Ascension Day

Posted on May 14, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

  
 40 days had passed since his brutally crushed body was raised from death and He appeared to His followers.  Some thought He was a ghost, others doubted it was Him.  In that short span of time, He proved that He truly had returned to them.  He continued to prepare them for the work they would eventually do by the power of the Holy Spirit.  He gave them the knowledge of how He had fulfilled the ancient prophesies regarding the Messiah.  God’s walk as a man had come to an end.  It was time for Him to return home.

Another of God’s mysteries was coming to pass.  Many would ask – if He was God why did He have to go through all the suffering – why didn’t God simply declare us saved – why did He have to come in physical form – He’s God after all.  None of it makes sense from a logical standpoint, but it was the only way that the curse of sin could be lifted.  The ransom had to be paid by the only One without sin – the unblemished lamb – the sinless Son of God – God Himself.

How wonderful for us to realize that our life doesn’t end when we breathe our last breath.  As a follower of the Son of God and Son of man, we have the assurance that we too will rise into heaven and will experience the perfection He originally planned for us!

LIVE IN ME

Posted on May 12, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

Before each nerve was sewn, or breath of life inspired,

Before each muscle formed, or potter’s clay was fired,

He knew me even then.  His hand was on my heart,

He shaped me with His power.  With Him I’ll never part.
The years have withered me.  My body groans within,

To see how far we’ve fallen and dwell within our sin.

Though we have been forgiven, we falter every day,

Our faith has been diminished by things we do and say.


Still closely He remains.  He promises to stay.

Close by me as I limp through life! Refreshing me each day.

Assure me that your precious blood has paid for every sin,

And lead me to your heavenly gate where new life lies within.

OLD LADY THOUGHTS

Posted on May 12, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

9f793297482637b5a1bb6a1e5c1857e7

Lately I’ve been feeling I should stop blogging – that maybe I’m just preaching to the choir, even though they need preaching to just as much as anyone.  I’ve wondered if ego has sometimes gotten in the way.  Do the words penned each day really help anyone or  are they simply words?  Am I looking for affirmation or am I doing this because I truly want the world to share in the joy of God’s salvation?  The older I get, the more I feel compelled to do this, and yet each day the question remains.

God’s Word has always been the best reference material for life.  You can discover anything you really need to know within it’s covers. It has a lot to say about old age too.  Psalm 71 is referred to as the prayer of an elderly person.  This plea for help from God,  to be with us until our dying day is still relevant.  In these words, we are assured of God’s constant presence in our lives.

Old age doesn’t mean the end of the road for a Christian, but the things we have learned mustn’t stay hidden in our hearts.  God wants us to pass them down from generation to generation.  The more I see of life and the evil that the devil permeates into the minds of people – filling them with thoughts of hate, self-indulgence and violence – the more I see a need for words of comfort to get out there.

In verse 6 of Psalm 71

“Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
    you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.”

I  pray that God can use me in these final years of life.

WHY ARE SO MANY SO ANGRY?

Posted on May 11, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

I went in for my annual physical this morning and while waiting, I heard a woman’s voice screaming at the top of her lungs.  At first it scared me, because I have seen video clips of people freaking out at their medical clinic and how medical workers are at risk of physical harm.

My first inclination was to get out of there, but then I realized the paper gown I was wearing would raise eyebrows.  Instead I remained seated having thoughts of how I would defend myself if the woman decided to come in my room.  I’m an old lady and very physically unfit, so nothing came to mind.  I thought about pushing the table in front of the door, but instead decided to pray.  I prayed for the poor woman who was having the tantrum.  How sad for her to feel so threatened in such a safe place.  I asked that God would bring her peace, because she obviously was in great need of it.  I also thanked him for protecting me and the others in the building, because it may have erupted into something more difficult.

Isn’t it a shame that we have resorted to anger, rage, explosion of tempers and sometimes violence to handle our problems?  Have we forgotten how to problem solve before things escalate out of control?  How do we bring the word respect back into our vocabulary?  Here are a few suggestions:

  • Parents, talk to your kids about working together with family members.
  • Have a project for them to put other’s needs before their own.
  • Have them learn the golden rule.
  • Teach them to pray for others – even their enemies.
  • Prepare them for how to deal with bullies.
  • Teach them to be willing to bend and compromise without caving in to their beliefs.
  • Being involved in sports or any other team activity will help them see the need for cooperation.
  • Give them a solid dependence on God, their Savior, by praying with them and getting them into the Word.
  • Let them know they are important to you and God, but that the world doesn’t revolve around them.
  • Teach them to have a servant’s heart – letting Jesus be their example.

