Gods Own Masterpiece!

Image
As it turns out, this is my first post of the year.  It has been an eventful one so far.  Towards the end of March I had to say goodbye to my Gracie.  She had been my faithful companion for nearly 12 years but in the end, she was too frail and weak and as much as I wanted to hang on, we had to let her go.  I still miss her soft caring eyes and her happy tail, but one thing I know - she lived a good life and turned out to be all the dog she could possibly be. We also had some good news as we welcomed a new member into our family in May.  God’s own little masterpiece, baby Riley joined us.  She is such a sweet, happy baby and I am sure Father God pulls back the clouds every morning just to get a little glimpse of her.   Just after she was born, I remember reading a quote where someone said that these little babies are just on loan from God and that He cares for them infinitely more than their earthly parents ever could.  There is therefore no n...

Sheep Talk..

Image
About God speaking, us hearing and why being called a sheep is actually a good thing… I remember one of my favorite preachers sharing what happened to him when he was still young and learning.  He was getting ready to go on a missionary road trip with this older, more seasoned preacher.  When they got into the car, the older man said that they needed to pray and ask the Lord for a safe journey and His blessing on their trip.  The young man quickly started to ramble off a prayer which included a bunch of spiritual warfare words intended to make all of hell tremble.  When he was done and the smoke of his assault on hell cleared, the older man took his cup of coffee with one hand, and the steering wheel with the other.  As he started driving, he began talking to God like one would with an old friend - just continuing a conversation where he previously left it.  The younger man became very irritated with the ease in which the older man was able to enter the pre...
