Remember Lot’s Wife

Luke 17:32
“Remember Lot’s wife.”

Lot lived in the sinful Sodom and Gomorrah, his choice. God seen it was so sinful he would destroy it. However,Abraham pleaded with God for the good souls in Sodom and Gomorrah, and angel appeared to Lot, and told him to hurry, and take his family, which consisted of his two daughters and his wife, as far as we know, out of the city.

I’ve heard this story many times, however, I never seen it like I did while studying this time. The angel told Lot to run to the mountains, Lot refused, and said that he wanted to stay in a nearby city called Zoar because he was afraid that some evil would overtake him there and he would die.
The only reason why God preserved that city was because Lot was in it, because Zoar was to be demolished as well. (Genesis 19:21)

Whether we want to admit or not, God delivers us from things, and sometimes, we say we let go and we don’t let go all the way. God tells you, to leave the low place you have been to go to a higher place. However, instead of doing this, because of fear, we settle to stay in a nearby town.
How many times has God delivered you from someone or something only too have you run right back to it.
The funny thing about Lot, is that eventually, he realized that he could not stay in Zoar. That’s what happens, you will be with a person, rebound to someone who is another mess, and then you will realize you cannot stay in Zoar. God may have set you free from drugs or any other trap of Satan and we turn back to it. God is telling you, leave Zoar and retreat to the mountains. Zoar is no better than Sodom and Gomorrah and God wants you to be with Him and a higher place, and with Him alone.
And He doesn’t want you to turn back.
When God deliverers you from a bad or evil situation, the worst thing you can do is turn back. The worst thing you can do after God has delivered from a bad relationship is to turn back and go back to this relationship out of loneliness or desperation. If the story of Lot’s wife, turning into a pillar of salt, does not convict you enough not to turn back on meaningless relationships with peoples that have no future than pray that God helps you not to turn back into these relationships. Bad habits ..whatever.
She turned into a pillar of salt! Meaning she was literally paralyzed. Turing
back into situations that God has delivered from, will paralyze you!

Run from them! Run as fast as you can.
If this story wasn’t as important as it was, Jesus would’ve quoted it again in the new testament saying, “Remember Lot’s wife” Luke 17:32
Today I charge you, to remember Lot’s wife, and don’t make the same mistake that she did of going back to a situation that God had delivered you from.
* One thing we must realize is that Lot’s wife did not say a word! She wasn’t even called by name. It was her heart that yearned go back to Sodom and Gomorrah. I don’t know if she yearned for friends, family or stuff left behind whatever I Pray that your heart would be changed to not turn back to the Sodom and Gomorrah’s in your life!
Not every place, person,or things of the past who has left your life is a Sodom and Gomorrah. Ask God to give you discernment help you not to turn back.

Baby pterodactyl she’s not !

Baby girl tries to fly …but didn’t get far and the landing left much to be thankful for!!!  Things could have been much different … had she landed under the dresser or TV. She is so smart … she figured out she could pull the draws out and uses them as stairs to get to the top so ..(being a baby pterodactyl) she could fly !  But to her surprise she didn’t fly high up in the sky…but the dresser, the big heavy TV and baby pterodactyl all tumbled to the floor !!!  Now I don’t know about the dresser or the TV but as for the baby pterodactyl she got one of her wings clipped !!  She called her Maga to say “I not a pterodactyl, I not fly !!!”

Thank You Lord that our baby girl didn’t get hurt worse …she sure gave her angels a workout….

And at the same time my oldest grand daughter had her arm in a sling also. She didn’t try to fly or think she was a baby pterodactyl … but she may have wished she had ..it might have been more fun and less pain..      

Maga  (grandma) love’s you girls

Write It Down, Make It Clear

This is the confessions of my mouth; I am fully persuaded that God will do what He has promised. There is no power in denying a sickness exists, the power is in mixing Faith with Gods Word … If you believe you shall receive whatsoever you ask in Jesus’ name.  My God is faithful … I am practicing God’s medicine … Mark 11:23 …..he shall have whatsoever he saith.   So I choose to believe and speak the word in faith.

