A Sunday Nugget - Mercy

I am so thankful for God's Mercy!!!  I can never, ever, be good enough, but with His Mercy, I am made whole.

Matthew 5:7 - "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." 

This week, may you wrap yourself in His Mercy, like a quilt, lovingly hand stitched..

A Sunday Nugget - Amen

I babysat one of my grandsons Friday night and he gave me quite a few chuckles!  Kids can say some funny things and of course we grandparents think everything they say and do is the best ever.

I was reading a book to this one who is only 8 days shy of his third birthday at bedtime.  The book is called "Night Night Little Pookie" by Sandra Boynton and it is one of his favorites.  He especially loves that I read it just like the book sounds to me with lots of excitement and sound effects:  "OH POOOOOKIE!  ITS TIME FOR BED NOW!!  When I got to the end, he jumped right in and hollered, "AMEN!".  It was so funny that instead of saying "THE END!", he said "AMEN!".

I say Amen at the end of prayers, or when I agree with something, without really thinking about it.  So a quick search revealed that the real meaning of "Amen" is "So Be It" and signifies strong agreement. 

May your Sunday and the upcoming week be filled with many blessings and AMENS!

I took this picture while on a trip to the mountains and added the Bible verse to it. Its one of my favorites.

A Sunday Nugget - Trust

Good Morning!


What is a Sunday Nugget?

A scripture verse, quote or thought that sticks with me from that week's Bible or other Christian literature reading, or from some other aspect of my Christian walk.

This week this Scripture touched my heart:

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Psalm 143:8

I don't know about you, but I struggle with trusting God with my day to day life. This scripture is a good one to remember each morning before I start my day and as I go throughout my day. I also love mornings, and what better way to start the day than experiencing God's unfailing love?

My hope would be that when I turn EVERYTHING over to God daily..... or many times a day, that I will eventually reach that point of total trust. Imagine! No worry or anxiety. Now that would be a great example of a woman of Grace.

Yes, I want that!

The following quote comes from the book I am reading called "Work in Progress, An Unfinished Woman's Guide to Grace" by Kristin Armstrong.

"Time spent getting to know God means walking along with Him; asking Him to illuminate the route and not racing ahead of what's been lit. It means spending time in His Word, getting to know His spotless character and the countless examples of His unfailing love illustrated in His ironclad promises."

Yes Lord! Show me the way!



Today is Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week, and a very busy time for everyone. I pray that you will have a good week and a closer walk with God.

Today our family will celebrate our mother's 84th birthday! Its been a hard year since her stroke, but filled with many blessings.

This is a picture of Mama's hands and her "birthday cake and candle" from a smaller celebration last weekend.



The following is written in the margin of one of my Women's Devotional Bibles. I read this one morning this week and it has stuck with me and has special meaning to me. I bet you can apply it to your life also.

"Hope uncovers new possibilities and shows us what can be done. It wrestles with angels, looks impossibilities in the eye and winks. Hope springs eternal. Hope supersedes all good intentions.

Positive thinking, on the other hand, can get you only so far. When that train of thought won't get you further, jump track and keep going by the power of God's grace. After all, you know Immanuel, God who is with us.

Dare to believe that he has planned greater things right around the corner for the ones you love. Hold your loved ones before the throne and count on God's answer in their lives. Don't let your ability or inability to think your way around circumstances hold you back. Pray and rest. Then pray some more.

Have a great Sunday!
