Wonderful day to you my Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues!!
I want to share something with you today. It has to do with Summerside Press, a publishing company. I have purchased a wonderful little book that dawns their name inside as its publication source. The comment states that they are an inspirational publisher offering fresh, irresistible books to uplift the heart and engage the mind. ... This particular statement honors its integrity with the particular book I was wise enough to purchase from a local store. And it's something that I can hardly wait to get their approval to publicly use so I can share with you in my own particular style and grace. So if you appreciate what it is that I bring to the world, please contact Summerside Press to let them know. Thank you very kindly. On behalf of all concerned, thank you very much. After all, there is none of us an island completely to himself. We all need as much help as we can get to help us do more than merely survive everyday life. We are here to help be a blessing to each the other in a way that honors us all as well as God.
I also found another publishing company of a particular magazine with which I am also totally unfamiliar. I need to study up on them. My style of writing is so unlike what's out there in the public forum that it may take a miracle for them to accept what I have to offer. However, their statement of value is that they do not take any journaling of any kind and that they only accept that which uplifts, encourages and brings an over-all feel-good sentiment to what is submitted to them and posted in their magazine. Which, by the way, does not offer any sort of advertisement whatsoever. How about that? A magazine that does not advertise anything in it except the writings it contains to bring a bit of peace, love, joy and encouragement to one's soul. Now isn't that amazing?! I think so. It's called The Sun. Anybody ever heard of The Sun Magazine before? I never did. Anybody familiar with this magazine, please feel free to drop me a note letting me know if you'd appreciate my writings being submitted to them. If so, then I pray you all rally for me concerning this magazine. That means not only praying for me, it also means showing your appreciation by contacting The Sun on my behalf. As of yet I have not contacted them. Instead, I am seeking the advice of those who appreciate my works to see if it be a worthwhile venture. Please let me know. Thank you. The Sun's main requirement is the love of writing and touching the reader's heart. I pray that my written works does just that for that is my intent. I pray that my writings impact the soul in a powerful, uplifting, supportive way. I may not know every person among my Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues, but that does not mean I cannot endeavor to touch and bless each and every one somehow someway.
Well, God richly bless you all in all that is good, right and most beneficial. God bless you and keep you. God make His face to shine upon you and be exceedingly gracious to you. God lift you up and give you peace. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
And thank you all for all the ways you show your support of my works and how much you value what it is I have to offer. I appreciate you all and wish only God's best for you. And thank you kindly for all the ways you prove to be Dear Friends and Precious Partners in this venture for the good of all concerned. God richly bless you. Amen. :0)

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT
Hello Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues,
How's everybody doing? Well, I hope. Better, I trust.
Miss me while I was off-line? I missed being able to do this. I missed communicating with you all and lifting you up in this special way. But praise be to God Most High!, He corrected this issue through my Uncle Ron, who lovingly and graciously provided me a new computer. So, in appreciation for his benevolent generosity in providing me a new computer, please give my Uncle Ron in Wichita a shout out. Let him know how much you all appreciate my writings and how much they mean to you. Remember to thank God for it, too, and praise Him also, for the wonderful way He made sure to get me back online and for keeping me there for goodness' sake, in Jesus' Name.
I came across something from Summerside Press. I'm so excited about it and putting my own spin on it that I can hardly wait to share it with you. However, I must get permission from them first. Feel free to contact www.summersidepress.com to let them know how much you appreciate my works and how inspiring they are to you. Let them know that it's to our mutual benefit to approve my request regarding the use of their published works. Thank you.
Something else I greatly enjoy besides prayer writing is creating beautiful jewelry pieces. Haven't gotten into selling it yet, but if anybody's interested feel free to contact me. Once I learn how to post pictures I will do so, or maybe even create another site if that be a better way of doing things. Keep in mind that I am new to this and still have much to learn, so I am open to suggestions as well as information. Prayer writing will always be my greatest passion even though I do enjoy doing other things as well. However, regardless of what it is I do, it is my intention to plant blessings that reap a harvest of bountiful good.
