Seven things I love

A sweet gift this evening from Michele at Ripening on the vine





As I read on Michele's blog, the "rules" for this award are that you list 7 things that you love, link back to the person that gave you the award and pass the award on to 7 other bloggers. So here is my list of what I love and who I would like to bless with this award.

I love...

1. I adore the presence of my Abba Papa, Father God, Comforter
To bask in it throughout this life. Every moment never ever left alone.
Always His presence is with and within me. I love his character the beauty of His way, and humor and sweetness. That He means only good for me, never to do me harm.
Knowing Him , His love for me first...
I love that He pursued me

2. Oneness the Unity of mind and spirit with my best friend , my beloved my husband of 27+ years. Knowing his heart is for me and that he loved me first.
Great peace is for me in that he is a man whom loves God.
I love that he pursued me.

3. The unique beauty of each of my precious children. The people who they are becoming, the minds that are so aware and knowledgeable for their age. Hearts that tend to chose what is right. This gives me great peace that It will go well with them in their lives, whatever the battle they may face. I trust that they will like who they chose to be. Having being given the honor and privilege and tremendous responsibility to raise them in the way they should go.
They shine in each aspect. They are the force often used to hone and guide me into righteousness (right of heart attitude and mind:).
I love as in rest in the trust that God has shown in me to do so.

4. I love as in respect and fondly appreciate the unity yet the grace that afforded to those around me is means of peace with all men as far as it is possible with me. The hearts of lives around me it is my great fondness to care and LOVE the hearts of men and women (behaviors aside) boundaries yes. But the attitude of It is no wonder that they behave that way. I grieve for the hearts of others and also rejoice over them. Hurt people hurt people.
I love the hearts of those HE loves for He is my friend.

5. That kindness is power.

6. The holiness of all things He has created, respect for the people creatures the earth and all things living and created in the most amazing wonder. I love wonder having that alive within me and those that I know and am surrounded by.

7. I love humility being able to repent and it be easy in coming.
That my heart is soft and has not been hardened or embittered.
That God won in my life that he made a way of escape through Christ Jesus that I am a free woman under his covering through belief alone in Him and the truth of HIStory.

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
