This is a new experience for me, so if you are a blogger, it may seem too simple. I hope you were drawn by the title. I am interested in encouraging and being encouraged here. It is my hope that this will be a place of warmth, caring and sharing. A place of honest contemplation of the best way to deal with everyday life challenges.
I must confess, I want to use every legitimate means I can to reach others with messages of hope and joy. But in this venue, you can join along, because shared joy makes it even better!
If you have been invited it is because we have mutual interests and expectations. The true JOY of my life is Jesus Christ. My life really began when I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 25. So for 33 years, I have been living in His love and learning that He is my all- in-all. One of my favorite Bible verses is where He says, "Neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength". (Neh.8:10) Before I became a Christian, I didn't realize there was real hope for happiness in this world. I despaired of my life, had no power to live above depression.
Belonging to Christ doesn't guarantee a trouble-free life. There will be times of earthly sorrow. But God says in Christ we are able to be joyful in our hearts even when in hard circumstances. Christ gives the strength to go on as we realize He dwells within us as believers!

A Sure Path
God's desire is that we know Him, love Him above all others, and trust His guidance from day to day. Prov.3:5-9 As we do this, all else follows. If each of us had nothing but Him, and yielded to His control, it would be easy. But our struggle comes from all the other choices and options along the way that He allows us to experience.
As the earthly realm is enlarged, Satan works his ways to distract us from God's original purpose...a changed life, a truly holy life, motivated in our hearts by the great love we have for Him. We love Him because He first loved us. We serve Him, because He first loved us. We have faith in Him because He first loved us. Complete trust is fully based on the awareness that the Lord has always loved us, loves us now, and will continue to love us. Not for what we do, but because He created us to love and be loved by Him. Our loyalty and love for Him should reign supreme in our lives, and as it does it clarifies our view and gives us the right perspective.(Rev.4:11)(Ps.119:1-4)
In my life, knowing God's will for me is not always about knowing what I should do, in a particular circumstance. In fact, many times, as I ask for guidance, He reveals or reminds me of the things I know I shouldn't do; the things He clearly reveals in His Word to me. He does not always show me the choice to make, He often shows me a choice I shouldn't make, or a better way. This type of direction depends on a day-to-day desire to be close to Him and to please Him..(Ps.119:133)
Jesus Christ is my enduring leader. Although every human relationship is different, and every personal circumstance new, Jesus Christ is the same as He was yesterday, is today, and will be tomorrow. (Heb.13:8) The sheer wonder of such consistency and His promise! It inspires me to trust Him to lead me through life. Circumstances of life can often seem ambiguous or confusing. He says in His word, He knows the end from the beginning. This means the Lord also knows the order of things that He planned! Therefore, I can trust Him to lead me through to that end, can I not?(Deut.31:8) (Rev.22:13)
Jesus is my enduring lover. I am promised an everlasting love, not based on my character, or what I do, but on His Divine Eternal character and the Holy Spirit within me. Not only will He always lead me; He is also there with me loving me as He guides and leads me. He is my true and faithful friend above all others. I realize an awareness of His presence and His love(Jer.33:3)(Heb.13:5)(John 13:1)
Jesus is also my enduring example of excellence. He embodies precept, promise and power. He is the best example I can follow. He will never falter or fail. He will never disappoint. He will always bless and accomplish His purpose through me as I obey.(John 13:15) (Matt.4:19)(Phil.2:12,13)
In summary,My Lord is good, wise and unchanging. He knows the end from the beginning and has the wisdom and power to lead me from that beginning to that end. He gives me the enduring promise of His undying love.

Our Christmas Miracle
Our Christmas Surprise – A True Christmas Miracle
It looked to be a very humble Christmas for us that year, in earthly treasures. Of course the celebration of the main reason for the Christmas holiday would be most glorious! My husband was the assistant pastor of a church in New England, and we always had so many festivities planned to remind folks about why we celebrate Christmas. We had the Christmas cantata, and caroling to the nursing homes, a Christmas party for all, and a beautiful candlelight Christmas Eve communion service. Yes, it was tremendously splendid and something we always looked forward to so much.
However, early in November that year I had found myself sitting at the table praying about a Christmas present for my husband. I really wanted to get him a new suit. I had seen an article in a Christian publication that told of how a Christian businessman who owned a men's clothing store actually gave suits, ties, and shirts to missionaries and preachers so that they would always look their best. I had wanted my husband to have a new suit which he so badly needed, since his birthday in June. It was shortly after that when I saw the article about Mr.Tatum. I was impressed to write a letter to him and find out if he would sell me a suit and be willing to take the money in small installments, since I had absolutely no idea when I could pay him back.
