Forty-Five Verses: Wait and See


Boston-Snow 2017

When I went to bed two weeks ago I really was not expecting to wake up and see the beautiful white landscape. Yes, there was talk of it and some prediction but here in Alabama it rarely occurs. I was up before it was light but I all I could see was white. And then it started. Huge flakes. More flakes. Snow, an unexpected blessing. I  think I was just as excited about staying in my PJ's and pouring another cup of coffee. I was in need of some stillness and rest. Mind and body. I waited as long I could before I woke the kids up, I didn't want them to miss it!Five and a half inches, not bad! Our dog, Boston surely enjoyed it! Defintely a highlight of 2017!
The "snow cat" by Abby and Luke 2017

Reflecting on the "snow day" reminds me of this season of Christmas and the story of waiting on the Messiah. The whole scenario was nothing like anyone would have predicted. The Son of God, born to a Virgin in a yucky ole stable and placed in a manger aka trough! Yet it did happen as predicted and it had the greatest impact on the world thereafter.  Luke 2:1-20 tells the story of the birth of Jesus.  We now await the second coming of Jesus...expecting it! Glory, oh what a day that will be!

Wait and See

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

“He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully.” Luke 4:10 A few weeks ago I was reminded that September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month (Leukemia and Lymphoma) and encouraged me to use my blog to help raise awareness. I am always willing to give a voice to those fighting and winning against cancer. To me cancer never wins. I will never understand the painful process or the impact and loss it causes but I rest in knowing that...ONE DAY there will be no more cancer. Period. You know how sometimes you read a blog or a book about someone's life and you are just blown away with their story? You connect with so many parts of their lives and you gain insight and inspiration immediately. As was the case with the story, art and website of Patience Brewster , you must take a look for yourself at their page! Patience Brewster reached out to me about writing about a post, after reading some of my cancer stories on Blessings, Suzanne. Patience designs Christmas

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,  To see Your power and glory. Psalm 63:2 I read these two verses to Luke this morning, he was the first one up, besides me. It was a great opportunity to tell him how I read the  reference verses that go along with the verses each day. We looked up the verses and read them as well. He thought that was cool (his words). We had a brief moment of discussion and then he moved on. We don't normally get that morning time together...what a blessing! Have a wonderful Sunday!
