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."

PRINCE OF PEACE... RIGHTEOUS...



TRANSFORMING THURSDAY






"Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Do you see Jesus in me at all?"







We've been talking about "Blessed are the peacemakers...." . Yesterday, as I was driving through South Jersey, on my way home from another school visit, I was thinking of the things that "steal my peace". For those moments, all I could focus on was - NEW JERSEY DRIVERS! As I watched hundreds of cars speed by me, going 10, 20 or 30 miles over the speed limit, some were driving quite recklessly. This verse came to me loud and clear,


"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"




Is it possible that in a society where everyone lives for Jesus, that each person would not think of what was best for himself or herself? Aha! Did you know that "Blessed are the peacemakers..." was spoken by Jesus to His disciples in the same "little talk" as "Do unto others..."?


.


As I was meditating this morning, I thought of our memory verse for the month and pondered the transformation that must take place on the journey from...



FOOLISHNESS TO WISDOM




SELFISHNESS TO "DO UNTO OTHERS..."





TURMOIL TO PEACE.




It's quite possible that they are connected. Consider our memory scripture in this transformational manner:




FOOLISHNESS TO...




...WISDOM


HELL TO...





...HEAVEN



IMPURITY TO...


...PURITY




TURMOIL-LOVING TO...




...PEACE-LOVING






INCONSIDERATE TO...



...CONSIDERATE





UNSUBMISSIVE TO...


...SUBMISSIVE






MERCILESS TO...


...MERCIFUL






BAD FRUIT TO...


...GOOD FRUIT






PARTIAL TO...


...IMPARTIAL






INSINCERE TO...


...SINCERE




TURMOIL-MAKERS TO...


...PEACEMAKERS





UNRIGHTEOUS TO...

...RIGHTEOUS











BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTEOUS

PRINCE OF PEACE,

I AM...