Now, continuing on with what I do best ...
... Our Father Which Art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will Be Done,
In us and through us as well as in and through every facet of our lives, affairs and relationships AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
Give us this day revelation of Thy abiding Presence, Wisdom, Truth and Supernatural Insight, so that we may live, move and have our being this day in the glory of Thy marvelous light; that we may accomplish all that You desire of us; that we may also do all that we can to be the blessing we are meant to be, thereby exalting Christ, glorifying God, and manifesting Heaven every day in every way.
For it is You, Abba Father, Who does not lead us into temptation, but Who does deliver us from evil. Because it is You, Abba Father, Who has promised to never leave us nor forsake us, and Who truly does have a Divine Plan meant to bless and prosper us and to give us hope and a future.
And thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is The Way, The Truth, and The Light of our lives, and Who has intervened on our behalf before God and His enemy Satan, even unto death, because He was, is and ever shall be fully aware that ....
Thine alone, Almighty God, is The Kingdom, Glory, Honor, Power, Praise and Majesty, forever and ever. And He did it for all our sakes. For the sake of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, Jesus did what He did to redeem us from Satan's power, to deliver us from the kingdom of darkness, and to translate us into The Kingdom of Thy Marvelous Light.
And for whatever ways we have taken this lightly or not treated such amazing grace, tender mercy and perfect love, with the cherished respect due, Abba Father, please forgive us, in Jesus' Name. And Lord Jesus, please also forgive us. Were it not for You, Lord Jesus, we would be utterly without hope and our futures would most definitely be bleak and utterly disparing. But thanks to You, Lord Jesus, we do have hope and even a Divine Plan set in motion designed to create a spectacular future for the sake of God's glory. There is little wonder why You are King of kings and Lord of lords, Precious Jesus. No one else is fit for such honor. And most certainly, no one else could even possibly wear such a crown. No, that right is meant for no one else but You, Lord Jesus, for You are very much indeed The Sun of Righteousness.
Be exalted to the glory of God The Father, Lord Jesus. Be exalted to the glory of God The Father. Even in and through us, Lord Jesus, be exalted to the glory of God The Father, from this time forth and forevermore. Amen.
Lord Jesus,
Thank You, also, for all the ways You use my writings and this blog to glorify God. Thank You for providing me an outlet with which to share with others what is in the soul of my being for You. Do You think they realize how privileged they are to join in our conversation? Do You think they realize what an honor it is to join in such worship while at the same time also being lifted up? I pray they realize what a tremendous blessing and precious gift of amazing grace they are welcomed to participate in.
Lord Jesus,
Many are in a world of torment and upheaval right now and don't know where to turn. I pray that for their sakes they are given eyes to see the glorious wonders of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness at work in their lives and affairs, even in the very midst of their circumstances. Lord Jesus, encompass them all with the miracle of Thy omnipotent goodness. Let Thy omnipotent goodness flood their darkness with God's Holy Light. And as a result, Lord Jesus, I pray they experience more goodness, more victory, power and strength, then they have ever experienced before.
And for those who are well versed in health, wealth, success and happiness in their personal endeavors, thank You. Thank You for all that they have achieved and for the wisdom that helped them to do so. But thank You also, Lord Jesus, for the love that moves them to help and bless others so they are lifted up to new heights. What great joy and sheer delight to all concerned and all involved to be of such a mind. To have such a soul is truly an awesome treasure to have, to hold ... and to behold.
Lord Jesus,
Thank You for all the ways You use to grow us all up in Christ for the sake of God's glory. Is there any greater miracle than You, Lord Jesus, to help God realize all His joy, and us as well? Thank You for being The Light of our lives, Lord Jesus. Glory be to God Most High! Amen and Amen.
How's everybody doing? Well, I hope. Better, I trust.

