We Are Family! (#137)



Reflecting on my Singles Promotions visit to Kings Chapel Church, Spooners Hill recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Body of Christ is indeed a family.

Members of this family are located at several churches and within various denominations, but the unit is intact.

It would seem that through my visits I am discovering an expanding family where there are brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers who have extended appreciation, love and promises of prayerful support.

That is family!

When the Church ceases to extend these graces – all is lost.

And so, I give thanks and a shout-out to my “family” at Kings Chapel – Pastor Yearwood, his lovely wife, elders and congregation for their royal welcome and generous support.

We are indeed family!

Giving Life

Image
There I was enjoying a program on television when suddenly there was a loud "boom!", then total darkness both in and outside as well. Away I hustled to find candles in their designated spot. Soon the house was lit with the soft, dim glow of candle light. Fortunately, this was short-lived and the electricity was restored. After this, I felt like some piano playing was needed at this time, and went to the Music Room. When I got there I found my keyboard still plugged in to the  surge  protector. Alas, I could not not play my keyboard  because apparently the sudden  surge of electricity had knocked out the surge protector!   In other words it had given its 'life' to protect my keyboard! You know, it reminded me of God's Salvation plan.  Jesus' intervention in our lives was a rescue mission. His selfless sacrifice involved the giving of His life to save us. We are protected from the judgement of a Holy God because His son Christ Jesus,  paid the ultim

God's Action File!

"...Don't be afraid Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understsanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven..." (Daniel 10:12 NLT) I will admit being organised is not one of my attributes.  But because of my gift of writing & composing,  I am forced to be organised... Well, sort of ! To this end, I have created an 'action' file which contains my various in-progress writings. Mind you, I have not opened this file in recent times! Yes, this is something I must take action on! You know, unlike us, God is always taking action when we present our prayers to Him. I know we can get discouraged when we do not get instant answers to our prayer requests. But let's get some encouragement from someone in the Bible.   Daniel had a perplexing vision and prayed for understanding what it meant. It would take twenty one days before Daniel received the explanation of the vision. He was told by an angel that the answer h

Of Panic, Prayer, Prophecy, and Promptings

What do you do when you are faced with an unexpected situation? If you are like me you press the panic button! Thankfully, my faith 'kicked' in and I prayed fervently for a miracle. Yes, it would take nothing less than a miracle for this girl waiting at the bus stop with no money to get home! How did that happen? Well, she left home with just bus fare for one trip; confident she had her purse in her bag. But She forgot that it was still in her 'church bag' from the day before. She had forgotten remove it! So there she was - waiting for a miracle and humming "Still I Rise" to counter the panic which would rise now and then. Suddenly, she found herself saying these prophetic words: "Whoever you are, stop and give me a ride home!" Sometime later, the miracle occurred! A minister-friend pulled up at the bus stop and offered her a lift.   Apparently he was on his way home and was debating which road he should take.   He was impressed
