 May you have many simple pleasures  as the simple things in life are the best !!! Glenna (aka--Kay-K)  

Easter ---my favorite time of year drawing near

Easter

 my favorite time of year

of all the other days Easter means more to me

 love CHRISTmas and the birth of JESUS

however

Easter brings the new beginnings

new life, the renewing , the freshness of
spring

all things come to life near Easter

just as JESUS brought to us

the new life by the shedding of his precious blood

it just makes me feel so alive

I am like a kid at Easter yep this old gal

loves to

color eggs as you know they taste better

at Easter

each year I try to give up something for Lent

and in the giving up

the closeness

I feel

reminds me of an old song

draw me nearer , nearer to the cross

that is my prayer

draw me nearer , nearer to you JESUS

each day 

Without Easter,

there would be no hope of heaven.

Without the hope of heaven,

there would be no repentance,

no personal transformation,

no attempt to follow biblical principles.

Without Easter,

the world would be in chaos

and darkness.

Jesus’ death and resurrection

means we can be reborn,

to live better, to do better,

to shine light into the shadows.

Hallelujah!

Happy, Happy Easter.

May you too feel the renewing , refreshing of
JESUS
this year

My Simple Pleasure

this week

is

Last night it was storming,

our dog is so afraid of storms that

my husband has to take him to

bed and build him a fort of pillows to

surround him 

with it storming my husband and I take

Champion to bed

and we just lay there and

have a little talk

I look over and see

our peaceful and

comforted he feels with just

my husband letting him

lay on his pillow as he feels my husbands touch

such a simple pleasure to lay and talk and comfort

our baby doggy

thinking about this simple pleasure I have to say

it reminds me of wanting to feel

that kind of  protection and comfort from our heavenly father

Just knowing his hand is always on us

how awesome !!!

Lent 2009

LENT and giving up soda's by Glenna Marcum-Reynolds on Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 11:30am


I just wanted to write a little bit about Lent  this year as most of you know it started
Feb.25 and I choose something this year that has been the hardest for me I have gave up all soda's (which I drank 6 to 8 diet ones a day )and so far so good
with this choice I didn't know that every time I passed a Soda Machine, Carton of Soda or looked in my Fridge, just how much I would be reminded of the sacrifice and the Forty days that JESUS was in the wilderness praying ,each time I have just said  thank you JESUS for the ultimate sacrifice you gave just for me
In years past I have given up different things but this year it truly has been a hard one and I have about 15 more days to go so for the next fifteen days I know it will be just as hard if not harder as it was this past Friday I went to Subway ordered a drink and looked at the soda machine and thought OH NO , NO water how tempting this was for me , then I looked a little closer and saw the water tab and on this day I had to look a little closer at my walk and how I can be seen as a better witness for CHRIST .. you see the drinks were all labeled bright and pretty very appealing to the eye and the water that was  so pure was such a   small tab not bright didn't stand out like the others ..the purest item on the drinks was almost not seen
this made me think how we as Christian should stand out and be Bright not dull or stay
hidden
I just wanted to share this experience thus far ....



( I had posted this on facebook in 2009 and wanted to share this with blogspot. )

Blessings to you all

Love ................

Love

I had wrote this some time back however never

posted it

Lunchtime today I was reading in my bible study and came across this and had to share it

A husband and wife got into a quarrel and the wife grabbed two pieces of paper and they were to write down all the faults each other had and she would write and look up and then her husband would write and this went back and forth both writing and then they exchanged papers the wife began to cry she had wrote all her husbands faults she could think of and all that was on his paper was I love you , I love you , I love you ....

Thought this was sweet  of the Husbands love for his wife and how in anger we will say things we wish they had never been said
This husband was showing the wonderful example of love for his wife ..............I love you , I love you ,
I love you ,
 
 
 
I must remember this in times of anger .....the I love you's
 
 
Many Blessings to all
Glenna
 
 

Life..simple life.....

Reading many posts

I see that many people

are living

the simple life

Life

doesn't have to be full

of riches

as riches cant buy happiness

nor can it buy us one extra minute of life .....

