‘LIVING IN A PLACE OF FORGIVENESS’

‘LIVING IN A PLACE OF FORGIVENESS’

Wow! Sometimes it’s not too hard, other times it is a battle!

It is active! It’s a choice! It’s a mindset!

It DOES NOT MEAN WE AGREE WITH PEOPLE OR WHAT THEY DID (or do) when we forgive someone!

Understand this, that there is freedom in forgiveness! I’m talking here about the person who was ‘wronged’ - forgiving and attaining a freedom by doing so!

By trusting the fact that God will deal with that person who had wronged us, and know we’ll experience lightened hearts after it has been hurt.

How can we live constantly in this place? By having the mind of Christ!

That old acronym WWJD (what would Jesus do/or say or how He would act ); should be our response over and over again.

 John 3:30: "He must increase, but I must decrease"

Jesus is our prime example isn’t He?

Have ones lied to you? Cheated? Deceived you? Talked about you? Stolen from you? Even physically harmed you? All as Jesus was?

Definitely people will indeed reap what they sow, as their sins will be revealed.

For us now, we have the responsibility to be like Jesus & shine a light in the darkest of places! Even when we get hurt ourselves, we still forgive!

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows: POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag. FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER (Rev. Paul Gray) MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN. ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands. As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace). In three thousand three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken. Today; 2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
