A NEW START TO THE WEEK

Well, it is Monday morning a "new start" to the work week. Do you ever feel as though all you ever do is work, work, work? I know I do. But, then I stop to think of all the ones who have no job.
Then I'm thankful for the work God has given me. I think of all the ones who wish they were physically able to work...then I'm thankful for my health to work. I think of the homeless and less fortunate...and once again...I'm thankful all that God has provided me ... through the efforts of my work. Maybe....work, work and more work is not so bad after all? Yes, I am glad for the "new start" to another work week!

A Start To A New Relationship

I seems as if in our world today that people take relationships so flippantly. They fall in love and our of love so easily. Because of my back ground, I knew too well how destructive that can be on children. I didn't want that...and was not looking to be married. But, my new Father, knew what I needed (even when I did not). He brought into my life this man who was determined to win me over. Through God's leadership and loving patience I succumbed! And thus started this new relationship called marriage. Love grows and changes through the years. It starts as new, exciting and even adventurous. Then when cared for, tended to and guarded it grows into a deep, abiding,
rich, stable and yes...still exciting and adventurous. Maybe what was new and even unsure becomes comfortable and reliable. But, it doesn't happen by accident. It is a chosen path. All of this is a picture of our relationship with God. It to is a chosen path .... one that needs to be cared for and tended to and guarded! I discovered all things "worth" keeping are "worth" the effort!

Sundays Are A New Start?

I love Sundays! We get to meet with God in His house with other believers. It is a joy to see the faces of the little ones so excited to hear about Jesus. Their wonder at what He does is refreshing! After a day of hearing and being with God I always feel so refreshed...as if I had just taken a refreshing shower. Then I'm ready for a new start and a new week. I know we can have that every day...but, there is just something about meeting him with other believers that is special. Isn't is curious that I never felt that way until that new start at camp...MY FIRST SHOWER....you might say. The first one washed my sins away and gave me an eternal home in heaven. The rest are as they say "foot baths". Never the less.....oh so refreshing!

The Starting Place

Tomorrow we leave for camp. The place where my life started. I was lost and going no where before I had a new start. A preacher presumed to tell all who would listen, that we were lost and going to hell. As he told what hell would be like, I realized that was me. I was a sinner who deserved hell! Then I discovered that God loved me so much ...He sent his son to die for me....that I could have the choice to have a new start in Him. A choice we all must make...to continue on the path to hell....or make a new start and choose salvation. I made the right choice one evening at camp ( July 27, 1976). I'm praying that others this week will choose a new start.
I started this blog thinking of new starts. As I said there are many in my life...but, we can all have a new start of salvation, a new start in our marriages, our walk with Christ, our relationships with our children. We just have to dare to step out of our comfort zones and accept what Christ has to offer...a new start.

another new Start

Here is another new start....a blog. I have been reading blogs of others and enjoying them. Then I decided it's time for me to start one. It seems as if life is full of new starts! I have had many. I'm so glad and thankful that we can have new starts. Of course, the best one is a new start in Christ.
Thus, my title..."A Daughter To The King". I didn't have much of an earthly father. But, my heavenly father has more than made up for that! My earthly father didn't want or love me. But, my heavenly Father wanted me so much He died for me. I am truly blessed to have been adopted by the King! More on this later...this is a good start.