Ps. 103:2-5

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits;                      

3 Who forgiveth all your iniquities, who healeth all your diseases;           

4 Who redeemeth your life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;             

5 Who satisfieth your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Ps. 107:17

He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Prov. 4: 20-23

20 My son attend to My words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

I believe in the Power tools …. “The Word” - “The Name” - “The Blood”

I also believe in the “Power of Prayer and Praise” so I am singing His praise and praying in the spirit continually.

“Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."

On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"

Life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!

We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or siblings or friendship!

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."

God Bless You..... Now, and Always....

So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine..!.!.!.!

The Birth of a Child

      I remember the joy the pride when each of my children were born. What do you think Mary must have felt the day Jesus was born???

Not much more than a child herself ..alone except for a husband she had never known yet ..they had traveled far from home, she was great with child… riding on a donkey .. it was time!!

Joseph, its time the baby is coming… we must find a place to stay!!! Can’t you just hear this young girl now???? I don’t know how calm you would have been or she was but if it had been me it might have went something like this……

    Ok Joseph it’s time to stop this donkey and find a place to rest,Joseph did you hear me..soon. “JOSEPH” NOW THE BABY IS COMING!” What do you mean there is no rooms? Here we are in the middle of “who knows where” ..where is my mother ..when I need her?

   What? In there? Is this the best you could do? There is cow’s and sheep and camel’s .. you want me to have this baby here?  No time now he’s coming!!! Get the doctor call the nurse ..WHAT..no doctor no nurse???

But from what we read Mary gave birth in that stable with the animals' and Joseph, no one to clean the baby up and lay him in her arms. I guess Joseph wrapped the baby and lay him in a feeding trough.  

   This was our savior's birth ----

I believe that Mary knew all was ok everything would be fine,,maybe she had angel’s there to help I don’t know. I do know she knew who she was giving birth to …The King of Kings …Savior of the world…Jesus!!!! and so did Joseph.

Thank you Mary for being willing to bring this baby into the world for us …that we may live. Thank You Father for sending your son too die for us . Thank You Jesus for for paying the price for our sins … Thank You Holy Spirit for calling Jesus from the dead that we might live with Him and all our loved one’s one sweet day.

… Thank You Holy Spirit for calling Jesus from the dead that we might live with Him and all our loved one’s one sweet day.

Thank You for the GREATEST CHRISTMAS GIFT ever !!!!

And to my loved ones that are waiting there cheering us on …we will see you again!

Happy Thanksgiving

      What  childhood memories come rushing to mind when you think about Thanksgiving???                                                                          

   For me there are many .. but one that came to mind this week was when I was about seven yrs old, grandpa & grandma LeCrone (Will & Ella) still lived on the old homestead out of Helena. We lived on the Finny place out of Ringwood.

   Everyone came from miles away for the family Thanksgiving gathering. Great aunts , uncles and countless cousin’s, grandma’s, grappa's you name it they were there. Also friends and neighbors from all around.

      Everyone come early stayed late, some from far away came the night before and spent the night .. there was pellets all over the place even on the porches. Everyone cooked and helped cleanup and played games like horse shoes, red rover, tag …even the grownup, we had so much fun!

 

   One time after a really hard game of horseshoes everyone was laying around under the trees telling stories…some times there would be snow on the ground at Thanksgiving so it was snowball fights and building snowmen.. and running in to warm ourselves around the pot bellied stove in the kitchen . 

One thing I miss is the big farm kitchen .. we gathered around the table to eat and play games.

Ok, back to the story…. the cousins from NM was here and we went up stairs and was playing with the old phone, you know where you wind the handle to call the operator.. well our coz CE wanted us to line up all the way down the stairs holding hands and he would touch the phone battery and we would see what would happen. WOW!, he thought it was so funny all of us got shocked!!! But whoever was the lucky one on the end got it the most..yep, you got it ..that was me. I can remember that feeling to this day.

   But what fun we had.. it was a workout for our angels I’m sure ,,to keep us all safe. 

So what about your memories??? Share with us!  Have a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!
