Good morning friends,
Last night I created a totally new hot-dish with the help of Clare my dear friend Lolly's daughter.
It Was amazing. We were so excited. it was like white Mexican chili.
Anyway I saw it as a triumph and those I will take, every one.
And once again my friends have encouraged and held me up and loved me.
They tell me the truth, whether I want to hear it or not. Not sugar coated, Not watered down.
Honesty that hurts, but truth that brings healing. The hard truth and that is hard to do.
But having people who speak life into you no matter how hard is so important.
And I am working so hard at learning meekness, learning not to have resentment when someone tells you those hard things. And not to be offended, knowing they love you and only want you to be healthy and whole.
So many people get offended WAY to easy. And God worked on me a long time ago about this and it is amazing how it made my life so much easier and so much less hurt.
Offence is one thing to learn but now it is time for the next step.
To learn meekness to go along with it.
And to give all the offences and worries and Joys and triumphs to God because He is the sustainer of life and deserves our praise in all we do good or bad.
Matthew 5:10-12
The Message (MSG)
10 “You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.
11-12 “Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, Ido! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.

Today I am standing on this verse. Loving God and being the best mom I can be to my kids.
The best wife I can be. And the joy I feel will wipe out the pain. And life will go on.
So stand on promises and believe that what you do for God, HE will call you blessed.
Be blessed today and remember to bless someone else.
Always
