The Gathering Place Where Family Matters

Not long ago I discovered in her Bible a great outline that she penned and had used it in several of her ladies retreats.. It focused her thoughts on the “Believer’s Spiritual Blessings” based on Ephesians 1:4-14.

I love how the Psalmist expressed it. He is a “very present help in trouble.”

Karen loved working with children and ladies. She often spoke to both groups about the words they spoke and the tone in which they were shared. She knew that the words we speak convey lots of power, both for good or evil.

Listen, I have never met anyone who has lived so well that he or she doesn’t have a regret or two or more along the way. On the other hand there is such a blessing that comes when we come through a particular experience and look back with no regrets. I found something really interesting in Karen’s Bible study journal. At Proverbs 22:1, she shared a little article “Ten Things You Will Never Regret.” She doesn’t know who wrote this, but it meant a lot to her. I am happy to share it with you today.

Last week you chuckled that Karen’s Notes consisted of just two words. She had underlined Psalm 86:12-13 and wrote: “Never forget.” Well friends, you won’t believe this. As I continued looking through her Bible, I discovered several more verses that she had underlined, and of all things, had written two more words.
