Friday at the Well

 This week’s High Lights from my morning devotion with In Touch devoted living by Charles Stanley.

Saturday - May 2nd

 . . . deny ourselves and follow Jesus . . .

. . . set our thoughts on things above, and focus on what is true, right, pure, and lovely.

Sunday - May 3rd

Referencing Mary and Martha:

To have fellowship with Jesus, we may have to leave some things undone.

Establishing a habit of communing with the Lord is essential to spiritual health.

Monday – May 4^th

We have a loving heavenly Father who honors the heartfelt commitment to walk according to His will.

Tuesday – May 5^th

God is pleased when we show His love to those around us, including those who do us wrong. After all, the Lord said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you . . .

Before assuming Jesus’ capacity for forgiveness and love is out of reach for human beings, remember that the Holy Spirit dwells in believers, helping us do what seems impossible.

Wednesday - May 6th

Living a Christ-centered life filled with peace and joy depends upon our commitment to focus our mind and heart on Him regularly.

Thursday - May 7th

God's love is available to everyone. It is inexhaustible. The Lord does not have favorites, but He does have intimates. These are followers who spend time with Him, talking and listening, walking in obedience, and desiring to know and love Him with their whole heart.

Friday - May 8th

Ephesians  4:29

. . . "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear."

. . . pray, requesting that the Lord guide your tongue so your words will point others to Him.

I enjoyed my morning devotions from Charles Stanley this week.  Next week I'll be reading from Billy Graham's, Unto The Hills.

Hope each of you have a very happy and blessed week ahead.

Until Next Time

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 652

 

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 652

1. What's something you may do this month?

I have nothing, after our family lunch on Monday my next scheduled event is the doctor on June 3rd.

2. Hola! Hodgepodge Day lands just after Cinco de Mayo... how do you feel about Mexican food? What's your favorite dish? Do you make it at home or is it a strictly dine out option? 

We love Mexican food and eat it often. I have several favorites, the Summer Special is oh so good, and I love breakfast tacos, and enchiladas are good too.  I can eat a bowl of guacamole all by myself and I'm not ashamed to say so! Sometimes we do take out, mostly we eat at the restaurant.  Our favorite places, Gringos and El Ranchero.

A Summer Special:

1 enchilada, 1 taco, 1 chile con queso tostada

3. When the children of today grow up what do you think they'll say about this time period? What do you most hope they remember? 

I'm sure they'll be like the generations before them, rolling their eyes when they are young.  As for all generations, I hope they walk with God.

4. What advice would you give a new mother? 

I like this from Proverbs 22:6, 'raise up a child in the way he should go.'  And, hang on, you're in for the ride of you life!  lol

I love this from Irma Bombeck: When kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.

5. What's a phrase your mother often said to you? If you're a mom do you say it to your own children?

My mother always said, 'money doesn't grow on trees'! I don't have a specific memory of saying that to my kids, but I'm sure I did somewhere along the way. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Another thought from Irma Bombeck:

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.😊
