Blessed 2017 !

Honor her for all that her hands have done

My dear mother turned 73 today!
Thank you Mom, for everything you've done and are..


"She is clothed with strength and dignity;
    she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
    and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done."
~Proverbs 31:25,26,30

Jesus has overcome the world

"Joy is based on the spiritual knowledge that,

while the world in which we live is shrouded in darkness,

Jesus has overcome the world."

~Henri Nouwen

Dare to love

"Dare to love and to be a real friend.

The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer

to God as well as those whom God has given you to love."

~Henri Nouwen

If God was cultured

"If God was cultured, as most Christian people wish He was,

He would be useless to Christianity.. But God is a Wìld Man. Thànk God"

~Rich Mullins

Loves you as you are

"God loves you as you are, and not as you shòuld be,

for we will never be, as we should be."

~Brennan Manning

Peace, love and joy

"Power, success, happiness, as the world knows them, are his who will fight for them hard enough;

but peace, love, joy are only from God."

~Frederick Buechner

It is His joy

"No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven,

and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts."

~A.W. Tozer
