Isaiah 41:10-13 Good News Translation (GNT)

10 Do not be afraid—I am with you!
I am your God—let nothing terrify you!
I will make you strong and help you;
I will protect you and save you.

11 “Those who are angry with you
will know the shame of defeat.
Those who fight against you will die
12     and will disappear from the earth.
13 I am the Lord your God;
I strengthen you and tell you,
‘Do not be afraid; I will help you.’”

 

The Holy Spirit is involved against your enemy.    Every scheme and strategy against you shall ultimately fail if you will be patient in waiting.

You must refuse to permit words of discouragement in your mouth.

Isaiah 41:10-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

10 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Those who oppose and battle against your progress will be confronted by God Himself.
11 “Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored;
Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.

Your enemies shall not succeed against you.
12 “You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them,
Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.
13 “For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’

Isaiah 41:10-13 Living Bible (TLB)

10 Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

11 See, all your angry enemies lie confused and shattered. Anyone opposing you will die. 12 You will look for them in vain—they will all be gone. 13 I am holding you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God—and I say to you, Don’t be afraid; I am here to help you

Merry Christmas a Bit Late

Merry Christmas a Bit Late

Look what I found under my Christmas tree.  I would say someone has enjoyed Christmas too much.

I tried posting early but my site has been having issues and I am just  now getting them solved.

Was there a rush on at your home the day before Christmas?  I was at the grocery store yesterday and kept hearing comments of how tired I am.  People rush and hurry getting everything to perfection or so they think, only to end up so tired they can not enjoy the day when it arrives.  Even when I was a little girl, I can remember my grandmother and aunt hurrying about sewing dresses,  crocheting scarves and most of all baking.  I can remember my grandmother and aunt baking at least 15 cakes each, and to think they were all eaten during the Christmas festivities.  People were always dropping in to visit and it was cake and coffee for everyone.  Can you imagine baking 15 cakes in just a few days before Christmas.  I can remember they were always moist and delicious.  I think it must have been a tradition in the community to see which lady could bake the most cakes so they could talk about  it on Sunday at church.

Another aunt, made a chocolate cake with black walnuts that was to die for. I used to spend the night with her along with my youngest aunt and she would make two of these cakes for us while we were there. Of course they were gone before we went home.

I remember one Christmas my grandmother made (all hand sewn, no sewing machine) a dress that was yellow and black.  I will forever remember that dress.  That also may have been the year that I received a baby doll that had no clothes and I cried because she didn’t have clothes.

My baby doll under this tree, probably received enough toys for three.  She was excited as she opened each thing at our house.  Then she goes to her Nana’s for more.  She calls my daughter-in-law “Dommie”, I think she could not say Grandma so she settled for Dommie when she was younger (it’s kind of like her Daddy not being able to say Grandy when he was little so we got a “Dandy” instead and everyone loves our “Dandy”) and I think it is so sweet when she says the name.

Hope your day has been filled with wonderful fun and family and you received what your heart most desired.

Blessings to you and yours for a wonderful, fantastic New Year that will bring health, wealth and many blessings

A Light is Missing

A Light is Missing

A light from our  household

is gone

A voice we love is

stilled,

A place is vacant in

our hearts

That never can be

filled.


Our Mother has been gone a year now from this earth and missing her is no easier.  Every day I have the thought, Oh! I’ll call Mother only to realize that’s impossible.  I still can’t believe she is gone, but she is probably sitting there talking to our brother and sister who preceded her.  They are probably having one heck of a time.  The third and fourth below are the ones she is with–Jimmy and Wieda.


Mother and 6, now two of those six are missing from among us.

 

5 sisters from the younger years. Notice the hair and glasses.

 

Back row – Brenda Finch Poss, Jimmy Finch, deceased, Terry Finch; middle row – Connie Finch Mallet, Shirley Dockery Gentry, Amber Finch Wideman; 1st row – Frieda Finch Williamson, Mother

This was at the church when my brother Jimmy was baptized.


Anne Mary Lynch There is no age old enough to lose your Mom. There is no such thing as enough time. She will forgive and forget because that is what Mom’s do but you will remember every second that you were not the best son or daughter like they happened yesterday. Remember to tell her that you love her every chance you get, all she wants is your love.
