Oh your words are such a sweet blessing ...Dear Joy,<br />Oh your words are such a sweet blessing to me after a rough evening here! God knows the encouragement that we need to keep choosing His way of Holiness, doesn't He? I pray that He will keep my heart open to hear His calling and leading. And I pray that you are being strengthened and refreshed by Him! Love and hugs to you dear friend! xoxoBettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-14228882835735922012017-12-12T13:39:55.994-08:002017-12-12T13:39:55.994-08:00Oh that we would willingly do this: "she chos...Oh that we would willingly do this: "she chose the way of Holiness", no matter what others might think of us or how we may have to release our reputation and standing into the Lord's hands, just as Mary did. These are short yet powerful thoughts here, Bettie. The haiku is lovely too! I'm really being blessed as I read these devotions you are participating in. Thank you for sharing them here. Blessings, love and hugs to you! xoxoJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-71886216564273811722017-12-12T11:50:40.330-08:002017-12-12T11:50:40.330-08:00Dear Trudy, I am grateful that you have been encou...Dear Trudy, I am grateful that you have been encouraged to be still and ponder through these reflections. I am so blessed that Ifeoma encouraged me to come along with her for this journey. It wasn't something that I would have done on my own--but HE does have His way of leading us, doesn't He? And, just like Mary, I too want to be more willing to receive His "grace to follow HIS way!" Love and hugs to you! xoxoBettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-79146819541462717452017-12-12T10:49:39.043-08:002017-12-12T10:49:39.043-08:00Thank you for all these hope-filled Advent reflect...Thank you for all these hope-filled Advent reflections, Bettie. They help me to be still and ponder the miracle of Christ's birth. This is a question that especially touches me and calls to me -"When the Holy One sets before me HIS way of living, will I choose to walk in HIS miracles?" It always amazes me that Mary was more concerned about walking in HIS way, even if it meant she would be persecuted and ostracized by society. May God give us grace to follow HIS way! Love and hugs to you!Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179372917600231306noreply@blogger.com
