Good Morning!
A little chilly out this morning, but not to bad for the last day of November. It is supposed to stay in the low 40's for a few more days and then into winter temps! :o( Winter is the only season I am not really fond of, but I do love watching the kids play in the snow! :o)
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: John 7:37-39: Are you thirsty? Do you need living water from God to flow through every issue you are facing? Pray - ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
The Holy Spirit is that Living Water that flows within - our help! He intercedes for us when we just don't know what to pray. He flows through every issue in our lives and will help us make the right decisions and lead us in the right direction. He will not help or lead, though, unless we ask and allow Him to lead.
Life is "easier" if I allow the Spirit to help and walk with me through every aspect or issue in my life. Streams of Living Water flow within me because I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord! Hallelujah!
How about you?
Have a great day!

Friday, November 25th - Romans 6:23
Good Morning!
I apologize for the posts being a little later than usual, but it is a little different working from down here with my folks. :o) We have another gorgeous day and the Lake is absolutely beautiful. Blue skies, beautiful sunshine and warmer temps - I love it!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Romans 6:23 - Here is something else to be thankful for. Our sinful selves separate us from God; He made a way to have a full relationship with Him.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
Have you ever sat and thought about "eternal life"? What will it be like to live in His presence forever? What will it look like?
I am reminded of the song, "I Can Only Imagine". I love that song and wonder what I will do when I meet the Lord Jesus face to face. What will you do?
I am so thankful for this promise and anxiously await that day!
Have a very beautiful day with family and friends and know that HE has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. Thank Him!

Thursday, November 24th - 1 Chronicles 16:34
Happy Thanksgiving!
What a gorgeous day here at the Lake! It is warm and beautiful sunshine! We had a traditional holiday breakfast for the Oakley's with homemade pecan rolls and bacon! It was delicious and the coffee was great too! :o) We will have a great family day with a big lunch and probably lots of conversation and games.
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: 1 Chronicles 16:34 - On this American holiday, put Christ in it-and put Him first! Give thanks-lead your family in verbally thanking God together.
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34
Our family has a tradition on Thanksgiving that we go around the table before saying grace and tell one thing that we are thankful for in the current year. The kids are included and I am always humbled by what they say. "I am thankful for: my freedom to worship God; the Mommy that God gave me; health and strength in my family; God's answers to our prayers;" and one of my favorites, "the opportunity to tell others about Jesus and to share His love!"
What are you thankful for today?
I am so very thankful for the opportunity to share with each of you in the great ministry of GEMS! I love y'all!

Wednesday, November 23rd - John 6:27-35
Good evening!
Hello from Camdenton, Missouri! The kids and I left early this morning and drove down to Mom and Dad's. It is great to be with family for the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. I thought about and prayed for all of you as I drove today. I like to pray as I drive as it brings such peace and is a great time to just talk to God.
Our verses today are packed with wisdom that requires action.
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: John 6:27-35: Do you have places in you that hunger to feel safe and filled up? Jesus talks about being our all in all. He is all we need.
The things of this life will pass away, but those of God will last forever. If we believe in the one that God sent - JESUS - "the Bread of Life" - we will have life eternal and He will meet all our needs here on earth.
Jesus IS all we need! He cares for us and provides all the we need to live here on earth, this side of heaven and eternity. We may not have everything we want, but God does provide everything we need.
I look forward to the day when I will sit in His presence and praise Him forever! Maranatha!
Have a great evening!

Tuesday, November 22nd - Philippians 4:8
Good Morning!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Philippians 4:8 - Whatever we think about is what we become. This verse provides an excellent list of things to think about....
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." Philippians 4:8
Wow! Pretty good list! If we thought about these things all the time, there would be no time for worry, doubt, etc. Let's try it! Let's take today or tomorrow and concentrate on thinking on these things mentioned in this list. Let's see what kind of difference we notice in our attitudes, our actions and even in how we feel.
I hope you all have a great day!

Monday, November 21st - Isaiah 26:3
Good evening!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Isaiah 26:3 - Peace is given when we keep our minds steadfast. Constantly take your thoughts captive - keep focused and steadfast on God's truth.
"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." Isaiah 26:3
It is easy to stay focused on God / Jesus when everything is going well, but harder when things aren't going so well. It is in those times that He gives us strength and courage and stamina. He cares about everything that goes on with us and He is right there to help or lean on in the good and the bad times!
Will yu lean on God? Be focused and steadfast!
Love y'all!

Sunday, November 20th - Philippians 4:13
Good Afternoon!
Philippians 4:13 - "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Philippians 4:13 (Look at 4:11-13) The "secret" to living in contentment - Do not hold on to what "could be" or what "was". It's possible through God.
I love this whole passage. I like what Paul says in verse 12: "...I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation..." I want to be like that! I want to trust and lean on Christ so much that I am content in any and all situations!
Memorize this verse and repeat it daily! He is with us and He gives us strength.
Have a great Sunday! Please remember our brothers and sisters in Nairobi, Kenya as the Mutimba slums were bull-dozed yesterday and the church, the school and the orphanage buildings are gone as well as all the "homes". Over 30,000 are homeless. Please pray for them and for GOYA Ministries and for Eastview and our partnership. May we listen and go as God directs. For such a time as this we are ready!
Love y'all!