Too many of us have forgotten that it’s our obligation as parents to give our kids the tools they need for life.  It doesn’t take much time to instill these values, but it can make a big difference.

I LOVE YOU, MOM

Posted on May 10, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

  
My mom was my hero.  I gave her a run for her money and probably was the cause of her prematurely greying hair, but that didn’t deter her from taking anything she faced in life.  She didn’t hesitate to color those grey tresses well into her 80s.  Even though her hair turned white as snow, she maintained her beauty, because it ran deeper than any anti-aging cream or wrinkle remover.

She came from a large farm family so she knew something about sacrifice.  She also was one of the most compassionate women I’ve ever known.  She taught me how to encourage, listen, have faith, to never give up and was often my greatest advocate when life threw lemons my way.
She was the mom that believed that I was beautiful.  With her I always felt loved.  She had time for me – loved to hear my stories – cheered me when I was sick.
When she neared her 80th birthday, it was payback time.  She had become dependent on pain medication and could no longer live alone.  I saw her go through withdrawal, rebuilding and renewal.
We had six years to share as I turned into the caregiver and she grew more dependent.  It was as if our roles had reversed.  When the Lord finally called her to heaven, I was convinced that her work was done on this earth.  She was ready and willing to place her life in her Savior’s hands.
A mom is usually the first person to greet us when we enter this world, but her job doesn’t end there.  The years of nurturing, encouraging, making us know we could do anything we put our minds to and a constant and enduring love are the precious gifts they give us..  
I’m confident that God was waiting with open arms, exclaiming “Well done, good and faithful servant,” when she went to meet him.  I will always love you, mom and know we’ll be together again some day.  Until then – Happy Mother’s Day!

AIRPORT TIME

Posted on May 8, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

i had some time on my trip back home to do a little people watching at the airport.  When you think about it, we kind of become captives of the airlines, because we either have to wait forever or we rush to make a connecting flight.  I’m not a seasoned airline passenger. In fact I rarely travel this way.  I rarely travel, but that’s a completely different story.  Here are a few things I noticed as I waited for my time to board:

  • A little tyke of about three, drops his stuffed monkey to the floor in exchange for a shiny penny he spies.  His dad picks up the monkey and they both depart with huge smiles on their faces.  
  • An adorable little girl mounts her daddy’s carry on and they wheel off to their destination.
  • A group of people maybe dreaming of making it big in the country music business, carry guitar cases and look slightly downcast.  I wonder how many dreams to succeed have been dashed.  
  • My seat was near the wing and I was reminded of the Twilight Zone episode in which a mentally disturbed man was convinced of seeing a person on the wing as the plane soared through the clouds. I had a two hour layover so had to find a way to stay awake.  There was plenty of time to people watch.
  • I ate the longest hot dog I’ve ever seen – a true Chicago chili cheese.  I know I’ll regret it.  
    There are so many people going in as many directions.  To most this might be a way of life, bustling through crowded airports.  I sympathize with them.  Haggard faces, tired bodies, rushing to a connecting flight.
  • On board the plane home.  We’re delayed due to weather.  Time to think of all kinds of possibilities.  An elderly gentlemen asks if he can use the rest room and the steward asks for the secret password.  A look of confusion creeps into his face as she opens the door for him.  I sit between a middle aged man who says nothing during the entire trip and a young girl not more than twenty who appears terrified as we finally take off.  Each bump through the clouds sends her on an emotional roller coaster.  We are told there is some weather in Minneapolis and we could be in for a rough ride.  
  • An attractive woman on the other side of the plane softly sings some spiritual song.  Her voice is as pure as an angel’s. 
  • A man opens his Bible and reads, followed by apparent silent prayers.  
  • I open my Bible app and follow suit.  

    We live in a world where it often seems we are miles apart from one another and then you observe things like this where strangers strike up conversations – you can actually see the stress in some of their eyes – you realize that we are all pretty much the same.  Humanity can some days seem cruel and heartless, but some of us share a common bond and then you see we are no different than one another.  As we departed the plane, a hefty older woman began to say, “God bless you!” As silent smiles revealed their appreciation.  Even though we can be made to believe that people don’t pay much attention to each other, we can rest in the fact that God is always with us, giving us His assurance all the way.

