Treasure from my mom.

​

April 21 would have been my mom’s birthday. She  celebrating  in Heaven 😀 It has been easier as time has passed but there are still some days I think of her extra 

Things I learned from my mom

1)Spent time each day with God

2)Be an encouragement “cheerleader” to others

3)Stay faithful to God

4)I did not learn to play piano from her but my love for piano playing started from her. 

5)My mom had a love for children especially babies (she passed that love to me 😀) 

🎵“I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

But I know Whom I have believèd,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.”🎵

🎵What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see
And I look upon his face
The one who saved me by his grace
When he takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land
What a day, glorious day that will be🎵

My mom loved Psalm 23

Some Encouragement for Today

​

“ But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.” Exodus 17:12

I love this verse/story of how Aaron and Hur helped lifted up Moses’s hands. I always pray that I can be that encourager for others who helps lifts up the hands of others. 

“ Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.” Proverbs 12:25

Today I wanted to share a few of my encouragement verses: 

Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." 

Psalms 3:3 “But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.“

Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.“

Then one of my favorite hymns: 

🎵 Trusting as the moments fly,

Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.🎵

And one of my favorite quotes: 

“ God is before me, He will be my Guide. God is behind me, no ill can betide. God is beside me to comfort and cheer. God is around me so why should I fear"

We serve a Risen Savior

​

”I don’t serve a dead Savior, I don’t have a dead faith, He’s alive and so am I, brought forth from the grave, there is victory for the claiming, every day and every hour, raised to live forevermore in resurrection power!”

“ He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” Matthew 28:6

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

John 11:25-26 (https://dailyverses.net/john/11/25-26/kjv)

I am so thankful that I serve a Risen Savior! 😀✝️

A couple good Resurrection Quotes: 

“Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisd

om on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life”

“No matter how devastating our struggles, disappointments, and troubles are, they are only temporary. No matter what happens to you, no matter the depth of tragedy or pain you face, no matter how death stalks you and your loved ones, the Resurrection promises you a future of immeasurable good.”

We can have God’s peace

​

2 Thessalonians 3:16 - Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Peace is a state of tranquility or quietness of spirit that transcends circumstances. 

This past Sunday on the way to church, Tim and i’s car started smoking. Once we got to church(and a new church at that), our car caught fire. God protected us. He let us get to a safe place.  It is just amazing how God gave peace on Sunday morning. I knew before we even walked into church that God wanted us at the church (we had visited the Wednesday night before also)  

When you go through a storm or something difficult, you can have the peace of God. 

His presence that comes in your heart when you rest in the knowledge that He has a plan, in the midst of whatever you're dealing with. Jesus is with you. 

🎵 But I wouldn't know Your peace without the hard times

Or be thankful for relief without the pain
I wouldn't love the light if it were not for the darkness
Or appreciate the sun without the rain

How could I understand forgiveness without failure
Or feel the warmth of love without the bitter cold
How could I hold Your healing hands without affliction
And be blessed to see Your mercies all unfold
Sure, it's a blessing to be safe, secure, and warm
But Lord, I want to thank You for the storm 🎵

🎵 

Peace, peace, wonderful peace

Coming down from the Father above

Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray

In fathomless billows of love🎵

Beautiful in His Time

​

“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”

“He hath made everything beautiful in his time.” Spring would probably be my favorite season.  I love the beautiful trees. I love the beautiful weather.  It is sometimes hard to wait for spring but it is definitely worth the wait. When we go through trials and hard times it is sometimes hard but God can make something beautiful and use our trials for His  good. We may not see how at the time. Sometimes we can end up helping someone else going through a trial. A good friend told me to keep encouraging.  In God’s time, not ours, He will make all things beautiful!  😀🌺🌸💐🌻🌷 

🎵 In his time, in his time

He makes all things beautiful
In his time

Lord please show me everyday

As you're teaching me your way
That you do just what you say
In your time

In your time, in your time
You make all things beautiful
In your time🎵
