WE CAME TOGETHER

It was a March, when we first came together. There were seven of us mothers, and we had given back to God sons, at sometime in our lives, and we were coming together at my Edisto beach house for a weekend of healing. Healing, consisting of walking on the beach; laughing; crying; eating, and just sharing ourselves with each other.....
That March, we joined hands with Charlotte,Leslie,Cheryl,Ramelle,LaVonne,Jennifer, and myself. Our time together brought with it pictures, memories,.....lots of memories,folks, because that's okay here.
It's kinda hard the first year, because you don't know what to expect, but in an instant, you inherit a brand new family of the most incredible ladies, ever!
Ladies, who don't mind you talking about your precious child; they allow you to spend time with your memories, and you heal.
These friendships are bonded together and sealed with something that is stronger than cement.I think it's the glue of our Lord's Grace that seals it!
Sadly, we seem to grow, every year, and this next weekend, we will have over twelve ladies coming.This means that another mother is having her heart strings severed this year. We will be adding some new and very dear friendships too.
It's hard when you lose someone, but when it's your child, it's really rough.
Please be gentle with us in our healing process. It doesn't make any difference to us "when" they left us. We just know they are gone, and not coming home. We won't see them, until we go home!
There is this big huge void in our hearts.....forever......becuse our child is gone.
Thank you folks, for understanding, the next time you see someone who has lost a child. It's like having that child back in your womb.
You can't see him,or her, but you always feel their presence.

A FIRM FOUNDATION

On Saturday mornings, when I was a little girl I use to go with my Daddy, on many of his building jobs.He would inspect the work, that the job crews had done, during the week, and if there were any of the men there, that day, they would always allow me to "help" some......(I'm not sure what good I did,but it was fun!)
Daddy always stressed the importance of a rock solid foundation, when building a home, and I think that was one of the reason's, that his homes were always long lasting and so well built!
It's the same way in our homes today.The foundation is the most important structure of the family. Just as the walls,and ceiling won't stand firm, under a shaky floor, neither will children stand firm, under a weak, or unconcerned parents.
Their foundation, must be laid down on the solid word of God; cemented in His precepts, so that they will never give way.
His word is one solid rock foundation folks, and it "ain't never givin' away".......
Becky

BUT DADDY?

There is, so much that is talked about, concerning divorce and the heartache that it causes the children in families. Now that's true,of course, but it has been placed on my heart lately, to share what the heart ache of a 21 year old girl, feels like when I heard those words so long ago,so I am sharing some of my own hurts......
Words I never,ever thought I would hear from my Mother or Father.....No way!
I grew up the baby of five children, into what I considered a pretty idyllic home.Mama and Daddy devoted their lives to all of us. They took us to Sunday School and church; Daddy taught a class, and Mama sang in the choir;, and we were taught all the "right things" to do, when we were growing up. We were taught to be kind and considerate of others and to follow the golden rule.
After 40 years of marriage, though, my Daddy wanted a divorce!
Even now, at the age of 60, this still gives me a yucky feeling inside when I think back to that day.
I pretty much adored my Daddy, so I had a hard time understanding(muchless accepting) what he was doing. He had put all 5 of us through college, along with a young black boy, who had worked for him,............. and now this?
I was angry folks. Yes, I was, and God had to really work on me during this time.
Mama was hurting, and I didn't understand any of it. Divorce doesn't just hurt the little ones.........No sir! It hurts the big ones too, and sometimes,I think it may even hurt more!My whole insides hurt at that time.......

So many times today, I think of Joseph, and his telling his brother's, that "you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good". Yes, I think that God took what Daddy did, and turned it around for His Glory!
Daddy married Jean, whom I eventually came to love, after Mama married Bob, whom I already knew, and loved!
Both my parents lived to be 89 and 90 respectively, and are with the Lord.
When I go to Mount Dora,I stay with Jean, now.......Isn't that funny?
God works all these things out in such creative ways doesn't He?
From my hurting heart at age 21, to the blessings He has bestowed on me from knowing Jean now......My,my,my.
So, know that it doesn't make too much difference if you are a young child,or a young adult,.....divorce hurts! God hates it, so that, in itself, should tell us something.
If it's before God, then it's for keeps! If it hadn't been for my Lord holding onto me, I'm not sure I would have made it.I was in the generation, where divorce was just unheard of!
They say experience can be the best teacher, so if it gets rough in a marriage,I'm glad after 34 years,that I learned from a difficult situation......
Becky

