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."

LEGACY

SUNDAY IN THE SON




What a legacy Jesus Christ left us with only 33 years lived on this planet! He was THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. He said that He wanted His followers to be THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. How? Certainly, His Be-attitudes tell us how! If you look at our study of the Virtuous Woman over the last month or so, you will see a connection...
.
  • A VIRTUOUS WOMAN.... fears THE LORD.
  • THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS... poor in spirit - knowing "it's not about her"... she submits to the God Who is in control; she weeps over her sins and the sins of the world that have alienated her from this Holy GOD...

.

  • A VIRTUOUS WOMAN IS... a WOMAN OF WORTH.
  • THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD... meekly gives the reins of her life over to her LORD because she knows He loves her enough for her to put her full trust in Him to lead and guide her...

    .
  • A VIRTUOUS WOMAN IS.... a WOMAN OF WISDOM.
  • THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS....hungry and thirsty for righteousness; she craves the wisdom from above that only comes from her LORD...

.

  • A VIRTUOUS WOMAN IS...a WOMAN OF PURPOSE...
  • THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS... led to be merciful... pure in heart... a peacemaker...

.

  • A VIRTUOUS WOMAN IS...a WOMAN WHO SURPASSES THEM ALL...
  • THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS... willing to go so far as to be persecuted for righteousness sake... to be made fun of... to be lied about... she turns the other cheek... she loves even her enemies... she is a peculiar person... she leaves an amazing LEGACY...

.

This week's theme song is LEGACY by Nicole Nordemann. Other songs by Nicole Nordeman follow on the playlist. After following these words with the first playlist song, feel free to pause it and watch the video.

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me

And I enjoy an accolade like the rest

You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery

Of all who's who and so-n-so's

that used to be the best At such'n'such ...

it wouldn't matter much

.
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights

We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'

But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides

The temporary trappings of this world

.
I want to leave a legacy

How will they remember me?

Did I choose to love?

Did I point to You enough To make a mark on things?

I want to leave an offering

A child of mercy and grace

who blessed Your name unapologetically

And leave that kind of legacy
.

I don't have to look too far or too long awhile

To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy

It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile

Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy

.
Not well traveled, not well read,

not well-to-do or well bred

Just want to hear instead,

"Well Done" good and faithful one...
