The Big Three At 63…or…Advice to the 63 Year Old ME

September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 10 Comments

OK...I admit it. Today is my 63rd birthday. This morning I took one look at myself in the mirror and groaned. Truth be told, I was feeling a little sorry … Continue reading The Big Three At 63…or…Advice to the 63 Year Old ME

They caught me off guard, the flowers in the burning pit. -Yellow hopefuls growing there in the refuse pile. . . God gives us gifts. Like bedtime stories (see my blog @typeachecklist), friends...and ashpile flowers. . . Thank you, God, for reminding me you bring beauty from ashes. . . “to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor” - Isaiah 61:2,3 . . #sadness #mourning #despair #comfort #joy #gladness #god #jesus #beauty #praise #righteousness #lord

Sleepy time, my Insta friends! . . Let’s read a special story about trusting God on my blog @typeachecklist! 👉Life rearranges, but God never changes.❤️ . . Nighty night, Insta crew! Let God tuck you into this crazy world. 💤 Fall asleep on His shoulder. ❤️He is always near. He never changes. . . #covid #coping #comfort #god #anxiety #fear #jesus #answers #grateful.

I love to read to my babies, but I’m not reading today. 📚I’m alone. I’m packing books. The little book, “Bedtime Prayers that End with a HUG” fell into my lap. This was on the first page: ❤️”Life rearranges but God Never changes. “❤️ . . I somehow feel God sent this to me. His little girl listened from my bed of confusion. . . It was nice of God to end the day with this hug. Thank you, God. . . “I am the Lord, and I do not change.” - Malachi 3:6 . . #covid #comfort #god #love #corona #coping #life #grateful #bedtime #story #bible #bibleverse

My friend shared these words today. 👉 She is one smart cookie! 🍪 . . We’ve got to LOOK for God sometimes, especially during cloudy days when He’s harder to find. He speaks in subtle ways at times, but HE IS NEAR! . . GOD IS NEAR - NEAR in every excruciating uncertainty. Look up, as my friend would say. . . I’m sure glad my friends are smart cookies during COVID 🍪 🍪 🍪🍪🍪🍪 . . 🍪 Success in this life is not what happens to us but how we respond to what comes our way. . . #covid #corona #coping #hope

I call it “The Cracked Pot’s Cheer.” . . I’ve been known to shout it out...hands on hips...rooting on my cracked-pot self. . . Truth is, this world gets ugly and we’re ill-equipped to handle it. That’s when we’ve got to start the cheer. 2 Corinthians 4: 7-9. . . Hands on hips....jump and scissor kick, if you want. . . Just never forget this is not about OUR strength. It’s all about HIS: 📣 📣 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 👉We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; 👏perplexed, but not in despair; 🎉persecuted, but not abandoned; 🙌struck down, but not destroyed. . . Shout it loud, folks. Shout it loud! . . Love, @typeachecklist (a fellow cracked pot)

I know you feel powerless right now, but you know Who has the power for you. You have lots of love to give as you bravely conquer every challenge and make a difference! . Praying for you! . #covid #prayer #corona #god #strength