YES,HE IS

O,I stand in the house of the Lord......
Yes,I stand and taste how good it will be.
As the precious oil upon our Lord's annointed head,
Is the aroma of His Glory,
When we stand before Him.
He is the beginning of the end.
He is the end of the beginning.
And every breath given is so ordained by Him.
He is.....
Above all......
He is above all.......
Yes He is.......
Becky

THE ILLUSION

We all came together to see the ilusionist, in our new church facility, and we weren't disappoointed.
Andre' Kohl was quite a treat, and just knowing that he trained David Copperfield, in many of his illusions, was enough of to whet my appetite!
When we watched a smaller sized scale of the Statue of Liberty disappear right before our very eyes,I about fell out of my seat.....Yikes folks!
I'm not easily fooled, but even I was impressed.
However,I was more impressed by the fact that this reknown illustionist also knows that the word of God is NOT an illusion, and can always be counted on.
It is sharper than any two edged sword, and that is not an illusion, either!
Becky

GOTCHA

You know,I can still remember playing tag on the playground, at Roseborough Elementary School. We had all kinds of tag games, but I especially liked to run up to someone, and say,"Gotcha"!
Then, the chase was on.......
I thought about that today, while driving home, and I just had to chuckle to myself.
God must have invented the game, because He tagged me for His team, a long time ago, and chased me down, until He caught me.
He said,"Gotcha Becky", and He never let go!
And I'm lovin' every minute of it!
Becky

FANNIE FARMER

I was upstairs, cleaning out my closet, again, when I found something that brought tears to my eyes. It was my Mother's cookbook from Stetson University.......
The Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School Cookbook.....1924 edition!
This one had some of her very own handwritten recipes tucked away in it too, which made it even more special! .................I almost wept from missing her too.
When you can't pick up the phone and communicate with the ones you love,it hurts!.
When I came back downstairs,I thought about how our Lord and Savior, closed the book on His life, when He hung on a cross for us.
When He gathered up all of humanities sins, and placed them on Himself,He briefly broke that loving fellowship with His Father.
His Father could know no sin....ever, ...........even from His own Son!
He did something for us, that we will never have to see again.
Aren't we glad He did though?
I don't get to talk to my Mama anymore, but one day I will , once again....
Better yet, though,I will see, and talk with, face to face, my Lord and Savior,Jesus!
That's a great recipe, for her cookbook!
Becky

NOW AND FOREVER! AMEN!

When I get up during the night,I find that I have to touch things as I walk across the room, in the dark. This keeps my balance in focus, or atleast keeps it stationary.....
As long as I am touching,or coming in contact with something that is stationary, then, even if I am moving,I am still grounded!
This same principle applies to the word of God!
No matter where we go, or move, as long as we are "touching", or grounded, in the word of God, we will always keep our balance, and stay focused.......
Everytime!
All the time!
Now and foever more!
Becky

CHARMED, I'M SURE!

I was cleaning out my closet again, when I came across a bag, filled with some old neclaces and bracelets. One of which, was my high school charm bracelet.
What a delight to go back and see just what I had so dearly treasured(way back when).....
There was a jack in the box, from my Junior year's prom theme,......"Toyland";
An emblem of "The Future Homemakers of America";
A number "16" from my 16th birthday party;
A graduation mortar board disc;
A Mount Dora High School " Golden Hurricane" emblem;
An emblem of the state of Oregon;
A miniature piano from my piano playing days;
A miniature football, that opened up to hide notes;
A Dutch windmill;
A Methodist Youth Fellowship President's disc for the year,1963-1964;
An angel charm from Harry;
A charm with DAVE on it(But not my Dave);
A miniature Space Needle;
A "Good Luck" disc, written in Japanese;
A book for housing pictures;
A miniature basketball;
A Praying Hands, disc with the Serenity Prayer on the back;
A Miss FHA candidate disc;
A Parris Island miniature ring, from Buzzard;
A locket, with my name on it;
A disc with my name on it from Billy, who gave me the bracelet, to begin with,in the 9th grade.......
The one I remember the most,though, was a whistle, given to me, from my Mother. She said it was a reminder to me, when I wore it, to "stop", and think of God's word, before I did anything, and what His word says.......
She said,I could whistle,or "call out" to God for help, at anytime.
I've never forgotten that little piece of advice,or that whistle,either.
It is so true too. He is right there for us.
Those charms made up a good portion of my high school days, but God is the one who put the shine on each one of them, and on me, from the very start, not just in highschool, but now, and forevermore!
Becky

WHATCHA THINK?