PRAY

Posted on May 7, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

  

Do you ever wonder if your prayers are being heard or if they even matter?  When you think about it, there are over seven billion people in the world.  Not all of them pray, but if even half of them did, that’s an enormous amount of voices going up to God.  Why would my puny little words be heard?

My God is all knowing, always available and so powerful that even the smallest prayers are listened to and answered.  Now, more than ever, we need to join our voices as a nation and pray for a renewal of faith – not only in our God, but in each other.  We have drifted from the One who has all the answers and placed our trust in ourselves and things of this world.  

Lord, when you created the world your love was evident.  You continue to love your creation throughout all generations.  Our country is in crisis mode and we need you now more than ever.  You are the only one who can heal it.  As we come to you on this National Day of Prayer, remind us that despite the unrest, confusion and selfishness we often display, You are still in control of our destiny.  Give us the confidence to represent You and to follow the example of Jesus as He daily approached you in prayer.  Amen!

STEEL MAGNOLIAS

Posted on May 5, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

Soon we’ll celebrate Mothers Day and being with my sister for the last couple days has given me evidence of how important my own mom was to us.  I can see her in my sister’s beauty, her strong work ethic, her delightful personality and sense of humor – her emotional support of her family and her steely determination in all she does.  She has passed those things down to her daughter’s as I believe I have done with mine.  Those attributes come from a long line of steel magnolias on our family tree.
At the root of that tree, we have also been nourished with the living water of God.  He was there at our baptism as He filled us with the breath of His Holy Spirit.  He continued to prune away the dead branches which caused us to lose hope at times – to lack confidence – to wither and succumb to age and every day living.  He renewed us through the gift of His Son and continues to be at the helm when things get tough.
There will always be things to test us in this life, but when we allow God to work His plan, we can be assured of passing those tests. They are designed to make us stronger.
Thanks, mom, for the blessed gift of my sister.  Together we have inherited the best of both you and dad.  Thanks too for bringing us to faith so many years ago?

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT PARENTING

Posted on May 2, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

capture12

Proverbs 29:15 – The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.

Today is Dr. Benjamin Spock’s birthday. This popular author of the 1960s became famous with his best selling book on childrearing.  His ideas were mind blowing to most older parents.  He suggested letting a child cry it out before picking them up and holding them.  He advocated more permissiveness  and not hard discipline such as spankings and scolding.  Up until that time, a spanking was not considered child abuse.

The 1960s were a time of permissiveness in many ways – with the acceptance of bad behavior as the norm.  There were protests every week over race, wars, feminism, sex and other issues.  That was 55 years ago and it seems times haven’t really changed much.

We still have racial issues.  Women have come a long way in the world of business, but are they satisfied?  Families have grown further apart.  Divorce has become normal.  The family unit has grown into blended or single parent families with dads that come and go like thieves in the night.  Wars continue, but they seem to be for different reasons.  We try to make friends of the world, but have forgotten our families in our efforts to satisfy ourselves or make ourselves look good to others.

My father had a tongue that cut deeper than any razor strop and endured many spankings growing up.  I didn’t need psycho analyzing for it.  My parents had problems with their marriage, but they stuck it out – they didn’t quit.

When a mother tries to defend her child or get him away from an unsafe situation and out of the clutches of a group of thugs, she will be accused of abusing her child.  I say she’s doing her job as a parent.

Happy birthday, Dr. Spock.  Your words changed the way people parent, but was it for the better?

SECRET HIDING PLACE

Posted on May 1, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

th

Do you still have a secret hiding place – a special place known only to you where you can find complete aloneness?  When we’re children we may find a place that’s just perfect.  It’s your special place, reserved for that game when everyone is searching you out, but they’ll never in a million years be able to find you – until they eventually do and then the process of finding a new spot is necessary.

As we grow older, we realize we have run out of hiding places – especially when it comes with our relationship with God.  We may think we’re hidden, but He knows exactly where we are at every moment – in our temptation, our fears, our sadness and loss, our desperation, and the times we feel alone.  We may be able to escape the world for a time, but God will always find us.

When I was a child, the thought of someone watching my every move and knowing my every thought was daunting, but as I’ve grown old, it’s a comfort to know that He’s available at any moment.  He’s within my breathing, He operates the beating of my heart, He controls the workings of my brain.  What an awesome thought to know that the Creator of all things is watching over me.

