copyright(c)2016 Daneille Gray Snowden 2016 WALKING  WOUNDED Imagine this, you get injured and have an open wound that possibly sliced some nerves and ligaments. Yet, you are just too busy to properly get it fixed which would entail; stitching, repairs, antibiotics and most importantly time to heal (including therapy).  As time goes by the outer wound heals after fighting off pain plus possible infection. Yet,  if not attended too; a torn ligament for example, can result in weakness in the muscles. Eventually, it could even affect and injure the muscles and tendons trying to compensate for the weakness of the 'un-healed' injury. Recently, the Lord took me to this particular issue of un-healed wounds. He showed me how it's up to us if we are truly healed within. He gives us a 'REMEDY' to follow. -------------- "He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. He refreshes and restores m...

Instead of all my imperfections (which our countless).    I too...(all of us who serve Him): Must see through our Father's Eyes !   As we do this we shall see a precious soul, created to be so much; by encountering life, touching yet others lives with His Love.    There is great potential in all people, it's just up to them. Yet, for us - we see this in loving others through Him as we become His Hands and Feet to all! 1 Samuel 16:7 "But the Lord sa...

But the nine—where are they? 18  Was no one found who returned to give glory to God , except this foreigner?” ____________________ Recently, as I meditated on the Lord and was just praising Him, He brought my mind back to this portion of scripture. A simple story of Jesus healing the 10 lepers and only 1 man came back to thank Him and give Him the glory. ____________________ Makes your heart sad doesn't it, to see how people can receive such a blessed touch of God; relieving them of horrific pain, and even death and be ungrateful. It's that 'heart' who God is richly blessed that see's WHO and WHERE their blessings come from! "Leprosy is a terrible condition where a person’s skin begins to rot and fall off. Many lepers lose all of their fingers and toes because of the disease. It is very painful and smelly. You co...

copyright(c)2016 Daneille Gray Snowden 2016 THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED "Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference ." Robert Frost When my family was smaller (my husband, son & I); went on a vacation into the lower Rockies. I have had the blessed experience of traveling through the Smoky Mountains; but this was an entire new adventure in itself.   My husband knew my dread of heights and tried to keep me calm. But, how can one ignore the beauty of God's creation in such magnitude, as I inspected those mountains! Then it happened; the road became narrow, space for two vehicles were squeezed tight and the shoulder -- where was the shoulder of the road? Ha! All we saw was 'NOTHING'! My enjoyment of God's great beauty burst and what evolved was panic! It didn't help that the air was actually thinning as I felt myself hyperventilating!  It was fun, adventurous, momentous...

copyright (c) Daneille Gray Snowden 2016 MY LIFE'S DAILY GOAL : Just to touch a life...making an imprint of God's Love within each soul I know! That's all I ask...it's all I want. I want all to know they are LOVED, that they have been planned for a great purpose and they are not alone! As well as; they shall be affirmed in the person 'they-are' as they live out a biblical life before our Lord. I love all people; because of Jesus and His Heart He placed within me! ------------- "On my heart imprint Your image, Blessed Jesus, King of Grace, That life's riches, cares, and pleasures Never may Your work erase; Let the clear inscription be: Jesus, crucified for me, Is my Life, my hope's foundation, And my glory and salvation!" by Thomas Hansen Kingo   (link)

copyright (c) Daneille Gray Snowden 2016 PRAISE HIM ANYWAYS God's really 'got' this!                            How has life with it's UPS & DOWNS, taught you? Well, better way to put it; have we learned through the lessons God teaches us through the storms and sunny days? It's important isn't it? For our sanity, health, peace and even for others.  --- Ok - so we are wading through sewage backed up. Brad is digging this all up by hand (have to wait till Julie comes to use a backhoe). Looks like a complete plumbing job (ha with no pay $...but the payback is being able to ... use our facilities). Then, there is the car- our wonderful car God paid for. She is sick; old blueberry has transmissions problems. Beyond my dh's methods to fix it (as he usually does) Cost looks like a couple thous.  Now, just a couple years ...

That is a LIE! God is One True Amazing God, that when we lay our burdens in His Hands...He will be faithful to complete it!!! Phil. 1:6 " Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Like many woman with hormonal imbalances...GALORE, and health issues that were strange (due to chronic lymes)...my battle to loose weight was a loosing one. I am grateful to my husband who loved me in spite of how bad I believed I looked. He proved the Love God places in a marriage founded on the Rock: Christ Jesus, runs far deeper than the physical. I am a 5'0 petite woman, when weight started piling on; it turned me from an hour glass...

copyright (c) Daneille Gray Snowden 2016 My dear father is 85 years young. A true man of God, pastor, minister, and great leader. We are leaving (hopefully April 2017) to live in Mozambique, Africa to not return for at the least for- 4 years. This is my tribute to him- I want to honor my father publicly and hopefully show other men how a true man of God is to parent his children. MY FATHER'S DAY LETTER TO MY DAD Author, Daneille Gray Snowden with her father -Rev. Paul F. Gray Father’s Day 2016 Dear Dad; I have found myself drilling in my mind; what do you tell your father all you want; knowing that possibly this MIGHT be one of last Father’s Day for him and me.   Well, I don’t have time to write a book; yet I could, (quite possibly a novel). Why me, why of the entire woman on this earth did God give me one of the godliest, loving man there is; to be my father? [Brad (my husband) being the other.] I am sure not worthy, but it helped to make me who...

copyright(c) 2016 Daneille Gray Snowden 2016 Lovely sunset this evening with all the yellow, pink and even purple colors; it was all so serene. God knew I needed to embrace such beauty, He does that. As I was sulking, He pointed me to His Majesty causing me to look up and thus: Praise Him. Then, He said- "My child, I do care about your pains...but when your tears become more about the Lost Souls of Man...then; even you shall see how You have grown more to be like Me." ~ Daneille Snowden "I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh." ( Romans 9:1-3 ).
