A Squirrel And A Lesson Of Love


This morning as I sat and drank my coffee, I watched this momma squirrel teach her baby where to go to collect their breakfast.  As she ran up and down the tree over the wooden fence, her baby followed her every foot step. Stopping when mom stopped, running when mom ran and jumping to the next spot just like mom was doing. 
It was a peaceful moment in time in which my daddy God reminded me of his love and care for all his children and his love for me.

I began to think back on the many times in my life his footprints  guided me down the tress, over the fences and through the rough spots in my life, 
The many people he placed in my path to encourage me through my brokenness. 
The love of family and friends that feed me with words of strength and healing.
I began to see all the times in my life he used me to feed others even through my own struggles.
When I surrender to his will, my focus shifts from my own brokenness to theirs. 
In return he positions others to stand for me.
Just as the baby squirrel looked to his mom for direction this morning, it is when I seek the footprints of my daddy God I find my way.
No matter what I am facing in life.....
His love is unfailing....
His grace is given abundantly.....
His mercies are new every day....
He never forsakes me.....
And when I can't walk in his footsteps.....
He carries me.

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart. and my portion forever.

It amazes me what he will use to show his love. 
This morning it was a squirrel and her baby.
 I  share His words which were spoken to my heart this morning as I believe they apply not only me but to all.

"Just as she cares for her baby , I care that much more for you.
I will never allow you to go unfed....
For my love is greater than all others. 
You are mine and the apple of my eye my child.....
It is through me you can do all things.
I bind the wounds and heal the broken hearted....
I will restore 10 fold of what has been lost in your life...
Not only will I do this for you, but for all my children.
Take heart my child it is Me, your Father, who will do great things in your life....
And for all those who love me. "

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good  to those who love God,
to those who are called according to his purpose.

I encourage you, no matter what you may be facing today....
There is a positive for every negative....
A blessing in every trial......
And a love that is unfailing to carry you through.
Look for His foot steps and keep going.

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the in...
