"BE A GIFT"

By: Donna Selma Lind

Hello! I'm back. I missed you!

It seems like forever since we had the chance to visit. In fact I am a year older since we've been together! Today is my Birthday! Woo-Hoo! I am 55 years young!

                                                That's right, I am the legal speed limit!

It has been a great year and I am looking forward to what God has planned for me in my

55th year.

People have asked what are you doing for your birthday or what gift would you like?

I thought about it and I decided I am so blessed with a wonderful husband a beautiful home, farm and animals. We have our family, friends our church and our health.

Most importantly we have Jesus! He is the everlasting indescribable gift!  

So what does a girl who has everything she needs- want for her birthday?

I want to be a gift to someone today!

Yes, I pray that God will use me as a gift. I am a gift to be opened and poured out overflowing with love for his people.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, "HERE AM I. SEND ME."

Isaiah 6:8

 We can have the gift of eternal life if we choose to open the gift of Jesus.

 Each of us have been given talents and gifts from God.

"What we do with our talents is our gift back to God. "

Today I ask that you read:

 Matthew 25:14-30

The parable of the talents.

Then ask yourself: What am I doing with the gifts and talents God has given me?

Am I a responsible steward with the gifts he has entrusted me with?

Have I increased the value of the gifts in me by growing and overflowing in others?

We are blessed to be a Blessing!

Share your Blessings.

BE A GIFT TO SOMEONE TODAY!

"CONSIDER THE LILIES"

By: Donna Selma Lind  

Working in my Gardens this week I can't help but sense the "Master Gardener" along side of me. The one who created each and every bud, blossom, leaf , petal and flower.

The Creator who hung the moon and dotted the stars in the sky. I stand in awe as I inspect the exquisiteness and unparalleled beauty of each plant and flower He has so lovingly created! 

"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Matthew 6:29

"Even the Bees can't resist their beauty!"



Take time to smell the roses and explore God's beauty today!

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever."
Isaiah 40:8

HALLELUJAH!

PRAISE THE LORD AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!

"THE HEART OF THE FATHER"

By: Donna Selma Lind

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God." 1John 3:1

Do you know how much your Heavenly Father loves you?

He made you special!

" Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."

Jeremiah 1:5

Our image of our Heavenly Father is one of the most important things about us.                

Why?  Because it determines our relationship with God and others .

If we have been wounded by our earthly Father , we need healing and help to understand the perfect love of our Abba Father.

"Abba" in Hebrew means Papa it's a term of tender endearment by a beloved child .        "Abba" expresses our relationship with our Heavenly Father .

"You're just like your Dad!"

As we grow closer in our relationship with our Heavenly Father we begin to develop more of his nature and character traits.

As children of God we have our Heavenly Fathers DNA. (Divine Nature of Abba!)

What is in the DNA ?

The Divine Nature of Abba is the Heart of the Father. A heart filled with life, abundance, healing, wholeness, freedom, provision, restoration and Love.

Yes Love , because God is Love!

Along with Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness and Self Control.      

Galatians 5:22

   We cannot imagine how much our Abba Father loves us!                                                     

 You are so special to him! He even knows the numbers of hairs on your head.  

 He has saved all your tears in a bottle. He knows everything you have  ever been through and everything you are going through right now. He will never leave you.

He is always on the side lines cheering you on.

He loves you! He loves you! He loves you!

"And may you have the power to understand, as all Gods people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is for you."

Ephesians 3:18

"You have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, Abba Father."

Romans 8:15

HALLELUJAH!

PRAISE THE LORD AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!
