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, but I plan to begin posting once or more a week beginning the end of 2017. December 2017 to June 2018 will focus on JESUS' "Sermon on the Mount".
Earlier posts follow daily formats, as follows:
...Sunday in the SON
......Meditation Monday
.........GratiTuesday
............Women in the WORD Wednesday
...............Transforming Thursday
..................Family Fellowship Friday
.....................Ketchup and Mustard Saturday.
There's a whole lot here! Take your time to browse.
Please come back and visit often. Welcome!
Because of JESUS, we can be family,

TAKEN BY LOVE... GRATEFULLY....

GRATEFUL FOR ROAD TRIPS! This past weekend, Steve and I headed west to Boyertown, PA where we shared God's wisdom on marriage with a small group of couples. These men and women attended this weekend retreat to enrich their marriages God's way!
.
The fall foliage is still gorgeous and we knew we were in for some great scenery for the trip. It was important to follow the map and road signs from South Jersey to PA. There were a few very out of the ordinary sights along the way.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOURNEY! These two trees, for Steve and I, are symbolic of two people coming from two very different worlds and growing together over the years (in spite of the fence... the boundaries...). Our root system and shared life journey now make us totally intertwined. .
I looked back, yesterday, asking the questions, "What attracted you to your spouse in the first place?" and "What were the characteristics of his that made you taken by his love?"
.
Yesterday, I shared what first attracted me to Steve (in 1970) via that little ABC exercise of the characteristics of Jesus. Today, after 40 years of dating, I see how that list has expanded - no matter what the circumstances.
.
Through the challenges and the storms, I am still taken by the love of a man who makes it is goal to please Jesus... to be like Jesus... and in so doing, he has learned and is learning that to be like Jesus is not always a pleasant journey... I hope my ABC's of Steve capture the essence of my Beloved:
