Imparting Grace: Grace at Home No. 68

May my heart see . . . a blog? What?

My sister suggested years ago for me to start a blog. “A what?”, I said. Well, thank you, Cindy, for your suggestion – I think I’m gonna love this ! And I hope you do too. I want to share what my heart has “seen” and is learning through God’s Word and I want to hear from you too. The first time I EVER went to Bible study was when my “baby” was in an infant seat. I remember it vividly. (He’s 25 now BTW) My step-mom invited me; she was the leader. I don’t know if I would have went to a study where I didn’t know A SOUL – maybe. Anyway, I have been going to a weekly study since then regularly and LOVE IT, absolutely love it! When scripture says “ open the eyes of my heart, Lord” – what do you think that means? Hearts don’t have eyes, I mean literally they don’t. My step-mom used to say, “I know it in here (pointing to her brain) but I now know it in HERE (pointing to her heart). There’s a differ...

Happy New Year! It’s a new year, a new beginning – the old is gone, the new has come! YIPEE! Not that 2012 was so awful – but it’s good to start afresh, don’t you think? Get rid of some old “bad” habits, put on some new “good” ones. My husband and I have promised each other we are not going to be “crabby” with each other anymore. I am horrible! We will try and talk nicely to each other - that alone will be a miraculous feat!! Sometimes, I just want to take back immediately what I just said – ever want to do that? At my office, my new cubby partner taught me a wonderful keystroke last year that I told her has “spiritual” meaning. Seriously! ctrl-Z. Ever use it? It un-do’s. Yep – whatever you type wrong or don’t mean to do – it undoes it. Ingenuous! I use it all the time now. (I know – I’m slow!) What on earth could be the spiritual meaning of ctrl-Z? Hmmm...

Victory - a habit.

My heart is heavy today – full of despair. A beautiful woman, I love and thank God for, with an abuse problem, is in ICU. While high on heroin, she drove her car into a parked semi. What???????????!!!! Let’s just sit on that for a while. My despair is NOTHING compared to her despair – her children’s despair. Her parents’ despair. This abuse problem has been around for years. That’s who she is . . . “an addict” (her words). Really? I have never been addicted to drugs so I don’t understand this addiction, but I have known other “addictions” – I have felt helpless – I have labeled myself “defeated”. Hopeless. I am so sick and tired of Satan and his destruction. I have had it. Why do we give him so much power? He delights in this . . . . this darkness. No more. I claim in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ – LEAVE THIS WOMAN ALONE! I found a great quo...