As I sat there, I felt like I was begging and my pride would not let me write the letter, so I decided to forget about it. Every time I would go to pray or read my Bible after that, it was as though there was a wall between me and GOD. I knew I needed to try to compose that letter. One day, as I sat there, I realized that my husband was the most wonderful, compassionate, hardworking Christian Man that I knew. I began to write a letter about my husband, telling about his labor and sacrifice for the Lord's work. I ended the letter in this way..." I know these things to be true and oh so much more, for this man is my husband!"
That November ended on a sad note. A dear preacher that we looked up to and was my husband's earthly hero, Lester Roloff, had been killed in a plane crash. Although we knew that he was with the LORD, it would make a difference in many lives that he was gone.
One day in early December, a very large package came to our home from Mr. Jim Tatum. A letter enclosed stated how his heart had been touched by my love for my husband, and he had sent Steve a wardrobe of clothes that had originally been intended for his dear friend Lester Roloff, whom he had dressed for many years and loved so deeply! He said when he saw the size I had given him, he knew immediately that the LORD wanted Steve to have these things. (Of course, he didn't know how special that would be for my husband, until we later told him.) And enclosed with the letter was a very large check to buy presents for our children. He wanted us to have the best Christmas ever.
I was trembling by then and quickly called my cousin, a new Christian, and asked her to come and see what GOD had done! I know this was a great encouragement to her. We were dumbfounded as we pulled out item after item. Two suits, a sports jacket, three pairs of pants, shirts, ties, and even an all weather coat! Beautiful, high-quality clothes that would give him years of wear! But I knew the greatest thing to him would be that they were to have been Brother Roloff's clothes. And the fact that everyting was the exact size, was just too much.
I shared with our Pastor about the Christmas miracle, and he too was so touched by the kindness and generosity of Mr. Tatum. He knew the connection with Lester Roloff would be such a blessing to Steve. Steve actually carried a picture of Lester Roloff in his wallet! My husband loves children, and I think the fact that Brother Roloff loved kids so much and had the many ministries for them, touched his heart, as well as his great, uncompromising love for the LORD.
Well, I was able to do some Christmas shopping for the children, and kept busy with all the activities of the season, all the while so excited about the coming presentation of the gifts. I had held out a tie and a shirt and wrapped them. And then I wrapped the big box, and left it in the basement. I hid a tape recorder under the sofa, so we could catch the comments that were sure to come. Even the children did not know, since I was afraid they would ruin the surprise.
When we arrived home from the Candlelight service, it was time. I stated that I wanted Daddy to open his gifts first. So I took out the tie and handed it to him. He commented on it...then I gave him the shirt...he did make a comment about where did you get the money for this...
I asked my son to come with me and get one more thing. We carried the heavy wardrobe box up the stairs and into the living room, placing it in front of my husband. He said, "Now what is this?" I said just open it....by then the children were making comments such as..."Wow, folks she hit a goldmine! " As Steve began to see the contents of the box, he was overwhelmed, but also fearful that I had done something stupid to pay for this.
"Where did you get the money for this?" he said over and over, until I handed him the letter. Then as he began to read, the tears streamed down his face. He was totally overcome with emotion.
"I have to call Pastor", he said. I smiled to myself, knowing that Pastor was probably sitting by the phone waiting. As he made the call, I brought out all the children's gifts and when he got off the phone, we sat and rejoiced at the goodness of GOD to us.
This happened many years ago, but I never tire of telling it! GOD is good!

May Messages Enjoying my Olive Tree
I have been on a calm quest this month. As I sit under my favorite tea olive shade tree (whom I have affectionately begun to call Olive) there is everything I consider to be pleasant. Peaceful calming naturesounds are only occasionally disturbed by some wheeled manmade contraption riding by. The gentlest of cool breezes to enrich what is already an extremely delightful atmosphere with Olive. Birds singing and winging, bees abuzzin'. It must be a similar experience that led Joyce Kilmer to pen his fondly acclaimed poem.
Two views... looking out from sitting under Olive and then facing Olive:
Marital Longevity. HAPPY 66TH !!!
Republished January 27, 2016
To GOD be the glory! So thankful Mom and Dad have triumphed through another year of marriage. 66 YEARS and looking ahead!