PRECIOUS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND LIFE COLLEAGUES
To all my Precious Family, Friends & Life Colleagues :
After being off line for so long only to return and see the many who have checked out my personal blog, I must thank you and apologize at the same time. First, I thank you for checking out my blog and seeing the soul of my heart put in print. The fact that you checked out my blog means that you were drawn to it for good reason. This of coarse is God's doing. Little did I know how much He would put my writings to work for the sake of others such as myself looking to find a way to worship God while at the same time putting a new spin on things. How wonderful that there are a plethora of ways in which to honor both God as well as our the fellow members of our family, friends and life colleagues. My writings is just one way. Look out side, hear the children's laughter fill the air, see the season's bloom, etc.. So many ways in which to delight ourselves in God as well as in each other, ways we often take for granted. Yet ways in which were we to really take stock in, we'd realize that when we give of the best of ourselves to God as well as to each other, we'd realize not only how wonderful life really is, but the joys of Heaven manifest as well.
Continuing on, as I'm sure that you don't need me preaching at you and that you are wondering why it has been so long. Well, for one, I must apologize for being away for so long. Weekends are the most difficult for me to get online, first off, due to highly energetic, inquisitive and explorative grandchildren whom I tend most every weekend from early Friday morning till mid afternoon or late Sunday evening, and sometimes various days throughout the week. But weekends especially with them being what they are with them, I am not getting online. Then there's the other issue of electronic failure. I do not claim to be an electronic whiz. I know what I know and can do many a thing I attempt, however, when electronics are not running well, down or need replaced then there is wait time, even considerable wait time. Such as in this particular case.
But one thing I'd like everybody who happens upon this blog to do, is to give my Uncle Ron in Wichita a shout out for gifting me my new computer laptop so I could get back online again and do what I am meant to do. I did not ask for it, neither did I let him know my situation. However, he was most generous in doing this for me and I for one appreciate it very much. I pray you do too as well and make sure to let him know. And let me tell you, he made sure that it was nothing short of perfect for me. I must say, it is certainly perfect for anyone who enjoys writing. I cannot express my gratitude enough for this lovely gift. And by the way, in case you're wondering about the computer - it's a Toshiba. And boy, is it sweet!. I could not be more happier or impressed. It is that good.
To any of you who have missed my writing or needed my prayers, my humble apologies to you all. Please feel free to post comments regarding what you read or if you would like specific prayer. Also, my writings are my way of worshiping God and getting real with both Him as well as with myself. I share them in hopes that they might help be a blessing to anyone and everyone who could possibly benefit from the words that come pouring from my heart onto these pages. I do not do so to puff myself up or to make myself seem more than I am. I am like anybody else and have my own shortcomings and failings. But it is my goal to learn to live a lifestyle of continuous worship to God in all my ways. Such a goal is quite lofty and one yet to be attained, and I have sorely missed this part of my life. It is the one thing I enjoy most. Being able to live this out in my everyday life is a bonus. Thankfully, God made us family, friends and life colleagues just so we could help lift each other up so we don't fall so short of the glory of His amazing grace. He made us each to be a lighthouse that shines bright with His marvelous light. And what does the light do? It chases away the darkness and helps to keep us from stumbling, fumbling and falling. But if we should stumble, fumble or fall, God made sure to make sure we have someone somewhere available to help us. He made sure to make sure that we were not left alone to totally fend for ourselves because He knew we could not and can not make it on our own. We all need each other in one way or another. Maybe it is that you need me to write what I have to write because it lifts you up, gives you hope, or gives you somebody else to join with you in worship and prayer or to help you to worship and pray in moments when you don't know how. Whatever the case may be, thank God for it. I do. It is definitely a glorious grace given us both by God. It is but one of many reasons for which to praise and glorify God Our Father in Heaven. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP YOU.
GOD MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU AND BE EXCEEDINGLY GRACIOUS TO YOU.
GOD LIFT HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU AND GIVE YOU PEACE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. AMEN.
AND GOD HELP ME MAKE THE MOST OF MY NEW COMPUTER AND TO PUT IT TO MOST APPROPRIATE USE FOR THE SAKE OF EXALTING CHRIST JESUS TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND FOR ALL CONCERNED. IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.

