This REALLY tickled me…I may be royalty because I am a child of God…but I don’t think this would go over well with hubby!

Frank A. Clark (1911-1991) is best known for his one panel, one liner sermon, newspaper cartoons entitled “The Country Parson”.  He evangelized thousands of loyal readers with his faith based humor. He once said…

“I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it.”

Oh yes…if I had my way….

It’s said that cupcakes are “God’s apology for muffins”.

Unfortunately, medically, my cupcake days are over…that is unless someone has a really good recipe for gluten free, grain free, sugar free, dairy free cupcakes! (goodbye desserts, pastas, cheeses, homemade breads, grits, gravies, Captain Crunch, and pizza, etc…sigh, sigh, sigh and a tear or two) It’s said when life hands you a lemon, make lemonade…and I agree with Mr. Clark.  Why not find a bit of humor in the tough stuff? I still love cupcakes..a lot…but now I really love baking them for others.  And the wackier and more colorful the better. Cupcakes really DO make people smile…and that is so much sweeter than any double chocolate, swirled icing, marshmallow creme filled cupcake.

“So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold new things have come.” 2 Cor 5:17

You will land with the stars!

Direct all in your life toward the light….Strive to be a reflection of the SON…be that fixed point of light that directs others home.

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” 1 Peter 2:9

Cast into the Deep…

The deeper we worship…the deeper we live our lives.

And…

The deeper we live our lives the deeper we worship.

Why? The two are one and the same.

Our lives, one with God, are worship.

 Our lives  lived in Him are His praise and Glory.

And our worship of Him is our lives.

Is your life restless?

Look at your worship.

Is your worship dry and distracted?

Look at your life.

When we pray for a greater desire to more deeply worship, we too are asking for the grace to more deeply live in His Life, in His Love.

Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

Let us all cast our nets into deep waters…

and Live His praise and Glory.

“so that we might exist for the praise of His glory, we who first hoped in Christ.” Eph 1: 12

“And this is the promise he made us:  eternal life.” 1 John 26

endless…interminable…unceasing…unending…lasting…permament…perpetual…deathless…immortal…undying…everlasting…timeless…infinite…without-end…forever…enduring through all time…ceaseless…always…

LIFE.

When you make a promise you give your word…

God gave us a promise…

God gave us his word…His Word made flesh…

 His Word made flesh was the promise of eternal life He gave us.

In the New Year…in this time of resolutions and promises…

 Shouldn’t our most important promises be given to God?

Promises that bring us closer to His promise?

What steps can we take this day to bring us nearer to living the life that promises us “always” life?

What promises given to God, to ourselves, to others?

“Heavenly Father, You gave Your promise. You gave Your Word…and the Word became Flesh and dwelt among us so that  Your promise to us of eternal life might be fulfilled.  May we be given the grace to be fully human, beginning eternal life today and drawing others into this forever love.”

Here is a long, but absolutely awesome worship song. Jason Upton’s “One Step Away” will lead you into a taste of that timelessness we all long for. Close your eyes and enjoy this time with God.
