I discovered that the Message Bible states in Matthew 12:34, that Jesus says, “It’s your heart and not the dictionary that gives meaning to your words.”

This makes a VERY enlightening point that sheds new perspective on our discussions of “heart and mouth” on thedailylily. I am thinking that from this Scripture….that whatever you MAY THINK that you are thinking in your MIND and trying to say or (THINK that you are saying)..actually..what REALLY ,TRULY is coming out of your mouth is what your HEART, REALLY, TRULY thinks.

So when we examine the fruit of our lips….what we’re saying that is exaggeration, or flattery, or put downs or mockings or bragging or complaining or deception or self- deceiving …and we see the bitter fruit it produces..we must quickly turn to look at our own hearts to find the root of what is causing this rotten harvest and “lay the axe to it.”Continue reading “Heart and Mouth”

Is this ‘Mash’, ‘General Hospital’ or World War II? Her Mother and I found this in some very very old pictues. Has anyone ever seen anyone wear a uniform with a hat that looks like this? Maybe it’s as ‘The World Turns’? Was it a century ago? A millennium?

I know with all the research Lilies we have we will identify and write a story of the year of?????

Okay here are the answers by the “experts”. Some of you (Jersey) not to mention any names consulted an expert but did not post HIS answers. Some of your answers were better than the experts. i.e “I don’t put giraffes and elephants in the refrigerator.” And for #3 “the one he just ate.” And “I’ll click the heels of my red shoes and fly across.” And something about lions and lionesses not talking after dinner. Oh ‘Chickenfarmer’ you should keep the boys out of the refrigerator. They could spill the milk and make a mess.

Retreat July ’06 “The Dance of Healing, the ultra healing spirit comes from within”, by Sara was a great spiritual experience. One of the teachings Sara instructed us through in the Dance of Healing workbook to do was to вЂ?come wondering and questioning’ God especially in areas that we do not see growth. Tops on my list was my struggle with effective communication with others and especially my family. I learned at the retreat the importance of words…how they either poison or give life.

As a horticulture teacher and consultant I seem to be able to convey this sort of information effectively but when it comes to interpersonal communication I see myself as a failure no matter how hard I try.

In my frustration I cried out to God for hope that failure could turn to victory. I believe in answer to my prayer that Continue reading “The Rock”
