Pray for them by name.

God's Perfect Work

God doesn't improve...
He perfects. 
He doesn't enhance...
He completes.

Christian Films Encourage Us

Embrace it all- the good, the bad, and the ugly. If we belong to God, He promises to bless us with gifts, talents, passions, and opportunities to flourish no matter what our circumstances. Winning or losing, being humbled or exalted, one of Pops' great life lessons to his grandson Cody is here in our new family movie Mercy Rule. Share this saying with your children: Loving life is the best way of living it!

GRATITUDE

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

HIS Call


When God has a calling on your life, He will not take it back. Even if you are not in alignment with His will, even if you are running from the call, He will not change just because you do! God's gifts and call are under full warranty - never cancelled, never rescinded! -Romans 11:29 You may have taken a detour, but your destination remains the same. God knows your end from the beginning, He works everything to the counsel of His own will, he factored in your every step and every decision. It's time to line up with the will of God and put your trust in Him to lead you on the path to your destiny!

The Two Greatest Commandments...

But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together. One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ “This is the great and foremost commandment. “The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’

Gratitude For Family Time

Lisa, Hannah and Leah visited us for two days with Disneyland in the middle.  On the morning they departed for home, Brian had some visit time with Lisa and shared his heart and life.  At the end of their few minute visit, Lisa prayed for Brian and his family.  This is a treasure for my mother/aunt heart.

MY verse

The LORD helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him. – Psalm 37:40

Ebola Crisis in West Africa

"As I read yesterday's post, once again I realize that ALL of life is in Your hands God...yet as I read the book "Take One" I am reminded that You have given us the ability to partner with YOU.  GOD, I pray for your mercy on our nation and the world.  Help us to respond to the needs of others, not just to protect ourselves but to have the attitude of Samaritan's Purse and Doctors Without Borders.  These organizations reach out to care for others.  As SP does so in the Name of JESUS, I pray you will give them a hedge of protection, wisdom and strength to carry on YOUR work." In YOUR Name I pray.

Thoughts about thie BetweenThe2Eternities Place

It stops me, when I look at the sky in early morning as I prepare for me "quiet time with YOU, LORD"

To get my mind to accept that YOU see me, know me and YOU cherish those few moments I give you --- to accept this is astounding to my thoughts.

I sit there, knowing how I have a rebellious issue in my life - food...that struggle lies ahead of me even as I write this.  My weakness seems more powerful than your strength -  NO, NO, NO!!! But it feels that way.  Oh, how patient YOU are with me.  Will I ever win the battle over this issue?

HIS NAME 18

JAH  "I AM" 
THE ONE WHO IS THE SELF-EXISTENT ONE

Shorter form of YAHWEH.  
If is often used when combined with other names or phrases.  
Hallelujah means "Praise Yah (the LORD), 
Elijah means "God is Yah (the LORD)," 
and Joshua means "Yah (the LORD) is my salvation." 

God never changes.  
HIS promises never fail.  
When we are faithless, HE is faithful.  
God promises HIS continuing presence.

HIS NAME 17

TSIDKENU   THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

All people sin and fall short of God's glory, 
but God freely makes us righteous through faith 
in Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:22, 23)  

God promised to send a King who will reign wisely 
and do what is just and right.  
The people will live in safety. (Jeremiah 23:5, 6)

Jesus is the King who would come from David's line, and is the one who imparts HIS righteousness to us.
