Mercy

We think we have more power than we do.  I know I do… I blame myself for so much… Not being the Mother I should have been… Pushing my children away because of how I speak… But my prayer has always been that the Lord would place my children in the path He has prepared … Continue reading Mercy

Laziness

I love Proverbs, the Book in the Bible.  There is a verse that speaks of the sluggard not plowing because of the cold and when it is time for harvest, he won’t have anything. If you don’t plant, you don’t have anything to grow… I’m not really into plants. Yes, we have a garden, and … Continue reading Laziness

“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ (‭KJV‬‬) “Your calling”… we each have our gift that contributes to the one body of the Bride of Christ. Some are given the gift of prophecy, others the gift of service…some people can speak in … Continue reading One
