1-27-2025 🕊️ Morning Prayers

🕊️ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

But wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gently, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and hypocrisy.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.🕊️

James 3:16-18

Good morning Father!

Thank you for this day!

Thank you for my life!

Thank you for all the blessings you rain on me and my family each day. Thank you for watching over us and keeping us safe! May your light shine in and through me and my family this day, in all we say and do!

Lord, as I go about my day, help me to be watching for those who need a healing word. Help me to listen to the needs being expressed around me. At work or in leisure, guide me to listen to what individuals are saying beneath the conversation. Is their life difficult right now? Are they excited about a recent joyful event?

Every conversation I have with another person is important! Help me oh Lord, to speak words of encouragement and love, in the exchange of friendly banter or deep discussion about faith and life…they all matter, because these connect me with other beings created in Your image.

Remind me oh Lord, to be an encourager, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

It’s a New Beginning

11-28-2023

Just under a week ago I posted I will begin posting regularly. My motivation to share online is due in part, to my continued personal conviction and also the kind words of encouragement from NJE, a close friend, to share my stories.

I have put off posting on my blog, as a regularly scheduled endeavor, until I felt I had all the pieces I needed, now firmly in place.

This is not a complete list but to provide a window in my world, I now have my new awesome MacBook Pro laptop, a new 4 TB external drive with a crazy fast transfer rate required for transferring videos directly from my drone, I’ve been refreshing my use of Adobe software, I.e. Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premier, and having my local and cloud data storage infrastructure, my recording format I.e. Apple ProRes for all my visual story formats regardless if in text, photos, and videos.

~~~

My primary consideration in my writings is to include in each message or story, some spiritual underlying quality or feel, but not in a judging or condescending way.

~~~

My personal goal is for my “Legacy writings” or stories, to be an encouraging message to my family, friends and the public, with a loving kindness, one which will be remembered and retold or visited many years after I am gone.

~~~

Father God, I’m sitting at my desk, lift my hands and heart to you this day, my thoughts and prayers for your Holy Spirit to guide me in each message posted, so as to be a blessing, with a clarity of conscience. I pray each day be a strong foundation on which I plan to build on for each consecutive post. My life is in your hands Lord. I pray you mold me and make me to be an instrument you may use to shine your light and love, in Jesus’ name Amen!
