Welcome

Welcome to my blog. More nights than not I am up well past the midnight hour. Burning the midnight oil, some might say. I believe it is because I enjoy the "me time". The hubby and the grandson are in bed, the phone is not ringing, I don't have to stop what I am doing to take care of something or someone else. I can watch what I want on TV or not at all if I want. I can turn the volume down or mute it if I want! It's all about me.....and usually God.

It's usually me and Facebook, until all my friends say goodnight and sign off, then it's me and God. We have these talks and He usually shows me something profound.Usually I am amazed at why I never "got it" before. At that very second, I have an "aha" moment, then find somewhere to record it, whether it be on a blog (I've started a few) or journal, (started even more of those), write it in my bible, which has many profound "ahas", or just write it on a piece of paper,that gets put aside and then years later is found to be read again...at just the right moment! An "aha" moment. It all comes full circle. Just like life.

Did you ever notice how people come into your lives at just the right time? Then you go years without seeing or talking to them, then poof, one day you run into them again and you pick up just where you left off. That's how God is. Even though we are not always faithful and loyal to him, He never leaves us. We may not always be thinking of Him or even include Him into our day, but He is always there for us when we call on Him.

Respect~the other act of love

Respect is hard one for me. I want it, need it, and definately expect it from my husband, children, grandchildren, friends, family members, piers, co-workers, etc. We all want it. We should be quick to give it...though we don't always. The bible says "Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace,by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence (respect) and godly fear (respect).  Heb 12:28    Today, I will make a covenant with God to respect my fellow man, especially my husband. I am so guilty of not showing my husband the respect God wants me to show. There is no one besides God that we should show more respect than the person we are married to. We took a vow before God to "love and respect", the two should go together. You  cannot show one without the other. How can you love a man or woman you do not respect?