Dear Father, God, from the moment of my conception and even before, you knew me.  You placed your spirit in me when I was baptized and the compassion you show through your own flesh and blood insures me that I have found my true hiding place in you.  Thanks and praise for your unending protection.  Amen!

WHERE CAN I GO?

Posted on April 30, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

21dea2142c907a78d6407c6a242b9c2c

We all have special places of refuge – a quiet sanctuary, a peaceful meadow, a glorious forest, the mountains.  It’s a place we go when the world is just too much to bear – where we can hide for a while from the pressures of living – where we know we will find solace, comfort and encouragement.

When I need a moment to think or a time to plan or a place where I feel totally free from the cares of life, I like to get down and dirty.  My place of refuge is my garden.  Pulling out the weeds and the long tendrils which suffocate the good plants, helps me eliminate some of the negative thoughts I have about what’s going on in the world.  When I feel the soft earth in my hands. it gives me a sense of God’s eternal presence.

I know He’s everywhere, but for the moment, He’s in the earth and we are becoming closer as I push away the ugliness that has been left by rotting leaves and fallen branches – revealing precious new life.  It’s as if He’s right there with His promise of redemption.

We all have a direct connection to our most powerful, life giving God.  Even though we stand in awe of Him and deserve to be judged severely for our sins, He still remains our friend, our confidante, our protector, our Savior, our vine.  When we become grafted into Him, we are assured eternal life.  He puts so much value on the plants of the earth and the birds of the air, think of how much more He cares for us.

Where ever it is that you find peace, comfort and renewal, remember that God is there in the midst of it.  A mighty fortress is our God!

SPIRIT

Posted on April 29, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

You were there when the mountains were carved, when life exploded,

When rivers were formed and when man was created from the dust.

You fill men with courage, honor, conscience, love, peace, endurance, faith,

You danced upon the heads of the apostles as they became filled with you.

You hold the hearts of those who die defending your name,

You lift us when we feel defeated.  You energize us when we grow weary.

You inspire us, enlighten, fill us with hope through all trials,

When we wonder where God has gone – when we lose confidence in humanity –

When we  have no where else to turn – You are there.

You’re unseen, but we know you are in our midst.

Your voice comes in the stirring of the wind,

Your touch can be felt when that same wind embraces us.

Your breath inspired men of God to write down your plan for our lives.

Each word penned points to our redemption, salvation and forgiveness.

You hear our prayers.  When we open our hearts and minds to speak to you, you listen.

God of heaven, three in One – Father, Spirit and the Son,

Live within us every day – give us courage as we pray,

Though our minds don’t comprehend, still you help us understand,

The mystery of your trinity, in faith we learn to trust in thee.

LIFE

Posted on April 28, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

Has life become just another commodity with little value?

Has humanity so quickly forgotten the price that was paid for it?

Have we come full circle in our quest for peace?  History repeating itself?

Each day on this planet is as a thousand years to the One who made it.

He alone has the answers to the human condition and how to heal it.

Still we try to figure things out for ourselves.  We try, but fail.

We make the same mistakes over and over and it almost seems our lives are futile.

Instead why not turn to Him in the first place?

But we think we know better.  We abort babies, we use fists to solve problems, we pull the plug on life.

We are all guilty if we stand by and allow this to continue.

We are as one pulling the trigger and taking a life if we say nothing.

We must stop the madness that will eventually consume this great country of ours.

We could easily self-implode and our enemies are aware of that.

May God be with America in this time of our great distress and show mercy on us.

A NEW DAY

Posted on April 27, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

A new day – the start of a new week – the perfect time to start over.

Shake off the remnants of the past. Look ahead and not back.

Refresh yourself in the quiet waters of the Lord.

Join your hand in His.

Walk confidentially, always trusting in His path for your life.

He has carved out a road that leads to the perfect destination.

There will be bumps along the way, but He will always be there,

To lift you up, to hold you tight, to encourage and carry you.

Don’t give up when difficulties come your way.

Don’t despair in the negative pull of those around you.

Don’t succumb to the falsehood of the deceiver.  He will only pull you deeper down.

Look up.  Raise your voice in supplication and thanksgiving.

Delight in the gifts the Lord has prepared for you.

Live this day for Him.  With Him, all things are brand new.

A DOG’S LIFE

Posted on April 25, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

11174884_10200284101182236_6422352727753018999_n

I really do like our dog, Gage, but lately he’s been a real pain in the neck. In fact you could say he’s walking a very thin line.  He’s almost six years old and it’s taken him all this time to finally like us.  He has always been rather aloof – must be his English heritage or else he’s part cat.

