Put On Your Easter Bonnet!

As I prepare my heart to meditate on the ultimate sacrifice that took place on Calvary I also prepare my Easter bonnet to celebrate the glorious resurrection! I believe as Christians, we should outwardly display the joy in our hearts with all the beautiful colors God created especially on Resurrection Day more than anyone else in the world.

This is the hat I created and wore Easter Sunday at church many years ago before going to New York to be part of the Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue.

This hat was used as a witnessing tool to give us an awesome opportunity “to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.” 1Peter 3:15 

We had our own Ticker Tape parade on Fifth Avenue as we strewed the street with thousands of pamphlets declaring “He is Risen!”

Come on ladies get your Easter Bonnet ready!

He thinks you are worth Good Friday!

Romans 8:31-32 If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things 

images-4

Even though none of us are WORTHY He thought we were WORTH the life of His only Son.

And even when we are tested He is praying and He is believing in us that our faith will not fail.

Luke 22:13 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

This is one of my favorite scriptures when I consider how incredible it is to know that our Great High Priest is interceding and praying for us even when we are in the depths of trials and temptations and that He believes we will make it through! How awesome! If He believes in you that much I want to encourage you to believe in yourself today!

A Shepherd Boy named Patrick

March 7, 2015 by 1 Comment

Did you know how Saint Patrick came to be in Ireland far from his home town of Dumbarton on the river Clyde in Scotland?

From his early confession we learn that, at the age of sixteen, he was captured by a band of Irish pirates, who sold him as a slave to a Druid chieftain in Northern Ireland. Until his captivity Patrick had no real experience of God or salvation even though he had been raised in a Christian home, where his grandfather was a minister of the gospel. Here are his own words, “I was sixteen and knew not the true God, but in a strange land the Lord opened my unbelieving eyes and I was converted.” He realized that God in His mercy had allowed his captivity to take place so as to lead him to a new and better life. With the sufferings of exile had come the understanding of salvation.

Cinderella Story

February 21, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Look what I saw while visiting San Antonio Texas yesterday? Pumpkins really do turn into Cinderella carriages and believe or not there are “Happily ever after stories”.

If the mind of a  fantasy pen can script a romantic coach out of a pumpkin then surely the Hand of  the Master Potter, who is love and the creator of love, can mold  a “Happily Ever After Story” out of broken lives.