When my daughter was about ten years old, we drove to Florida, to see my mother.She lived on a lake, so Kelly naturally liked to go swimming.
One of those morning's, while she was in the water' with her elbows propped under her chin, lying on her tummy, looking up at me,I noticed a (huge) black snake wiggling its way up between her legs.
In my most authoratative voice,I said:"Get out of the water now!"
She obeyed without question. I asked her later, why she didn't hesitate,or question me?
She said my eyes were as big as saucers and because I spoke with authority.
I think we need to remember, when God gives us His word, He is giving it to us with all authority too, and we really would be a whole lot better off listening to Him!
I think it's called "obedience."
Becky

POLLEN TIME

It's that time of year again!
It's the time of year that I love the most.
When I can sit outside on the deck,and watch all the my wonderful birds, flitting about. Today, after I "tried" to wipe the pollen off the windows(ha ha) I sat down on the swing and watched some blue birds fight over who was going into the birdhouse! The cool thing, was though, below the tree, were two grey Dove's and one bright red,male Cardinal......
The stark contrast in color was something else! From the grey Doves representing Peace, to the bright red Cardinal, representing, the blood of Jesus.....My,my,my.....
Jesus, and the peace in your life.....
What a combination!
Becky

WATCH IT!

I wonder how many of us, have been driving down the highway, with someone, sitting in the seat next to us, and we had to suddenly slam on the brakes?
How many of us,instinctively threw out our right hand,to protect the person sitting in the passenger's seat? I'll bet almost all of us, at one time,or another.
I can still remember my Mother doing the same for me......
Now, after all these years later, I find myself doing the same thing.
Sometimes, though,I like to think my Heavenly Father would do the same thing for me. When I'm going along on my merry way, and He knows I am gonna have to slam on the brakes in my life, He places His loving arms in front of me, to protect me from all the harmful elements, just like a loving parent.....
My,my,my......
Becky

THE CHAIR

There's an excercise chair, at Curves, that is situated, where the sun shines in, on the person, who is sitting in it, when they are excercising.Each of us, that sits in the chair, always says,"The sun feels so good"!
No truer words were ever spoken either!
The "Son" always feels good!
Becky

WORDS TO HEAR

Words to hear:.....
Oh yes, I was glad when I heard you say:
"Well done,good and faithful servant."

Places to go:.........
Oh yes,"let us go into the house of the Lord."
What a beautiful place to bring me to,Father, and what wonderful words to get me there!
Becky

KIND AND LOVING FATHER

Kind and loving Father, Your ways are not always my ways, so direct my heart and mind, so that I follow Your Holy path. Entice my senses with the fragrance of Your Holiness. Stir up my desire,Oh God,for Your precepts, and create in me the wonder for Your word, everyday.
Reveal the truth of Your wisdom in all You say and do, and help me to discern Your meaning. Fill me with praise for Your Everlasting Greatness, and command my lips in their ceaseless utterance of Your Praise.
My,my,my, do I love You,Lord.
Such a kind and Loving Father to love me back.......
Becky

EXPECT WONDERS!

The Bayer Aspirin ad, now says.....
"Expect Wonders"!

How about this, instead.......
" God.............. Expect More Than Wonders!"

MINTS

We need to have a "thought mint",
as well as a breath mint, if we
want our thoughts to be acceptable
unto God......
Becky

WOULD YOU?

We don't want dirt on our white clothes, so why in the world, do we think God wants dirt on His white "spotless" clothes?