Each year is a milestone for any marriage these days, but one marriage between one man and one woman for a lifetime is an awesome and very inspiring example of what devotion to God and commitment to each other will do! This is rare and so very wonderful to observe. The secret is continual consciousness of the Oneness gift God gives couples who strive to build their marriage relationship.
These last few years for Mom and Dad are typical of those growing older. Aging, health issues, loss of many family members including even their daughter, my sister Karen, have opened a pathway rough enough to cause stumbling, bewilderment, or bitterness. Yet they have leaned hard on each other and fed their renewed faith by seeking the Lord and taking one day at a time. Church attendance is a valuable and treasured accomplishment of these latter days, having learned the futility of self reliance in the past. Life has been the schoolmaster of eternal truths found only in God's Word.
My mom is the sole survivor of a family of 12, many of whom she and my dad helped in their last days of illness and aging on to eternity.
My dad, also from a large family, has also lost his last remaining sibling during this last year.
Through these various circumstances, the precious bond and presence of each other has been a tremendous force to supply help, encouragement, affection, emotional strength and support as they face the challenges of earthly living.
So I lovingly rejoice as they celebrate their oneness life of 66 years today!!!
Psalm 48:14 ..."For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our Guide even unto death."
The Ultimate True Experience
I could say, "This was the hottest summer ever!" This would definitely not be the truth. Statistics and records could factually prove that to be an incorrect statement. However, just by adding two little words to this statement I can qualify it to be the truth as I know it. "This was the hottest summer ever for me."
JULY Went By...
Nearing the end of July 2015, I must say that it was basically a usual July, yet specifically there were some atypical aspects. Personally, and not typically, I seem to have gained a resergence of physical energy! I have attributed this to my loving, powerful and prayer-answering God! I deeply praise Him and am daily trying to determine the best use of this precious commodity, so that prior goals yet incomplete, can be achieved and new ones can be sought.
However, even the healthiest version of me has never been able to abide the extreme summer heat, especially if mingled with a high percentage of humidity! Alas, I have therefore not accomplished as much as I expected. Praying for guidance, I remembered the blog and here I am.
Having been blocked from travels by a medical crisis in May and June, I knew it was unlikely the trip could be made in July, but my bags remain packed.
I look to the future with true hope, backed by the promises of God. Even when days are difficult, as I focus on the comforting presence of the Lord and all He means to me and think about His plan for my life l am always inspired and encouraged. I love the scripture that comes to mind...
Psalms 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! 71:20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Divorce?
DIVORCE?
If you are considering divorce you better know; it is exchanging one set of problems for another set of problems at best. If children are involved it will be very difficult for them. In such a serious action reality must be considered. Even in cases where it is felt to be absolutely necessary there will be a long period of bewilderment, hurting and adjusting. Amicable divorce rarely exists. This is the true reality not what you see in the movies or on TV. God provides a plan to do everything possible to look to Him,so a successful resolution might be found . If both partners are seeking to become whole and working together in forgiveness the best possible attempt to rebuild and renew the marriage covenant will exist.However, this cooperation and dedication might not occur with certain individuals. Many times a divorce is a chosen alternative.
If you are reading this and you are in any of these situations:
1. Pray for objectivity and God's guidance to seek the best possible outcome. Be willing to be made willing.
2. Love, above all things, is a commitment to seek the other's betterment. It is accompanied by emotion but commitment and loyalty must lead. True love perseveres until every door is closed to reconciliation. (I Cor.13)
3.Seek helpful qualified support and truth based Biblical counseling.
4.One of the resources I can highly recommend:
www.Divorcecare.org It is
an organization that focuses on helping and guiding families to wholeness and hope, through all truthful resources.
Please I plead with you, make every possible attempt to reach out to these and other qualified caring pastors, Biblical counselors and competent people. If divorce has already occurred you will also be helped to recover and find wholeness and hopefulness in this difficult adjustment.
I am here for you always! I care deeply and will assist you. Feel free to contact me.
Isaiah 53:4 KJV
"Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: "...
Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (A future and a hope)"
The 3rd Day
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
God always says exactly the right thing to me at the right time. This is a comfort and a strength right now in every moment of sorrow and painful separation from the love of my life. The extreme joy I feel for Steve's entrance into heaven is such a contrast to the extreme pain I feel of knowing that truly the better half of me is gone to our forever home ahead me. I am so happy for him but devastated for me and our family. So many of you know from experience what I am saying. Feel my pain and please pray for me as you never have before.