MY THANKSGIVING CHRISTMAS
Precious Heavenly Father,
If You don't mind I am going to coin a very special phrase, one that has never been used before until I used it during this years Thanksgiving holiday season. It may seem odd to some of my Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues, Heavenly Father, but yet it makes perfect sense at the same time. While so many have coined the phrase Chrismika in celebration of the Christmas and Hanukkah season, and rightly so, I believe this new phrase is even more poignant and just as relevant.
Heavenly Father,
I want to thank You for my Thanksgiving Christmas. :0)
Christmas may be some time away from now but it still applies.
Heavenly Father,
I did not have the funds with which to purchase a turkey, sweet potatoes, the fixings to make my own cranberry relish, coleslaw, etc. However, You made sure to provide us a turkey dinner with family just the same. Thank You for that. Robert and I were wondering how this Thanksgiving was going to work out since we are the ones to make the family feast for the kids and grand-kids who come. But this year You took that care for us and took care of it so that we had nothing to worry about by inviting us to one of my children's by marriage home. And it ended up being actually OK. The atmosphere was decently cordial and I was able to help out some, too. How wonderful of You, Father God, to actually be that involved in my life. I appreciate it so very much.
Not only that, Father God, but You helped to bring things together for what may be my mother's last Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday by working out the details for my mother's son/my brother to come back home for a time to visit. It was so nice the time we had with him. And through my brother You opened a door of opportunity for me to actually become gainfully employed. Thank You for that as well, Father God. Even about two weeks prior You made sure to bring my Uncle back into my life again as well. Thanks for that, too. And a half sister and her son and his daughter last night, December 1st. - expanding my family connections even further. It's like Christmas is happening right now in my life. These may seem like simple things to some but to me they mean the world. They mean that my life is touched by Your amazing grace, and I can hardly wait to see what other bountiful blessings and marvelous miracles are going to come my way. Even my brother enjoyed his time back home. He even treated us/his mother and siblings to some very nice eat-outs, something not particularly common to us. Dear Lord, bless him for that. He did do something to make even his visit even more memorable and special when he did that. And being that he enjoyed his time back here, Heavenly Father, even the time he did spend with his family, that means that we all behaved even better than he expected. That in itself is a marvelous miracle.
With all this good happening in my/our life, Heavenly Father, I wonder how many others were so richly blessed. I know I could not have been the only one. But what about those who felt gypped of Your amazing grace and omnipotent goodness, Father God? What about them? Of any and all of my Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues, Father God, who need to be touched by You and to experience the bountiful blessings and marvelous miracles of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, I pray that they will come to know the glory of Thy amazing grace beyond measure, in Jesus' Precious and Holy Name. And I thank You that they do and praise You for it. I praise You for giving them a Thanksgiving Christmas they will never forget. In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen.
I appreciate You so very much for loving me more than I even knew and for getting involved in situational dynamics that had the potential of becoming quite volatile, but with Your Presence very present in the mix that was not going to happen. And I give thanks that what You do for one You will also do for another. That means that there is hope for those who feel hopeless. It means there is absolute good for them to experience in their own lives - to have and to enjoy. Glory to God!! There is no situation that is absolutely hopeless. No, not one. Glory to God!!
Heavenly Father,
I have never been more vulnerable in my public writings as in this moment. I pray it be of great benefit to those who have wondered how human I actually am.

I appreciate You so very much for loving me more than I even knew and for getting involved in situational dynamics that had the potential of becoming quite volatile, but with Your Presence very present in the mix that was not going to happen. And I give thanks that what You do for one You will also do for another. That means that there is hope for those who feel hopeless. It means there is absolute good for them to experience in their own lives - to have and to enjoy. Glory to God!! There is no situation that is absolutely hopeless. No, not one. Glory to God!!
Heavenly Father,
I have never been more vulnerable in my public writings as in this moment. I pray it be of great benefit to those who have wondered how human I actually am.

