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."

HE'S EVERYTHING TO ME...FATHER KNOWS BEST....


From the time our children were in utero, we prayed for their lives, their futures, their future spouses. This past week, we once again witnessed answers to those prayers as we spent time in Chicago with family for Jordan's graduation from medical school. Jordan's wife, Jacqueline, has been such a blessed answer to our prayers for being just the spouse for Jordan! Icing on the cake has been Jacqueline's family! Jacqueline was raised in a small town in Kansas with her parents and two sisters. They lived in the same town with both sets of grandparents. All went to the same little church and loved and worshipped God together. As I think of this family, there is one word that repeatedly comes to mind: "GOOD!" The Keesee and Wood families are GOOD people through and through! I'm sure many would refer to them as "salt of the earth."
.
Today, I am grateful for Bob and Sharlene Keesee and the heritage in the LORD that they have passed down to Jacqueline who will now pass on God's love to our grandaughter, Chloe. Here is baby Chloe with her parents, Jordan and Jacqueline and her maternal grandparents, Pappy and Gram (Bob and Sharlene Keesee) after Jordan's graduation last Friday. Thank you, God, for such loving people!

It was a special time of love and fellowship. Jacqueline's sister, Annie, and her fiancee at the front left will marry in July. Again, it was a time that confirmed for me that as I pray, nothing doubting, that my Father in heaven will take care of all of my needs and the needs of my husband, children and grandchildren. After all, Father knows best! I am so grateful that He does!
