God looks at me and all He sees Is Jesus, His dear Son, He paid the price, He rescued me, The victory He has won.
The ugliness of all my sin, Was bathed in His pure grace. He died for me and rose again. He did this in my place.
The soft pastel painting carries a lovely glow, which reminds us that even though the day of Christ’s resurrection has been achieved, the benefits linger on. We have a new life insurance policy, written by God Himself. His Son paid the premiums. The payout comes when we depart from this world into a new life filled with renewed vitality. Thank you, Jesus, for another day. Keep me focused on that promise and help me to live the rest of my days serving you in gratitude.
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
Amen. Kathy, I appreciate the witness shared through your poetry and reflections. Paul’s painting offers a serene place to experience the never-ending Light. Your title offers a welcome perspective.
Mama K, there’s not a day I don’t pray for you or think of you. In the twists and turns of health, my parents’ health, finding new passive income to help me on this cancer journey….in it ALL…I praise God for the sacrifice of His Son–the premium has been paid!
As always, Paul’s paintings and your beautiful words are divine. I’m so happy to be “here” today and be blessed by you. I love you and send prayers and blessings, sweet Mama K.
Thanks Karla. Your words mean the world to me. Even though we’re yeas apart I feel a very strong connection to you and your family. You’re all in my prayers. I still believe in miracles even in this world of craziness. My daughter just finished her radiation treatments and will soon begin chemo. So far she’s doing well. Pray that the side effects remain minor as she enters this next step. Her two sons (one lives with me) are going to spend some time with her in the early part of May. Thanks for taking time to reach out to me. I love you.❤️
I love you, too. I’m so happy to know your daughter is doing well too. My mom and I were JUST talking about the two of you the other day. We are praying.
I’m so happy to know you’re doing your best and that her sons will spend time with her. It’s SO hard having my sons live so far away, Mama K.
Due to progression in my bones and lymph nodes I began my new injections. Now, back to my original radiation. I’ll begin on Thursday, April 23rd (I.V. radiation). They wanted to do 5 external ones on the tumors (new ones) on my neck–9 in the skull? more in ribs, spine, both hips…ugh. You know how it is! But I don’t want to triple up my treatments again like I did when I was first diagnosed. It hurt my bone marrow and platelets so I’m LISTENENING and making the decisions that will knock out the cancer but hopefully keep me better “boosted”? We will see.
I’m going to visit my old little house near Branson next weekend and a former pastor and school secretary (his health isn’t good). Then I’ll have my treatment and look forward to a trip in May to get away for a bit. But my heart is never away from yours.
I love you and hope you feel my prayers too. Please give your daughter my love and prayers, too! ❣️❣️❣️

Love this Kathy. Do you mind if I share it?
