We Love Our Mothers!

My mother's name was Laura, she passed away in 1978 at the young age of 58. I loved my mother. My most precious memory of her is that she loved me! Always sacrificing, always patient, and always supporting whatever I wanted to do. Mother, was my great defender. When I wanted to learn to drive our car (a 1947 Chevy) at the young age of 12, my dad said NO!, but mother said, "Oh Bill, he's just curious, take him out to the car and show him how to shift the gears and where the pedals are." Dad did! I started driving alone at the age of 14! Mother would also insist dad take me to work with him on Saturdays. He was a mechanical draftsman. He taught me to draw when I was only seven there at his office each Saturday. Dad and I spent important time together; father and son, because mother encouraged us! 

I remember when I first discovered little girls, and later, as a young teenage boy started to date, she would tell me before I left the house, "Melton, you be careful, those little girls can get you in trouble." I found out later in life how right she was! She did try to warn me. (LOL).

I'll bet you have some wonderful memories of your mother too. Today, whether they are living or they are deceased, we remember all our dear mothers. This is their day! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! God, bless all you wonderful women. YOU are so very special, enjoy your day!

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time !  “Get...