The Strongest Tower
From my favorite seat in the house I see the American flag wave gently today, moving as it will with little opposition from any contrary wind outside.Yet our country, which it represents, in truth is struggling against many very boisterous and contrary winds. Breezes, gusts, gales, storms, and fronts of all types from the local, national, and international scene. Never in my lifetime have I perceived such turbulence against the Land that I Love. "The name of the LORD is a strong tower, the righteous runneth into it and is safe." Prov.18:10 from My thoughts today gtd 4/7/13
WHAT GRANDMOTHERS PRAY
1. Each grandkid will be Healthy, Holy, and Happy.
2. Their grandkids will genuinely seek, accept, love and be obedient to God by receiving Jesus Christ. That they will love His Word, live by it, and if necessary defend Its truth and die for it.
3. Their grandkids will make right choices, even when it is difficult or involves pain or sacrifice. That they will learn from hearing about and seeing the results of others mistakes, sins and failures.
4.Their grandkids will find their God-given talents and develop and use them in a way that will please God and benefit mankind.
5.Their grandkids will realize all choices have consequences and that wrong choices cannot produce right results. To pray daily and follow God's guidance.
6.Their grandkids will realize they are never alone (even in loneliness) or forsaken from the time they accept Christ into their heart and life. HE will truly be their "guide unto death".
Psalms 78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
The Ultimate
Journal Today Saturday a.m.1/19
Not waking up as Sunshine Suzie these days. Go through usual motions. Coffee, meds, straighten up the place, sit quietly for a while gathering my thoughts.
Today my 1st prayerful thought was is there anyone that I can contact for support? I noticed my morning scripture Ps.23:1-6! POW! (Prayer Opens the Word.) GOD is my best support.
The phone rang once. I saw it was an old friend, thought she must've heard of our present circumstances. No, her first words... "No that call was a mistake" I asked how she was. Very brief. She obviously knew nothing of our journey. We hung up.
Back to the scripture. Next verse popped up on the phone. Romans 8:24 "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" WOW! (WONDER OF THE WORD) So much to ponder: God is unseen, but He is real. We can hear His voice. Our hope is unseen, but it is real based on His eternal promises. HOW NOW? (His message to me now) PS.23:1-6 I am NOT alone. JESUS is my shepherd. HE is my provider. HE is my peace, my path, my present help, my protection. HE answers me with His voice. HE abides within. Rom.8:24 Guarantees my future hope. I have the Ultimate Support. BOW (Contemplation,communication,surrender)

Your Personal Independence Day
4th of July is the date of Americans celebrating our independence from the tyrannical rule of Britain's government. America was truly justified in seeking independence from Britain's selfish, ungodly rule. Their implementation of God's law was unfair, and unequal. From that day we established a system based on Godly principles found in the Holy Bible to maintain an indepence from evil-doing to our fellow Americans. This was the birth of America's independence from Britain, and America's dependency on God as a nation!
The essence of our personal individuality as a person is an independent spirit. God created us to have a self-preserving nature to keep us alive. To be otherwise is not normal. Our nature tends to personal experimentation and implementation of what we see before us! As we mature, we assess our circumstances and make judgments about what our behavior should be. This thought process leads us to decide if we need to act.
When we allow our independent spirit to be ruled or motivated by anything other than love not only for ourself, but also those around us, our independence may become a dangerous and destructive force. This is the force of selfishness. Selfishness (putting ourselves first) can be directly counterproductive to God's purpose for each of us.
God's wise plan is for each of us to be willing to consider Him first, and others next, in the same manner we would want to be treated. Note the order in God's greatest commandments to us:
1. "For thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment." Matthew 22:37-38
2. Next, "And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Matthew 22:39
This order is the antithesis of how we usually want to act, ie. do "our own thing". No, no way...every action has a reaction and effect on both ourselves and others.
I am thinking of a story that illustrates how most of us are. A pie is placed before a family of four. One child is directed to "cut a piece first". Thinking that he is cutting a piece for himself, he cuts a rather disproportionately large piece. The parent then says, " Okay, give that piece to your brother. and pass the knife back to me." Then the pie is cut into three equal smaller parts and distributed to the three remaining family members.
We are most like that child. We really want the "biggest piece of the pie". But God our Heavenly father is a parent that will not let us live independently. Even when we are not surrounded by others, we should ask His desire first, since He is ever present, then we act as He directs.
Remember, we do not live independently of others. To do so is wrong and will lead to an evil, unfair way of life. God's formula works! Try it!