Better yet, if we are new creatures in Christ, we will put on His new clothing.
Now, ask yourself......
Would you wear His clean, white garment, with your old dirty accessories all over it?
Becky

came back downstairs, and thought about how our Lord and Savior,closed the book on His own life, by hanging on a cross for us.
When He gathered up all of humanity's sins, and placed them on Himself, He briefly broke that loving fellowship with His own Father.
For His very own Father could know NO sin....ever! Not even from His own Son! He did something for us, that we will never have to have done again, but aren't we grateful, that He did this for us?
I don't get to talk to Mama anymore, but one day I will again......
One day,though,I will see my Lord Jesus,face to face!
And that's a recipe for a Glorious Celebration!
Becky

AUNT BERTHA

When I was a little girl, and I would stay with my Grandmother Bouterse, she and I would listen to a radio program, that was called the Aunt Bertha Radio Hour,or something like that, out of Grand Rapids,Michigan.I don't remember much about her, except that I sent her my 25 cents every week, and that I liked her!
Now, some 51 years later,I typed in this same information on my computer, and lo and behold, her name popped up, under "CMH.....the voice of Aunt Bertha for 60 years"! I almost fell over.Now, the funny thing is that this same radio station, is one I listen too, on "The Light", on Saturday morning's, as I'm getting dressed. It produces a program I love to listen to now, called "Down Gillead's Lane". Isn't that funny?Two programs, years apart, that touched the heart of this 'ole girl, all because of Aunt Bertha!..............and you tell me my God doesn't have a sense of humor?

IN MY HEART

If my heart could have stopped, from sheer pleasure, it would have done so, today, when Matt directed the choir and orchestra in its rendition of "I'm Not Ashamed".
When the deep beating of the drums began,I felt as if I were hearing the beating of Jesus's heart, as he was hearing the words.
My,my,my, what a beautiful tribute. Even the orchestra members were moved!....(and some were even moving too!)
I couldn't smile any wider than I already did today,Oh Lord.....
Thank you choir, orchestra, and Matt, for Glorifying our Lord, in such a dramatic and beautiful way!
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
Becky

I NEEDED TO SAY THIS

This will be a hard journey,for me to write today,or rather,to explain.....
So, please bear with me.....
Most of my friends in Aiken,kinda understand this concept, because they were around me in 1996, when I suffered my Cerebral Brain Hemorrage, and lay in a coma for 2 months.
The brain is a funny part of the body folks.
You may see someone, that looks like they are altogether on the outside, because what you are "seeing" looks fine to you!
It's what's moving about, on the inside of the brain, though, that triggers the difference.
I was recently at a baby shower & luncheon, for a new neighbor, given to her, by her neighbors. One of the lady's commented, that her husband had been shot in the head, in 1998, and was dealing with memory loss.I remarked, that I understood his feelings, because I deal with alot of that myself. My other neighbors were completely surprised by this revelation, and had no idea, which is what prompted this writing.
From the time I get up at 6:30 in the morning, until the earliest I could possible leave the house to drive anywhere, (to church, or the doctor) would be 8:30, and it takes all my concentration to do just the simplest task, like brushing my teeth. I literally have to concentrate on the brush and the paste, so I don't squirt the soap on it.It isn't this way everyday, but most days have a major task for me early in the mornings. That's why I can't do mornings!
I can't do Sunday School anymore, which breaks my heart, because I can only do one major thing in the early morning, and I have chosen church on Sunday's, and hearing the word preached!
If I'm doing something, don't interupt me, to do something different, because it will completely throw me off kilter! This is true of any person with a brain injury, not just me......
We can ask the same questions over and ove(and still not get it!)r, and we can listen with rapt attention to your converstaion, but don't ask us what you said!
I've often said, that you could tell me your deepest,darkest secrets and they would be safe with me! Most people laugh at what I just said, but it's kinda sad in a way, but oh so true! The brain that so proudly remembered phone numbers;names, and dates before 1996, is doing well, to remember where she's going when she gets up in the morning.
When you see someone with a brain injury, my dear friends, please remember to be a little more patient with them.
We really are trying.....hard! It may not seem that way to you,I know.
It's frustrating to you,I know.I don't like it anymore than you do......
I'm grateful that God left me here a little longer, in spite of it.
I would never have met my wonderful friends at CBC , in Beaufort, had He taken me home.
Just remember to unwrap these "injury" gifts with a little more sensitivity the next time you meet someone like this.
Maybe in this journey, you will understand just a little better why we act and do the things we do. For example, one morning,I walked into the kitchen, not thinking at all, and later, David asked me what my watch was doing in the refrigerator? Go figure? You have to laugh at yourself,folks! :p)
We can be slow going, but are really pretty neat people most of the time, even if we don't know it, or remember it!
Becky

