRACE: God rasied us up and seated us with Him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
  5. BY GRACE: God saved us through faith!

So, REMEMBER when we were seperate from Christ, having no hope and without God in the world (vs. 12)

.

6. BY GRACE: God brought us near by Christ's blood.

.

7. BY GRACE: We are ONE in Christ through the cross and share the same Spirit!