Simple life

gives us happiness

no worries as to how

our big or beautiful our homes are

not trying to keep up with the "Jones"

just clean, pure, simple living

In simple living

I have found that the birds

are beautiful music of the early mornings
Nothing no better than coffee on the porch
listening and watching the birds

that Beauty surrounds me each

day

just looking at GOD's creation

trees, flowers, sun, sky

so much beauty in a simple

life

just look at all the beauty in simple things

as you drive, walk , or just sit

 look at it all

I want to

be the sponge that

tries to soak all the beauty of the simple life

and give

GOD

the praise for allowing me this simple beautiful life


Thanks be to GOD for all his beauty

 May you have many simple pleasures  as the simple things in life are the best !!! Glenna (aka--Kay-K) 

 

Glimpse of heaven as told to me

        In January my brother was given a glimpse into heaven

and as he had them call me to come to see him before

he was shipped to a bigger hospital

I walked in and he looked at me as" he said

don't ever stop praying and going to church its real

I have saw it "

The lights of heaven were so bright and

the beauty I just cant tell you

JESUS was so bright I could not see his face as  

the lights were so bright  its just all so beautiful

don't

ever doubt !!!

I said Buggs you know , you were like John on the isle of Patmos

and he said I ain't John wasn't on no island I am Everett Jr

but I saw what I saw and don't ever doubt it
I told him I knew it was real .

He then told of the people he saw of our family.

February 11th 2011
I stopped by his house on my way from work
as I did every evening .

I got to read some in the bible to him

and talked of what I had learned in

bible study about the little shepherd boy David and how
David had prepared his heart for GOD also told him
That I would have not wanted to have waited twenty two years
before leaving the fields as a shepherd
of course Buggs I said you know this as you have studied

for many years the bible

and I sang Jesus loves me and Buggsey

asked him if he wanted me to pray before I left and with the

squeeze of two fingers I knew he wanted me to pray

I said a little prayer and told him I would see him in the morning

I feel blessed to have got to talk pray, read the bible to him

just before he entered the gates

I just have to say thank you GOD for allowing me to

be the one to share your word  with  him before

he saw you .

he got the real glimpse

about a hour later

he was walking on the streets of Gold

with his saviour

to all  that are reading in times of doubt

my friend

believe me

my brother saw it and said never doubt as its

REAL !!!!!

Buggs wrote this  some months ago

In the beginning GOD created heaven, earth and moon

this was all apart of his great plan

Now Scientists say the universe was made

by a giant explosion

some even believe this is true

but let me tell your children my GOD

lit the fuse !!!!(EMJ)

My heart breaks but I know he is the happiest he has

ever been

 he is free to dance, sing, Praise GOD

and his pain free

I know his mansion is a sight to see

he was such a humble brother

he would say this to me often when we would talk

I am not only your biological brother but your brother in Christ
I would always respond you are my 2 in 1

I love you my two in one brother

biological brother and brother in Christ

One of his favorite songs

Journey of Faith Friday 3 4 2011

 Redeemed, Anointed, Transformed Our ladies bible study just finished a seven week Study of David , this study the devil started attacking from day one and I knew that I was going to learn alot as I studied about David and how his heart was a prepared heart and his love for GOD , as he always sought GOD in all that he did I think of David as the little shepherd boy that was chose to be king and for twenty two years he remained just that a shepherd boy now thinking if GOD had choose me a Queen I would have wanted to be treated with all the royalty that I was intitled to have how many of us would want to go back to our normal days activity when we were the king or queen ?David did everything right until he wanted to bring the ark of GOD back then he took Bathsheba and tried to hide his sins in so many ways that it lead to murder and GOD took his son David asked GOD in Psalms 51for forgiveness  1 Have mercy on me, O God,

according to your unfailing love;

according to your great compassion

blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash away all my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.



3 For I know my transgressions,

and my sin is always before me.

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned

and done what is evil in your sight;

so you are right in your verdict

and justified when you judge.

5 Surely I was sinful at birth,

sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;

you taught me wisdom in that secret place.



7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9 Hide your face from my sins

and blot out all my iniquity.



10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation

and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.



13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,

so that sinners will turn back to you.

14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,

you who are God my Savior,

and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

15 Open my lips, Lord,

and my mouth will declare your praise.

16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;

you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart

you, God, will not despise.



18 May it please you to prosper Zion,

to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,

in burnt offerings offered whole;

then bulls will be offered on your altarI have learned many many things but most of all that we need to prepare our  hearts daily for GOD and to seek him and what he has for us I know beyond a shadow of any doubt that GOD is right by my side I say don't ever doubt its real as my brother got a more than a glimpse into heaven If anyone reading this has ever had any doubts let me tell you as my brother said to me "don't ever stop praying or going to church Its real I have saw it and its beautiful but I don't have the words to describe the beauty of the lights and all the things I have saw"