WE ARE ONE FAMILY
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for all the ways You love me and keep me. Thank You for all the ways You shine upon me and are exceedingly gracious to me. Thank You for all the ways You smile upon me and give me peace. Thank You so very much for all the miracles You are performing in my life, Heavenly Father, so that Jesus Christ is exalted in every phase of my world to the glory of God Our Father in Heaven.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that the same is also true concerning the rest of my Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues. It's just that not everybody knows how to put to words what is in their heart to say. And for those that need help to express their gratitude to the Most Wonderful, Merciful, Loving, Life Enhancing, Life Giving God ... I freely lift up before You this humble prayer of thankful intercession on their behalf because it was Your great pleasure to make us One Family and we are loving and supporting each other as best we know how and as much as we will allow. For now, Heavenly Father, this is my part. So I thank You, Heavenly Father, for how precious each and every member of my Family, Friends and Life Colleagues is to You ... for how tenderly You love them and keep them ... for how You treasure them and delight in them and shine upon them ... and for how exceedingly gracious You are to them ... and for all the ways You reveal the glory of Thy Omnipotent Goodness to them and give them peace.
Heavenly Father,
What has any of us done to be so worthy of Thy Ever-Faithful Holy Love? What has any of us done to receive such a Precious Gift?
Surely You are beautiful beyond description. Too marvelous for words. Too wonderful for comprehension. Like nothing ever seen or heard.
Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom or fathom the depths of Your love.
You are wonderful beyond description, Lord. Majesty enthroned above.
Surely not a single one of us can be anything but in awe of You.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for paying the ultimate price to reconcile us to God. Thank You for proving Your pure and unadulterated devotion both to God as well as to us. What a blessed miracle You are, Dear Jesus, to The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. Surely Thy Omnipotent Goodness knows no bounds.
Bless You. Amen.

ISN'T GOD WONDERFUL?!
Heavenly Father,
Thank You so very much for every Family member, Friend and Life Colleague a part of my world. You are just so wonderful, Heavenly Father, that I cannot express enough about how good You really are ... and how merciful, too.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for all the blessings they have, for all the blessings they are receiving and for all the blessings they enjoy. Thank You for all the miracles You are working in their lives and affairs so Jesus Christ is exalted to the glory of God Our Father in Heaven.
Thank You for all the ways You bless my Family, Friends and Life Colleagues and for all the ways You keep them.
Thank You for all the ways Your Face shines upon them and for all the ways You are exceedingly gracious to them.
Thank You for all the ways Your Countenance rises upon them and for all the ways You give them peace, Heavenly Father.
I praise You, Heavenly Father, for all the ways You are wonderful to us all. Surely we are undeserving of such tender mercy and amazing grace, and yet You honor us so by pouring out upon us Your perfect love. Surely each and every one of us experiences Divine, Unmerited Favor each and every day and in more ways than we often realize.
And Dear Lord Jesus,
You made it possible. You paid the ultimate price so that we could. Thank You so, so very much for loving us so much. Thank You for being so devoted to God as well as so devoted to us that You willingly paid such a high and extravagant price as proof True Excellence and Integrity, and as receipt of Pure and Perfect Love. And You did it so we would be whole and complete in every way, Dear Lord Jesus. Surely even the lowliest of us is highly honored and greatly favored and dearly loved and so much more treasured than we have been lead to believe. Surely there is not a single one of us that goes untouched by some how some way by Heaven.
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You .... for blessing us so much, Dear Jesus.
And to my Precious Family, Friends and Life Colleagues,
In view of this, isn't God absolutely wonderful?!
I love you and bless you and thank God for growing us up together in Christ for the sake of all concerned. And I pray you treasure these words that flow from my heart to God. And I thank you for letting them be a blessing in your own life and for letting them work miracles all around you so you can and will experience more peace, love, joy, and all manner of good than you have ever experienced before.
God bless you, in Jesus' Name. Amen. ;0)