MAKES SENSE TO ME

When I travel back and forth to Aiken,I see so many old, dilapidated homes, on the side of the road.
Homes, that somebody once lived in.....
Homes that were once beautiful;built with strong,sturdy lumber, when the paint was new and shiny.
Now, it is scorched from the sun and weather beaten from the rain and wind.
Lots of homes along the way.......
Just like you and me,really. We're just like those houses.
We were once young;strong and beautiful......
Many of us, though,have turned a silver grey, under God's weathering, and some of us, have even lost the "roof's" of our homes. Weather in a dry season, or in a rainy one, God has managed, to take these homes we live in, and produce a crop for Him.
These homes along the highway, will one day, be torn down for firewood.....
My home, will be carried off into a land of Glory, where it will be rebuilt and started all over again, on a far more glorious plane.....
What a magnificent journey that will be!
Becky

MINTS

We need to have a "thought" mint, as well as a breath mint, if we want our thoughts to be acceptable unto God.
I think the favorite brand is called The Bible.
Becky

WOULD YOU?

We don't want dirt on our nice, white clothes, so why in the world,
do we think that God would want dirt on His white,spotless, and sinless self too?


***Better yet,if we are new creatures in Christ, we will wear"His" new clothing.
Now, ask yourself, if you would wear His clean white garment, would you still put on all your dirty accessories?

MY LIFE

If my life were required of me today,
Let me present myself to God,as a crown of gold.
Becky

HOLD FAST

Hold fast to me, my sweet Lord.
Don't allow me to drift away. You are all I have that truly matters.
You have pierced my heart with Your words and promise of Eternal life.
My flesh may fail me, but You are my portion forever.You have taken hold of my heart, and laid claim to it,Father, and I will not let go!
Your nearness is to that of the fragrant aroma of Your Grace.......So Sweet Hold me close to Your heart,Oh God, and may Your lovingkindness permeate every pore within me....
Becky

SO DEAR

I have never been kept so close, as I have been kept by You,my Lord.
You have given me shade during the noonday sun, and warmth, on the cold,lonely nights.....
You have kept the evil one at bay, with the sword of truth, and You are the sentinel on guard of my comings and goings, and will continue to do so, forever.....
You are my very present help, whether in times of trouble,or in joy.For You give me strength in all I do,my Lord and Savior.
It's no wonder that I look to the hills for my help, because it does indeed come from You. For only You could have created all of this.........
Becky

REDEEM ME

Redeem me,Oh Lord,and guard my heart, so that I may never walk away from You again......
Rescue me from those who persecute me,Father, and lift me high above my adversaries.
Place me close to Your beating heart, where I may safely dwell. Your every word is my net of safety,Lord, and Your mercies extend beyond measure.
Surely, You have found me acceptable in thy sight,Oh Lord of All, and consider my heart Yours forever, to be kept in the shelter of the Almighty.
Becky

THANKSGIVING

I am filled with joy, over all Your kind deeds, dear Lord and Father. Your lovingkindness, is beyond all measure to my weary heart.It awakens my troubled soul, and renews my strength. You have made my dwelling place a happy one, even when I am alone,Oh faithful Father.
You are from beginning to end, and an everlasting to everlasting love of my life. My countenance is filled with Your joyful presence, and will be forevermore.......
Shelter with You, Most Wonderful Lord,is more precious than a canopy of pure gold. Highly exalted to my heart are You, my Father, and my whole being rings out with the joy of being Your child now and forevermore......
Becky

SOOOOOOOOO NICE

Remind me daily,Oh Lord,to always keep you as my first love.
Help me to rekindle the passionate fire of love, for Your Holy word. Make this the desire of my humble heart, dear Lord and Savior. Restore my soul back unto You, so that I may grow strong in Your principles and precepts.
May Your face shine with glory upon me in all that I do.
Turn my face, neither to the left, nor to the right, but keep it directed straight upon You. Guide my footsteps,Lord, and hold onto my hand, lest I slip and fall by the wayside, or on rocky ground.
You are my light and firm foundation, and my very present help in time of trouble.
My,my,my,is that nice......
Becky

MEET THE "BEST"

Remember this?

