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."

TAKEN BY LOVE... AND GRACE...


MEDITATION MONDAY
.
It's still the wee hours of the morning when I write this; still dark outside! Steve and I are still in Boyertown, PA after spending the weekend at a marriage retreat at a gorgeous bed & breakfast - The Twin Turrets. The fellowship of other christians on this journey of marriage was great. The speakers were Biblically based, practical, and transparent. Oh, that's right... the speakers were Steve and me!
.
The topic of the weekend: In-to-me-see (Intimacy) is not always one that's easy to forge with a group of people who come from many different stages of their marital journey. Yet, if I were to narrow it down to two things that I took away from the weekend...
  1. What attracted you to your spouse in the first place? What were the characteristics of his that made you "taken by his love?"
  2. When did your spouse become your enemy? Your spouse is not your enemy! The devil is your evil enemy! (see Saturday's post)

As I have pondered what first attracted me to Steve, I was once again drawn to that little ABC exercise of the characteristics of Jesus. What were a few of the characteristics of Jesus that I saw in Steve and loved about him? That's what I'm meditating on today. Then, I plan to expand it to what I see in him now. I encourage your to do the same for your spouse. Let's meet back here tomorrow and be grateful!
