Grace Walk
Walk with Me and work with Me--watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't try to lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with Me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.

-Matthew 11:29-30 The Message


Hidden Treasures
One of the most satisfying aspects of writing
is that it can open in us deep wells of hidden treasures
that are beautiful for us as well as for others to see.

-Henri Nouwen in Bread for the Journey

A Modern Day Psaltery
David wrote psalms to express
what was in his heart.
Seeing no need to hide what he felt,
he wrote with sincerity, and with no hidden agenda.
What he felt was never taken against him.
Pray, dear reader, discern my heart between the lines.
Dinah Maria Craik couldn't have said it better:
"Oh the comfort -- the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person --
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together;
certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then, with the breath of kindness
blow the rest away."

Faithful and True

Winter Sunrise





Know therefore that the LORD your God is God,
the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love
with those who love Him and keep His commandments,
to a thousand generations...

- Deuteronomy 7:9




Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for He who promised is faithful.

- Hebrews 10:23


My third grandson Jeremiah David turns three months old today.

And my heart rejoices...

Abba Father has been so faithful to this little one, and to our family...



No one really knows what lies ahead. We do our best to stay close to the fire of His love, but the truth is, we do not really know the circumstances we will meet down the road as we travel, nor do we have an idea of the events still waiting to unfold in our lives...

But there is One who knows everything.

He is the Faithful One, the Unchangeable One, He whose heart is full of love, mercy, compassion, goodness, yet also perfectly holy and just.

Our lives couldn't be in safer hands!

The photo I posted above is a powerful reminder to me of the faithfulness of my heavenly Father. It is a winter sunrise... when everything is cold, and the landscape is bleak, and the trees seemingly lifeless... Abba, our God remains true to His promises. The sun still continues to rise every morning.


Thank You Father for Your faithfulness. 

My heart overflows with praise and thanksgiving!

Indeed, we have experienced Your mercies which are new every morning. 

Great is Your faithfulness!

You Are So Faithful
by Bob Fitts

Like the sun that rises everyday
You are so faithful, Lord You are faithful





Like the rain that You send
And every breath that I breathe
You are so faithful, Lord




Like the rose that comes alive every spring
You are so faithful, Lord You are faithful
Like the life that You give
To every beat of my heart
You are so faithful, Lord




I see the cross and the price You had to pay
I see the blood that washed my sins away




In the midst of the storm
Through the wind and the waves
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful





When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful Lord


Christmas 2014





My dearest grandson,

Each time I see you, your lovely smile, your gentle face so full of peace, I can't help but be amazed at what the Lord has done in your life.

May you know Him, your Creator, your Sustainer, your Provider, your All in All, the All Sufficient One, as your Faithful and True God.

Jesus is coming again, as a Mighty Conquering King, riding a majestic white horse, and His name is Faithful and True. 

God alone reigns Sovereign over the universe, whether people believe in Him or not, this truth remains.

To Him belongs all glory, dominion, power, and authority! Your life couldn't be in safer hands, dear child.

I declare that you will grow up being constantly reminded of the faithfulness of God in your life!

Grow up surrounded and nurtured by the faithful love of your parents, your brother, and all of us in your family who are thanking God for His wonderful work in your life!

Love always,
Nana
