I am enjoying my Irish scone I baked last evening. Very easy , but my scones took longer to bake.. It was more like 25 minutes! But very good!!!
Let us be inspired to give of our selves and of the gifts the Lord has given us!
We are not all able to take a serene walk from our home to find the glory of God, but the music of Tim Janis can transport us to a beautiful surrounds with his wonderful music and nature.
I love this song proclaiming the love of Jesus!
Jesus, Only Jesus
When we consider who our Savior is, how He loved us and continues to every moment, we must be moved to at least live for Him.. that means we love ourselves, our families, our neighbors, our coworkers, and others whom we meet everyday along the way. It, also, means we must open ourselves up to be willing to shine His light into the world around us. He placed us here at this particular time, even in the middle of the pandemic, the middle of a crushing new world order, exploding all about us, and our assignment is still the same, yet, the objective seems even more important as so many are fleeing away from organized church.

Sometimes I will share some great videos on slow living, which demonstrate the importance of living intentionally, but the only problem is when it comes to the spiritual side of many of the videos they substitute using their gained time with meditation practices, or just reading a book instead of reading the Book. I pray when I share a slow living video with you in your mind you will substitute the holy choices for where to spend your godly reading and prayer time! Now one blogger is precious, Jen, who left her LA life as a high fashion model when she became a Christian. She and her husband live in a very modest house on a mountain top. They have really embraced the simple life and I find her vlogs very calming!

We need to be giving our quiet hours over to godly pursuits, not only to grow us in spiritual knowledge, but again considering how to give to others especially in ways to demonstrate the love to God to them. As I write this I am thinking alright, where do I begin; I have neighbors right here beside us who I believe need at least more of God. We are not very friendly, even though we have had the older couple of our age over a couple of times. Because I want too serve God in this way, but am at a loss for what to do... I am going to spend time this week praying for them and for God to give me an opening. I am willing to share with you what happens because I do believe when we ask God for His help in these efforts He is faithful to comply and things will happen! I challenge you, as well, to pray for the opportunity to show love to some one you do not know this week. Even if it is a smile and a cheery greeting. If it is something you wouldn't have done before that is a beginning! Yesterday I saw a woman who used to be a server at our favorite restaurant that closed. She is now working at another restaurant. Now this woman is older than us and always seemed to be tired and a bit frustrated heretofore; she is the only provider for herself. But she looked great. I greeted her and she came over to our table because she recognized us. I told her it was so wonderful to see her again and told her she was looking amazing. She replied that she was really happy working there, I believe that just that very simple dialog with her helped to put that smile on her face.. The fact of recognition and a friendly discourse can mean so much to others!
Powerful words of faith!!!
