Earth Gospel

This (see writing below, Hamilton) brings to bear; thoughts of our prayers when others, or ourselves, are aged, sick, dying. When Nations are at war. When a little child has cancer or other illness. When so many unknowns lurk around us each day, how does one pray, think and act?:
UNTAMED SPIRIT:
Rough up my “conventional values”
with the wildness of your love and creativity.
Help me to let go
of my need to predict and control
and let me enter
the unmapped regions
of your grace.- Sam Hamilton-PooreEarth Gospel

Inauguration Day

Has this day lost its glamour? Or, do you still feel and love the pomp of this day every four years?

Do we see and hear so many reprehensible things that its hard to appreciate hairstyles, clothes and pomp.

Hearing and watching the loss of lives in Algeria for the last few days; does it make you want to sit and cry and wonder why so much glib from Our Nations Leaders rather than a comforting, consoling voice to Our nation. Just read news with the following;  “Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal is expected to give details at a Monday news conference about one of the worst international hostage crises in decades, which left American, British, French, Japanese, Norwegian and Romanian workers dead or missing. …”

Sometimes I think Sackcloth and Ashes should be the dress code for the day.

After reading Smith Wigglesworth devotional – January 14…His thought for the day: The Word of God is marrow to your bones. It is resurrection from every weakness; it is life from the dead.

Lord we lift up ____ to you and we proclaim The WORD, your WORD the HOLY SCRIPtures are marrow to
______BONE. YOUr Word – SPOKEN WORD to HIS MARROW is resurrection to his BONEs. We proclaim that by YOUR WORD

HIS BONES are resurrected and NEW again in the Name of the Lord JeSUS. They LIVE by the power of YOUR WORD! In Jesus’s name. Amen and amen

God’s Mercy

“Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19, 20 NIV

God loves smallness and He honors it. But, do we?

“The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.” EDWIN SCHLOSSBERG

Daily Devotion

As a team we read together in 2012; Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I understand some of us, if not all of us, have her new book; “Jesus Today.”

Hope to share with many others the joy and value of shared experiences as we walk daily through 2013 with Jesus Today in our hands.

Would love to hear from friends and family that are sharing in these devotions and your daily notes here.

Baked Ziti! Chef MG!

Have you ever had ham, turkey and all the trimmings until you dreamed that you were transported to another venue? I have! Baked Ziti; I thought I was in Italy! Key Lima Pie; I thought I was in Florida! Jello Mold; thought I was in NC! Sparking Wine; I really began to think I was in France.

One of our special Daily Lily Writers sure knows how to make a heart leap with joy @the aroma from her oven, fingers on her piano keys and many other gifts as she teaches her school children how to sing, act and share.

Thanks MG for your generosity.

Look for MG’s articles right here on The Daily Lily and new ones coming in 2013.