He’s a Llewellyn Setter and we got him within days of losing our Golden Retriever.  He may have sensed our loss.  He also went through a time of difficulties with us as my husband endured shoulder surgery and cancer treatment.  I think he has a sixth sense about how we’re doing physically and emotionally.

Since he’s finally warmed up to us, he’s become extremely rebellious when we leave the house.  To put it mildly, we no longer need a shredder in our house.  Gage has taken care of any paper that’s been left out. He’s eaten a complete loaf of bread including the wrapper, the contents of our bag of papers needing to be shredded, a list of my cast of characters’ measurements for our upcoming production, handkerchiefs and many other assorted items.  I’m beginning to believe that comment that children always use to defend not getting their homework in on time because their dog ate it.

I believe he has an iron clad constitution with all the things he’s consumed.  It’s really a wonder he isn’t sicker than a dog!

When my children grew up and left the nest, I thought my days of disciplining, correcting, guiding and patience were coming to an end.  When you have a dog like Gage, those days just go on, but I wouldn’t trade him for anything.

ETERNITY

Posted on April 23, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

Life is but a span of years – some die young, others live to a hundred.
Even a century is nothing in the eyes of God.
His timeline is eternal.  There is no end with Him.
He is the beginning and the ending of all things,
The Alpha and Omega,
When we die, our bodies return to the dust from which it came,
But we live again if we believe in Christ’s sacrifice for us.
Everything He did, through His life, death and resurrection,
Are examples and reminders of how we should live,
How we should die and live again eternally with new bodies,
Free from sin, sickness, tears and the grip of the evil one.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
How will you spend it?

TIME OUT

Posted on April 23, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

th07MQ87NI

A time out is one way for kids to think about their behavior and how to change it.  We used to call it standing in the corner.  It would be great if adults could have time outs too – a little time to bathe in the calmness of Jesus’ presence – to get closer to Him and further away from the stresses of everyday living.

We often find it hard to pull ourselves from the busyness of life.  We lose track of what’s really important. But it’s necessary for our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well being.  Having quiet moments with our Savior will give you a calmness, a release from the pressure of every day living and a host of other benefits.

God loves hearing from us, even if it’s a short conversation.  Find that special time to spend with Him.  Maybe you could take a “time out” when your child is having one.  Better yet, have one together.  You’ll both have an opportunity to cool off and think about what just happened and it will bring you together.  Love needs closeness, touch and tenderness to flourish.

With both of you in a time out, you’re showing that you love your child, in spite of their behavior and you’re sharing your love of God too.  Where two or more are gathered together, He will always be there.  Using that time as an opportunity to teach is so much better than using it as an escape from their annoying behavior.

The years we have with our little ones is really quite short.  We need to use every minute to expose them to the love of God, prayer and their relationship with the Creator of all things.

Maybe its time for a time out!

MY LORD, MY GUIDE

Posted on April 20, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

The road our Savior walked in life was simply pure perfection,

And when He died upon the cross He returned through resurrection,

His home is now at God’s right hand, together they are one,

His Holy Spirit joins with them.  The victory they have won,

Because of His great love for us, our path should liken His.

He is the prime example of just what perfection is,

We try to lead that perfect life, but stumble and we fall,

We need Him near to lift us up and answer His sweet call.

We lift our voice to Jesus.  There is no other way.

He lives in us, abides with us and in our hearts He’ll stay.

SING YOUR PRAISE TO THE LORD!

Posted on April 19, 2015 by atimetoshare.me

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I can never tell you
Just how much good that it’s
Gonna do you just to

Sing anew
The song your heart learned to sing
When He first gave His life to you
The life goes on and so must the song
You gotta sing again
The song born in your soul
When you first gave your heart to Him
Sing His praises once more

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I can never tell you
Just how much good that it’s
Gonna do you just to

Sing aloud
The song that someone is dying to hear
Down in the maddening crowd
As you once were before you heard the song
You gotta let them know
Then truth is alive to shine upon the way
So maybe they can go
Sing your praises once more

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I can never tell you
Just how much good that it’s
Gonna do you just to

Let the name of the Lord be praised
Both for now and evermore
Praise him, oh, you servants
Give your

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I can never tell you
Just how much good that it’s
Gonna do you just to

Sing, sing, sing
Come on
Sing, sing, sing
I can hear you now
Sing, sing, sing
