Greed, coupled with unscrupulous savvy  can accrue great worldly wealth, but at what cost?! Love, coupled with fear of God will, through humble generosity   accrue great heavenly treasure of unfathomable gain!!  Which 'wealth' do we pursue? Who consumes our thought? Who thrills our soul? With the word TARIFF weighing on many minds aren't you SO thankful for Who IS, FOREVER FAITHFUL/TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE. You Are Mine No Friend Like Jesus All That Thrills My Soul is Jesus Lest care for temporary gain dictates what we pursue Lest prayer is a pious refrain or Duty's d ..read more

Farewell, dear January...

January has been watered with many a private tear and strengthened through many a private prayer! Thank-you, everyone who has been part of this army of casting our cares on God! January granted some much needed down-time, though not totally by choice but due to  a variety of cold and flu bugs...  January has given me a start in tackling some long-procrastinated tasks;  organizing-purging-cleaning January has thrilled my snow-loving 'inner child' with heaps of it!! (good, old-fashioned winter in Ontario) January always makes me extra-thankful for warm homes and simple ..read more

Create in me a clean heart, O God;  and renew a right spirit within me. Ps.51:10 Yesterday on Facebook, my youngest sister  shared a treasured memory, from three years ago... all the more treasured now,  because never again will we three be together  on this side of Heaven! (I'm so thankful someone offered to take a picture of the three of us) Click HERE for the last pic of the three of us, on Lucy's last birthday... (We three were together on my birthday in June as well but no one thought to take a picture) From left to right, Marlene, Lucy, Janet Loss fine-tunes our ..read more

Phil.2:3-4 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride,  but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.  4Each of you should look not only to your own interests,  but also to the interests of others... 'Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you,  do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.'  Matt.7:12 Galatians 6:2 Carry one another’s burdens,  and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.  Outdo yourselves in honoring one another. A new d ..read more

Regarding Life's 'Musts'

Today's post was inspired, in part,  by a comment Jim (my husband, a truck driver)  made this morning, as he envisioned another week  of snowy roads, winter driving etc... Not in disrespect to my 'I will pray for you' he simply stated the matter of fact/must; 'all your prayers don't take away the fact that I still have to face the weather and the highway...' What a picture of life for all of us!!!  and what a comfort of love! When we pray for each other, 'for God to guide and keep' the prayer does not take away the 'road ahead'   but suddenly, gloriously  a m ..read more

Happy Last Weekend of January 2025...already?!! Last Sunday evening a much belated birthday celebration was enjoyed (due to many cold and flu postponements) in honour of the little lad who turned Jim and I into grandparents! Happy 8th birthday, Grandson Ps.40:5 Many, O LORD my God,  are Your wonderful works which You have done;  And Your thoughts toward us   cannot be recounted to You in order;  If I would declare and speak of them,  they are more than can be numbered. (find the whole glorious chapter at the end of this post) The goldfinch doffed of yello ..read more

Genesis 15:1 ...Fear not,  Abram, (Janet, and all who believe.) I am Thy Shield and Thy exceeding great reward. Prayer is the greatest power-source in the universe. Why do we so often settle for something/someone less than the Best?!!  Through God's Word and humble prayer we, through Him, become who He created us to be We will never be all we or others wish us to be... Until/unless we have been crucified with Christ and 'it is no longer I but Christ in me' then we can be infinitely more  than thought humanly possible, not to please people, but, by and to the honour and glory ..read more

Faith's Sacred Enrollment

Through what lies behind we are being prepared for what lies ahead! *** Regret has but one merit; to learn from it *** God cares for each of us beyond our wildest comprehension; and invites us to cast our cares on Him! Why do I/we often attempt to shoulder care as if He didn't care?!! *** What great fun and frustration, as we cheer on our favourite teams, for better or worse! When we put our faith in God we become part of a 'team' whose 'Coach' puts us through drills we often don't recognize unless/until they produce His desire's sacred result; a more humbly prayerful people. Oh Lor ..read more

Lam.3:22-24 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.  “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” Quicken us, Lord, with Your Spirit, with wealth of Thy wisdom Lest we would, for some earth-trinket forfeit Heaven's Kingdom Lest through the love of an idol we lose Intercession Lest the tongue we do not bridle hinders sin's confession Lest by breaking one commandment we offend all others Lest, by erran ..read more
