February 26–Birthdays, Blessings, and Love

Good Monday morning! Are we ready to start this week? I may be a little tired today—I had a busy. but awesome time Saturday with some really great ladies in Clarksville,AR. And I started showing my house yesterday—and that’s a whole thing, thank you HGTV! 


Today is Georgia Caroline’s birthday! My baby girl. My blessing baby, the miracle. The one that God sent to me when I was about to lose my Daddy (George) in a tragic accident. As if God said “Yes, it’s time for me to call GT home but I’m sending you a comfort, the best gift I have for you,” and that tiny, blue eyed, blond-headed, sweet little girl who loves Jesús with all her heart has been one of the greatest delights of my life. 


“Don’t you see that children are GOD ’s best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children! Your enemies don’t stand a chance against you; you’ll sweep them right off your doorstep.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭127:3-5‬ ‭MSG‬‬


I often think how I learned about the unfailing, permanent, inexhaustible love of God from my Daddy. I always knew without a doubt that if I’d been president of some company or in prison somewhere it would have made no difference on how my Daddy loved me. He’d be coming to see me either way. That’s how he taught me to love my kids. With abandon, all out, full force.


And if Dad and I could start to do that just a little, I know we’ve only just scratched the surface of the unconditional, total abandonment with which God loves us. Full out, full force, straight on crazy love. With so much force behind it I am blown away. 


“Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:35, 37-39‬ ‭HCSB‬‬


Thank you Father for your blessings for speaking love over us each and every day. We are your children and you love us with an unfathomable love that does overwhelm us. We praise and lift you high you are the Great God Jehovah, the only El Elyon, our Messiah. Amen and amen. 


Love you dear one, 

Pam

P.S. Happy Birthday Georgia! 🎈

Happy Friday. It’s the end of another week and we have had more opportunities to share the love of Christ with those around us and sometimes that takes quite a bit of effort. I don’t know about you, but I’m not always anxious to embrace others and really listen to them or share with them (especially those who I don’t know well). Sometimes, I just look at them and think “Are you for real?” I don’t always agree with people over politics, sports or of course, religion. And let’s face it, we’d rather spend time with people we like and mostly agree.  And then I read my Bible. God hasn’t called us to sit in our little groups with only those we naturally gravitate towards, but to love people—all people, even those who aren’t necessarily loveable. In this passage, Paul writing to the people of Colosse remarks on how wonderful it is that they truly love others. That love must have really been something over and above the normal and he tells them that it is evident that it comes from the Holy Sp

Happy Wednesday to you. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I went to Sams. I was out of things like trash bags, toilet paper, and chicken, so off I went. I like going to Sams because there is always lots to look at and the isles are nice and wide. Everytime I’m there, I am amazed at how much stuff and everything from diapers to TVs to mangos to beds. It just seems incredible that so many things in such quantities are all under one roof.  King David never saw a store with as much stuff aa Sams of course, but he did see countless miracles and understand that God has plans. He knew from creation and history that he was serving a God of miracles and he know that God loved him and his people and would take care of them. He was amazed and awe-struck by the fact that a God who had done such great and mighty things not only cared about his people but that He loved them with such a great love.  “Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can co

It’s Thursday and I woke up to the blowing wind! Lots of it—I’m dreading Boomer waking up and having to go outside with him. That harsh, bitter wind seems cruel and almost evil. But I’ll wrap myself up with a fe layers and boots and brave it all.  Sometimes I think we try to do that with things we know aren’t right—things that are evil. We try to wrap ourselves up and just wade into it, but Paul tells us we should reject it—stay away from it. “Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:20-24‬ NIV When he wrote this he’d been in Berea and the Christians there diligently searched the scriptures to make sure everything Paul said was in line. Paul here is encouraging the Thessalonians to
