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."

IN ME...A SPIRITUAL HERITAGE

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Catch Up and Must Do!

.
I love the holidays! I love the time spent with family as we celebrate our bond in Christ and family together. I remember the wonderful times of family and fellowship we had in this room in our home in York, Nebraska. It was not unusual to have dozens together here as either spiritual family, physical family, or both. I remember seeing the new millenium in together with about 40-50 Sikes in this room. We celebrated graduations together with Kleins/Sikes in this room. Steve still refers to this room as one of his favorite places on earth.

This holiday season, we won't all be together in body. Although plans may change, I plan to be with 3 of our children and families in the Kansas City area. Steve and Jess will be here due to health reasons. Some of the Sikes will be converging on Wichita, Kansas for their Thanksgiving together. The Klein's will be in Missouri and Alabama. The Spirit of God will be in all of those places! What a heritage!

This week as we've talked about what the Holy Spirit does in our lives, we've been reminded that the HOLY SPIRIT bears witness that we are children of God and as children of God, the HOLY SPIRIT grows spiritual fruit in our lives. Reading the marquee, this week, in front of our church building attests to it. In Christ, our spiritual inheritance is "out of this world" and "to die for". What a heritage!

Romans 8:14-17

.

For all who are being led

by the Spirit of God,

these are sons of God.

For you have not received

a spirit of slavery leading to fear again,

but you have received

a spirit of adoption as sons

by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit

that we are children of God,

and if children, heirs also,

heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,

if indeed we suffer with Him

in order that we may also

be glorified with Him. "