"If it's Sunday:......It's Meet the Press!"
................................................................. How about this instead???


If it's Sunday:......"It's Meet With God!"

LOVELY;LOVELIER;LOVELIEST

Our new church facility is lovely on the inside.....
The people who worship there, are even lovelier.......
Our Lord and Savior, who brings it all together, is the loveliest of all!
Becky

STAY CLOSE

Blessed are You, who sustains and delivers me.
You are my portion each day, as my cup overflows with Your Mecry and Grace.
Your faithfulness is beyond all measure,Lord, and You will not allow my foot to stumble or slip, but will direct my steps along the path of Righteousness, all the days of my life.....
My heart is broken and incomplete without You, my Precious Lord and Savior.
Just as the noonday sun follows the nightime moon, my desire to be more Holy follows from my infancy.
To walk hand in hand with Your precepts, would delight my heart, so much, kind and loving Father, so stay close to me.....
Becky

LET THE HEAVENS REJOICE

Let the heavens and earth rejoice.
There cometh a day, when All Glory shall return and reign over all......
The beauty of the finest flower, will dim, compared to His splendor........
A rainbow will never look so magnificent........
The mountains' majesty will pale in comparison.......
And then.......
The clouds will fill with His righteousness,
And peace will fill the air.
Yes,Paul you were so right......
"To live is Christ;
To die is gain"

X MARKS THE SPOT

Driving back from Aiken today, Nellah remarked that there were airplane trails in the sky left by a jet plane. The sign it made was of an "X". I immediately said "X marks the spot" and it really does, when you think about it.....

Now, we can mark the spot above, where He reigns in Glory!
X marks the spot in my heart for the love of my life....Jesus Christ!
Becky

PEACHES

As Nellah and I were driving to Aiken,today, she spotted a cluster of newly planted peach trees in a nearby field.
I remarked that the farmer's never waste a thing!........and we both said,at the same time,"just like God"!
He doesn't waste a thing, does He?
He makes use of every nook and cranny around, and the bloom He comes up with is unbelievable!
Becky

GET OUT OF DODGE !

When sexual temptation steps into your pathway.......
Put on your running shoes,
And get out of dodge!

DRESS REHEARSAL

When you are in a play, you have dress rehearsals, so that you will be ready for "opening day".
Likewise,we are given this life as a dress rehearsal for our Eternity in Heaven.
Let's make it a great dress rehearsal for the Director & Producer....our Lord!
Becky

FOREVER

Oh, my Lord, You are my sustainer, and a very present help in time of trouble.....
I give thanks above, for Your Holy name,Oh Lord, for Your name is Highest above all names.
My shelter and reguge I have found in thee,Oh God, and You have called me "blessed".
There is no want in me, for You have fulfilled all the desires of my heart.
Surround my countenance with Your presence, both day and night,Lord, and extend Your hand to me, unto the Heavens, where Your Lovingkindness resides, and allow me to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.....
Becky

THE GIFT

Yes,everyday, is a gift from God.....
As we do, when we give a gift to somone, we wrap it with loving care in special wrappings, and take special care to present it in the best way posssible.
We want to reflect the givers love!
In the same way, God wants us to reflect His love, as a very special and unique gift to the world......
We need to remember and take special pains with how we present His gift, and how we reflect the Savior's message, by how we speak; dress; and act.....
Really, by how all the things we do, in how we reflect His word to the world!
Would they choose us as a special gift, or throw us out?
Becky

MY SUSTENANCE

Since the Lord, is indeed my Shepherd, He knows what His flock needs, to be sustained, and He knows I will not be in want......
He will sustain the righteous and be my portion forever, if I but wait upon the Lord!
He has established my steps from before time, and He delights in me.
Oh,I am so blessed to be a child of the King.
I am not to fret,or be envious.
Instead,I am to trust and delight myself in this Lord,whom I call "King", and dwell within His faithful land.....
My,oh,my,yes!
If I can do this, and commit my ways to Him, trusting that He will be faithful to His promises, then His Righteousness, will shine through as the noonday sun upon my countenance!
Becky

I'VE GOT IT!

When I finally think I've got it.......
God speaks to my heart,and reminds me, that......
He's the one, who's got it!
