Wrapped in Prayer

One morning as I was walking and praying for a friend in need, God brought
the scripture Mark 2 to my mind. It reads from the Message bible in this
manner:

“After a few days, Jesus returned to Capernaum, and word got around that he
was back home. A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get
in or out. He was teaching the Word. They brought a paraplegic to him,
carried by four men. When they weren’t able to get in because of the crowd,
they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher.
Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, “Son, I
forgive your sins.”…”Get up. Pick up your stretcher and go home.” And the
man did it – got up, grabbed his stretcher, and walked out, with everyone
there watching him. They rubbed their eyes, incredulous – and then praised
God saying, Continue reading “Wrapped in Prayer”

Placed in His Hands

Placed in His Hands…

John 10: 27 – 30 is a great comfort to me. To summarize this beautiful scripture–We are His sheep, we hear His voice, He knows us, and we follow Him. Just as lost sheep in need of a shepherd so are we to our Father in heaven, but even greater still He will not leave nor forsake us. Also taught in these scriptures–Jesus gives us eternal life, we shall never perish, no one can snatch us out of His hand. Wow!! What a promise! These few scriputres hold so much meaning and truth. We sometimes forget the “little” scriputures, don’t we? Let’s not miss what God is trying to help us understand (another reference would be over in HEB 13:5–look up these scriptures and allow God to speak to your heart). To HIM be the glory for being so great. When we are truly following Christ, and know we are His sheep, we have no fear. Christ has placed us in His caring handsContinue reading “Placed in His Hands”

My Mom, aka Sister Grandma

Today would have been Sister Grandma’s 100th birthday. I often thank God for a godly mother who took us to church, taught us many good things and “grew us kids up” to the best of her ability. She saw many changes in her long lifetime and as the times changed she adapted to them (mostly) and after being in a denominational church from her birth, she caught the true meaning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and received Him into her life as her Lord and Savior. Then she prayed for me until I came into the full knowledge of the Salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sara pondered about Sister Grandma’s birthday….”I wonder what her cake is like in Heaven, today, and who is attending her birthday party?” That set me to thinking that Sis G., as we called her, must be dancing and singing at the greatest RE-Birthday Party of her eternal life. All the saints in HContinue reading “My Mom, aka Sister Grandma”

Measure of a Man/Woman

You will find this same article under the title of “Measure of a Lie measures a man or woman!” right here on “The Daily Lily.” I posted this some months ago but it came clearly to me this morning that I should encourage us to read and study this article to help with some of the areas in our lives that we are dealing with at this time.

If you are like me, many times I open the page and look for something new and find out that something that was posted months ago may be just what I need to remind myself to get back on track, correct and encourage me. I would suggest that when we can we take time to reread our articles and let each of them minister to us.

I am so encouraged by all our articles and comments. Thank you for encouraging me and others.

How does one measure a Lie?
God Hates Lies! Proverbs 6:16 records this fact for us.
The Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos reveaContinue reading “Measure of a Man/Woman”

Touched my heart

Recently my heart was touched by a lady named Kathy Silverton. Read her story on this link.
http://www.stitchesfromtheheart.org/

When Kathy’s heart was touched by another she founded Stitches From the Heart, a nonprofit organization devoted to creating and sending handmade clothes for premature babies and babies from impoverished families. Every item is created with tender loving care and volunteers sometimes attach their names to the items. We at “The Daily Lily” would like to add our names to worthy cause.

Kathy and her volunteers happily teach people how to knit little clothes for “preemies”. The head of a full-term baby is approximately the size of a grapefruit. But a premature baby’s head is smaller – the size of an orange, or even a lemon. Stitches volunteers knit these tiny hats and also tiny booties, sweaters and blankets.

I have starContinue reading “Touched my heart”

My Testimony

Biography:
God has allowed me to grow up in a missionary family in the country of Brazil. From one year of age until I was thirteen I lived in Brazil, and I helped my parents do missionary work in Brazil. As I grew up in Brazil I played with alot of street rascals in the streets of Brazil. I made close friends with a lot of street rascals. You could say that I was a street rascal my self, or at least that is what my Mom says. Many of times my friends would leave or dissappear. I thought that they had relocated to another part of the city or to another state. I didnВґt know but that was far from the truth.
At the age of thirteen God sent my parents and I back to the States for who knows how long. I graduated from high school, and God opened the doors for me to attend and graduate from Pensacola Christian College (PCC) with a Bible degree and Biblical Phsyc. minor. During my time at PCContinue reading “My Testimony”

Mums the Word for Fall

It’s time to decorate your fall garden, patio, porch or favorite pot (s) with hardy fall mums (chrysthanemum). You will see lots of bright colored ones available in garden centers right now. Here’s a few tips on how to keep them growing beautifully.

If you are planning to put them in your flower bed choose a sunny, well-drained spot. Dig a hole a little wider than the pot and just as deep as the soil ball. If your soil is not good, add 1/3 composted or organic material such as humus in with the existing soil to fill back in around the root ball. Put some time-release fertilizer in the planting hole according to label directions and water in thoroughly. Keep your mum well-watered if it doesn’t rain even when the weather turns chilly. Your mum still needs a drink. Remove/pinch off spent blooms and your mum should provide color for weeks. If youContinue reading “Mums the Word for Fall”

ice cream

In class the other day we were studying the three states of matter. I hope
this will be an exciting experience for the young at heart and those who are
about the age of my students (11 years old). First pour 1/2 cup of whole
milk into a quart sized baggy. Place 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2
tablespoons of sugar in the milk and seal the bag. Place the quart sized
baggy in a gallon sized ziploc baggy. Cover the quart sized baggy with as
much ice as you can. Cover the ice with 1/4 cup salt. Seal the large bag
tightly. Shake and toss it until the ice cream is semi solid. Some of the
students on our hallway added chocolate to their milk. For all you young
scientist, remember that the salt lowers the freezing point of the water
which causes your mixture to become solid. This is a tasty treat that you
get a lot of exercise when doing. Hope you young people out theirContinue reading “ice cream”

Don’t Break Ranks

I heard a sermon that made be understand one tactic of the enemy. The
pastor said the reason the Roman army was strong is that they stood shoulder
to shoulder. If you wanted to weaken the defenses all you had to do was to
break up the stance of the soldiers. The enemy does this all the time. He
tries to tell you lies about your brothers and sisters in Christ. He tries
to break your rank. We wants you to throw in the towel. He wants you to
forget about where you are seated. If you believe in Jesus you are seated
with Him. He is in eternity and you are seated in eternity as well. Don’t
forget where you are seated. Don’t give up hope! Stand shoulder to
shoulder and withstand.
