See You Soon Mr. Graham

I did not ever meet the man but my heart is sad today.  Sad for the world's loss of the grestest preacher of the 20th century. At age 99 Rev. Billy Graham has been called home to Heaven.  "Someday you will hear rumors of my death, but I will be more alive than ever.  I will just have moved on to my real home with Jesus."

Billy Graham has made it home and I am sure that he heard the words he longed to hear (and that all should long to hear) from our Lord, "Well done my good and faithful servant. Welcome home!"

Billy (if I may use his first name) was a good and faithful servant.  Due to his faith and obedience many souls were introduced to Christ and the kingdom expanded.  Many will be in Heaven and not suffering in Hell. Many have grown in their own faith and obedience. 

Today and in the days to come we say goodbye to a public figure who lived 99 years and spent them serving and loving others, sacrificing time with his family to ensure that others heard the eternity changing message of Christ. 

Billy, you lived well and now enjoy Heaven. Many of us will join you someday because you obeyed and shared.  Thank you.  You are loved and missed.  It is now up to my generation and my daughter's to take up where you left off and continue to boldly, loving and obediently sharing the eternal and eternity changing message of Christ.

I can only imagine how amazing your first Heavenly Easter will be celebrating Christ in His throne room.  Wow!

"Christ not only died for all.  He died for each. "

My Emerging Reader

So Snowflake wanted to read for her cousin who lives 1000ish miles away.  Luckily we live in the 21st century and I am quite adept with my smart phone camera.  😂 We made a video.  I thought I would share it here too.  Reading is one of my favorite activities, so I just love listening to my Snowflake read.

Keeping it at His Feet

I love to pray.  I love to just talk to Jesus.  He really is my best friend.  It amazes me that He knows me, knows all my secrets, my failures, my inadequate times, my sins and He loves me. He truely loves me. He doesn't love me less than He did when I was younger and skinnier.  He knows what I need to work on but He won't love me more when I purge some sin struggles.  He loves me completely and fully right now. He pursued me. He was beaten, tortured, mocked and brutally killed for me! My name was on His heart when He obeyed the Father on that terrible day. I can never thank Him enough.  I can't get enough of Him. I just love talking to God, the one I can trust with all my tears, fears, doubts, worries and hopes. I am really good at taking things to Him.  One thing I am working on is leaving it there.  I tend to want to take back my fears, worries and doubts. I want to see the future so I know if He says "yes" to my hopes. My big prayer is to complete ou

A Reminder From Snowflake

This morning as I dropped my daughter off at school she walked into her classroom and her face lit up with joy! Her former student teacher was there to sub.  Snowflake loves her regular teacher, but seeing this other gal come back made her day.   I have been pondering her reaction.  This is a hard time of the year for me.  The anniversary of my wedding (marriage lasted for just the blink of an eye), the anniversary of my Grandma's entrance to Heaven and now another loved family member has passed to Heaven and I am still trying to celebrate and enjoy Advent while giving my daughter precious memories.  So many different emotions at war with each other.  Snowflake's joy this morning was a wake-up call. It was a gift for her to have this teacher back for the day.  Snowflake was going to enjoy it.   Do I make the most of the little gifts God sends me each day? Do I fully enjoy them, or do I ignore them and focus on the pain? I need to be more mindful so I am open and am a
