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."

SPEECHLESS: GOSSIPER TO TRUSTWORTHY!

DAY TEN:
.
In the book 30 DAYS TO TAMING YOUR TONGUE, the author says that when people come into her office and start to engage in gossip or ungodly talk, she points to her tongue and says, "Tongue fast!"
.
It reminds me of the phrase that I've heard all of my life: "If you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all."
.
As I listened to stories of my husband's grandfather after his death, one of my favorites is appropriate to tell here. Papa Sikes was at the local market in a small town in New Mexico when he heard a conversation that was not very complimentary of a "scoundral" in town. In fact, they were saying things that they should not have even been repeating. When asked what he had to say about the man, Papa paused and then said, "He sure can whistle!"
.
Please join me today in taking these scriptures seriously:
.
Proverbs 11:13
"A gossip goes around revealing secrets,
but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence."
.
Psalms 19:14
"Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight,
O LORD,
my rock and my Redeemer. "
