A jigsaw puzzle is not complete if some pieces are missing! 

You will never be whole again if you withhold some of those broken pieces from the new heart He is creating.

Psalm 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit

Choose The Level Of Your Happiness

A modern day psychology book, The Law of Life, states “We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.” A survey in the book revealed that we usually take for granted 80% of the blessings in our lives, therefore we are only 20% as happy as we could be! Consequently the degree to which we are thankful determines our happiness.

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Celebrating The Beginning of The End of World War II

Screen Shot 2016-06-06 at 11.30.15 AM

As a toddler I celebrated with my family in Belfast Northern Ireland as our British troops with some 156,000 American and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Forever grateful to the many who paid the ultimate price that we can celebrate freedom.

Remembering my mother on her birthday and thanking her for giving me life as I reflect on this photo taken on the day of my christening when I was dedicated to the Lord.

Freedom is Never Free

Screen Shot 2016-05-26 at 6.41.17 PM

Having had the honor to serve in the Women’s Royal Air Force I realize the sacrifice of so many at home and abroad in order that we might be free. This Memorial Day may we remember and honor those that have paid and are paying the price for our freedom, many of whom have paid the ultimate price. It may be a gift but remember to give thanks to those who are paying for that gift of freedom by being willing to lay down their lives.

Never abuse or take for granted your national freedom.

A sobering word to those who would speak out in condemnation against our military, just remember it was their sacrifice that paid for you to have the freedom to speak out against them.

FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE!

This brings to remembrance the ultimate price that was paid for our spiritual freedom by His willingness to lay down of His life on Calvary. Remember to thank Him for this gift of spiritual freedom.

2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed

A sobering word to those who would speak out against the Lord, just remember He was the one who gave you the freedom to accept or reject His Sacrifice of Love.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve;:but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord

Never abuse or take for granted your spiritual freedom.

Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh.

FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE

You may have never served in the military but remember, as believers, we are enrolled in the army of the Lord. One day we may be required to lay down our lives for His Kingdom, as many saints who have gone before us, who have paid that price for a martyr’s crown. We need to be trained in spiritual warfare for that battle is a much greater battle than we can see with our physical eyes.

Ephesians 6:12-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called.

FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE

CHALLENGE: Are you enrolled in the Lord’s army or are you absent without leave? He is calling you today for active duty!

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
