Today has been a celebration of all that the Lord Jesus, Our Sacrificial Lamb, accomplished on our behalf! It was also a celebration for me “Ending my 47 days of ‘no dairy, no sugar’ Fast.” This day of celebration began with scrambled eggs, a cinnamon chip scone and coffee! A special treat: The hubby and … Continue reading This Day of Celebration!
No Dairy, No Sugar Fast
Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
This is supposed to be my last day of “no dairy, no sugar” fast for the month of March which I extended until Easter: Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2022. I am a bit disappointed for it to come to an end because I do not want to fall back into old habits in thinking or … Continue reading Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
Good Friday (Day 46)
I asked Siri to explain what Good Friday means – the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. And as it has been asked before what good is there in a day of crucifixion? This horrific day, which was like no other day that has … Continue reading Good Friday (Day 46)
A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Beautiful gardens have always captured my attention. There is something peaceful in shaded gardens of trees and flower lined paths where a person can find renewal from the hustle and bustle of the world. Jesus and his followers regularly got away to the Mount of Olives. It is there we enter the Garden of Gethsemane. … Continue reading A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I love to be outside when the temperature is agreeable. Today, I spent most of the morning working in flower beds and cleaning pollen from my front porch. A nice breeze blew gently, and it felt pleasant … until noon. But while outside, I began thinking of Jesus and His disciples in the Garden late … Continue reading Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I AM HE! (Day 43)
God is for us! Scripture repeatedly affirms, God is for us. He desires that no one should parish but all to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, His Son (2 Peter 3:9). As a result, Jesus’ earthly ministry fulfills the Father’s will not wasting one moment on the unessential. Jesus stayed in tune … Continue reading I AM HE! (Day 43)
Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)
As I stretch to make it through this last week of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast, I remembered a book written by my pastor. Pulling it from the shelves, I eagerly began digesting the scenes described in detail of my Savior’s Last Week. Join me each day recalling what He experienced. Travel back … Continue reading Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)
“Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it? But just as soon as my thoughts started to go down the wrong road of “what if’s,” I immediately turned to the Lord asking for spiritual wisdom, and to give me eyes to see just as Elisha prayed for … Continue reading “Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
A Sweet Finale (Day 31)
This month of “no dairy, no sugar” has been super! and I would say, my best “fast” yet! While my writing daily is completed, my restrictions for my fast will continue until Easter, April 17. That Sunday will be a huge celebration of worshipping our resurrected Lord and breaking my fast with cheesecake (requested by … Continue reading A Sweet Finale (Day 31)
Sheer Delight (Day 30)
The desire is so strong! “Father, what can I put into my mouth to bring me joy?” Reading the Scriptures and picturing sitting at His feet, my first inclination is instant gratification for the craving of my taste buds: a creamy latte, a yummy scone, a hot cinnamon roll right out of the oven; on … Continue reading Sheer Delight (Day 30)
