LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY

I feel like this summer was so hot this year! One reason may be because I spent this summer with my  88 year old mother. I discovered that her body temperature must be at least 20 degrees lower than mine.  She felt  comfortable  with air conditioner set between 75 to 80 degrees! I endured by  drinking iced filled drinks and partially frozen bottled  water. I love her and want to her to stay comfortable.   I had  just purchased two unusual cactus plants oline. Then, I decided to go stay my mother for a  few months.  I couldn't  just leave my plants unattended in my front yard.  I know these are low maintenance cactus plants.  But these were my new Babies.  I traveled 50 miles with them loaded in my SUV. They tolerated the ride just fine without tipping over.   I sat the Fire Stick cactus and the Sunburst Aeonium Cristata cactus on my Mom's front lawn.  Now the Fall season has come and th...

In 1999, I was very upset by the school shooting at Columbine High School. I  was  wondering why is this happening?  Did this happen  because prayer was taken  out of the schools? I know that saying morning prayer and pledging the allegiance to the flag in  elemenary  school made me a better student. I respected  my teachers and the principal.  I got along  with my classmates. I  did not  desire to shoot  the principal, teachers, or students at my school!     Now, parents must pray and read the Bible  to their children in their homes. These two tasks are longer  part of the of the teacher's lesson plans. In 2002 Jesus inspired me to began doing Christian picturebooks.   My first paperback picture book is  t itled,  "YES JESUS LOVES ME"  The pictures in this book communicate God's love. It demonstrates how He created  the earth, man,  an...

I have been watching The Gospel Truth series   on Balancing Faith and Grace.  Grace is  a gift from God which you don't have to  earn or do good works  to get it.  ( Ephesians 2: 8-9). It is a blessing to know that  I freely receive God's grace, mercy, and unconditional love.   Jesus told us to have faith in God (Mark 11: 22).  Having faith in God  is necessary for the healing of my diseases. (Mark  11: 22-24;  Matthew 21: 21).  My faith is strengthened when I think about all of  the blessings and healings I have received from God! There was mention of forgiveness  of sin in this series.   Jesus died on the cross for the sins of all men  ( Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 5:3: 1 John 2:2).   I am grieved when  I read about Jesus'  crown of thorns, mocking, spitting, flogging, nailing  of  His hands and feet to the cross,  and the piercing of His side ...

I recalled enjoying being outside until the pests started flying around you. I had these tiny light green tree frogs  on my door in the summertime. My  siste r and son hated them. I had to knock them off of the door before they would enter the house. https://www.businessinsider.com Exodus 8: 3 & 5 3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading troughs. 5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand...
