Topic: He is Here
As most of you know, I traveled to Michigan from Philadelphia on Thursday, to visit my daughter. She gave birth to my grandson Saturday morning. God is so good. Lincoln was born at 10:34 a.m. He weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces. He was 22 inches long.
My daughter was blessed with a relatively short labor, just over 5 hours. I am helping to take care of my 2 year old granddaughter who has no clue what on earth is happening. Lincoln and Mommy are tired, but good.
Praises for so many things, especially that I decided to travel ahead of my original plans, as I was originally going to be on the road toward Michigan today.
I will try to post more later.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

I so agree with both you and Carolyn on this one. Being saved is just the beggining, to have an intimate relationship with Christ is the prize and all the more sweeter than just being saved and to have that kind of relationship with Christ is so amazing. The better I know and live in Him the better my life is He always knows best

Have a great day! 
Hi Mary,
I totally agree. The Bible says we are to know Him intimately, abide in Him, that we have the mind of Christ. All over the New Testament, we are encouraged to be like Him and to "put on Christ" and clothe ourselves with His attributes. If we did these things, that would certainly affect everything we think, say and do!
The more we align our lives with His Word, the more we will look, think and act like our precious Lord Jesus.
Blessings to all,
Carolyn
Have a great day!

Hi, Everyone.
I'm sure Trish is with her daughter, granddaughter, and, perhaps, her brand new grandson, so I'll try to do a better job of filling in with the "Who I Am In Christ" meditative study. :)

1 Corinthians 6:17 (Today's New International Version)
17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. a]">[a]
Footnotes:
a. Or in the Spirit
I've been thinking this morning about what it means to be "united with" Christ. I'm thinking it's more than just an issue of salvation, altho' that's definitely the basis. I think it's more of an issue of abiding in Him, of being in such close communion that He affects everything you think, say, and do.
What do y'all think?
Blessings,
Mary

Today, think about how you react to difficult life cir****tances. What happens, when you stumble and fall? Ask the Lord to help you react differently, especially in the area of emotional eating, to make better choices and to look to Him to raise you up.
Oh Mary, my friend, once again our beautiful Saviour has spoken to me through your words. Thank you for being transparent.
Have a blessed day and a beautiful weekend. (I WILL get around to that PM, soon.)
Love,

Topic: Flashback Friday Devotion #29 [Falling 7 times]
Hi, Everyone.
Today's devotion, from my personal journal dated May 7, 2007, has footprints from my feet of clay all over it. I was tempted to write a new devotion, so I could skip this one, but I knew that God wanted me to be honest before you. Here it is...the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Flashback Friday Devotion #29
I'm NOT having a good day. I'm frustrated, in pain, and angry. I'm frustrated because I gained 2 lbs., and even though I told myself this morning that I wasn't going to let that discourage me, I've "grazed" all day. I'm in pain, because of the weather, I guess. I feel like I'm trying to move with broken bones. I'm angry because I believe I am healed yet the manifestation has not come, and I WANT TO KNOW WHY! What else do I need to do, Lord?! I am so tired of this pain!
I've tried several times to get quiet before the Lord, so He can speak to me, but I just can't seem to "get there." I was reading through Proverbs, here and there, and found Proverbs 24:16, "A righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of calamity." I guess I'm "wicked," because I sure feel like I've stumbled, not just fallen.
Later: I've realized that the Lord wanted me to focus on the first part of Proverbs 24:16, "A righteous man falls seven times, and rises again," and the Lord reminded me that I had agreed to leave the timing and results up to Him. I know that I will "fall," but I don't have to stay down. I have decided to rest in Him, not in MY ability to strive and lose weight, with gritted teeth. I have decided to walk with Him, and, when I fall, allow Him to pick me up.
Update: On June 17, 2007, God did another work of healing in my body (my healing has been progressive), and I have experienced much relief from pain. I no longer feel the weather. Praise God!
Today, think about how you react to difficult life cir****tances. What happens, when you stumble and fall? Ask the Lord to help you react differently, especially in the area of emotional eating, to make better choices and to look to Him to raise you up.

Topic: Who I Am in Christ--I have been justified (Rom. 5:1)
Hi, Everyone.
I thought I'd get this going, as Trish said she might not be able to post every day.
Today, we're looking at the 3rd point under "I am accepted," that "I have been justified." The verse on which we meditate today is Romans 5:1, "Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us" [NLT].
Just think of it, sisters, when we placed our faith in Jesus Christ, we became justified, which I think of as meaning "just as if I'd never sinned." That one act of submission on our part, that one moment of saying "yes" to Him, and we are immediately made righteous in God's sight. We stand before Him completely blameless. Amazing Grace!
Who's next? Let's hear what you think about your justification. :)
Blessings,
Mary

Topic: Thurday Coffee Talk
Good Thursday morning everyone! Time to rise and shine! It's going to be a WONDERFUL day today! I just know it! I have you as my friends, a beautiful family, and so much love I am feeling! OK! I'm being mushy. LOL
Our challenge for today is to have a YOU day! Yes, that is right! Even on a Thursday, you can take some time for you. You work hard, you play hard, and you parent hard, so we need to take a few minutes to do something for you. You ARE worth it. You DO deserve it. Buy yourself something, go for a ride, just a get away moment. Whatever you do for you, do it, relax, and enjoy YOUR YOU TIME!
So, who's up this morning? What cha sippin' on? I'm loving my Harry and David Moose Munch Coffee. It sure is good too. Wanna cup?
Have a blessed and wonderful You day Thursday!!
