Lets us not love in word or neither in tongue...

I John 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth.


Often times we find saying "I love you" is so easy to say. We say it in passing, we email it in forwards,"if you love 10 people pass this on". It is so easy to love in our words or with our tongue. The challenge comes in when we love in deed and in truth. In Deed- means action, means we are to do something. Now there is the challenge I can love you with my tongue but don't ask me to disrupt my life, or disrupt my schedule to do something for you because my love does not run in that direction. I just do not have time to help you. I just do not have time to love you in that way. I have a family to tend to, or even I have a job that does not allow me to love you in deed.

If you are unable to love in deed, can you love in truth because the two go hand in hand? "but in deed AND truth."
When you love in deed, then you show your truly love them. (truth) Does it not become a sacrificial love? Where you sacrifice yourself, and your own agenda,to minister to the need?

This weekend we(Maria and I) are heading to San Antonio for a Beth Moore conference, but more so to meet all these women from all over the United States, whom we have loved through the blogging world on Beth Moore's site, who have loved in word, and are about to love in deed.

May Our Lord be with each of you as you travel to this great state of Texas. May our Lord be glorified this weekend as we gather. May we each love in deed and in truth. May we show my daughter what it means to love the "brethern" or this case the Siestas!!!
In Jesus Name Amen!

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
