My Greatest Joy

My Greatest Joy .. Is to share my heart! My heart is filled with the Love of God. I feel and feel deeply. I write to try to express the fullness of my thoughts .. they run so deep .. Sharing the love in my heart is my Greatest Joy.. I have not always written but I have always shared the love in my heart with others. I always thought my daughter "Jamie" would be the writer of the family .. and she probably is. Me I just write what comes to mind. Had it not been for Ms Peggy introducing me to Daniel D. I probably would have never begun to write. I am thankful to both of you .. for a new opportunity to share my love. And because of your faithfulness unto God.. Here I sit 10 years later .. I have just finished my first book, with all of those messages.. that took 3 years before the writing began to teach.. and then years to put into words.. and even more to put into this book. Life does not happen over night ..lol
It is my Greatest Joy .. to do my best to share the Love of God with each little girl and each little boy. Both big and small Jesus is here for us all. I believe my messages are for the heart.. of the child inside every adult ..

Note: 10/28/2010 .. While getting a pedicure I met a woman .. I did not know..(Therese?) We began speaking about many things.. She works as a counselor .. And had worked with the prison system.. she told me the type of book I wrote is what prison counselors are looking for.. We talked about how my book would be a great tool for a family time .. between prisoners and their children ...

Note: 11/07/2010 After attending a Revival and learning about Adullam House a home for children whose parents are in prison .. The Lord began to confirm what he had been speaking to my heart about reaching families.. with my book.. And how it can be used for Prison Ministry .. for Family Time ..

11/18/2010 Day ~8 ~ Desolate heart~Psalm 68:6 (Amplified Bible)6God places the solitary in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

How awesome is this scripture to me.. Because the Lord put on my heart a week ago to branch out m...y Candy Ministry using the tools He has given me ... LisaMe!
To include the children of those in prison .. (not just a physical prison but any form of prison) to form a "Bridge Mix" to help bridge the gap of communication and Love from the Father above... Not all children experience love.. or get to... experience the Love of God.. from those of us who have Love.. we need to reach out ..
Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps

Father God.. I thank you for confirmation... with your word... I pray you continue to direct my steps.. and send those who are to offer helps .. Bless the fruits of this mission to feed the masses with Love that only can be done through your son ... In Jesus Name.. Amen ..

12/2/2010 Thankful Heart ~ Father God you have sent confirmation, encouragement and love through friends.. And even this morning Stacey going on a job interview.. that will change the course of his life .. We have been praying for new situations and new opportunities for awhile now.. Today is the day for changed.. And we feel Thankfulness in our hearts .. knowing God hears our prayers.. and knows when and where we need to be .. We are continuing to STEP forward with the ministry that is in our hearts.. to minister to All of God;s children..no matter the age.. we need to be a blessing.. sometimes holding their hands.. as we show the Father's love... leading them into a Relationship with Jesus the son....

12/6/2010 Joyful Heart ~ My Joy is writing.. what is in my heart.. and what is in my heart is filled with God and His great love for me .. My life is not always a happy one.. but always joyful in the Lord.. The Joy of the Lord is my strength .. it is in Him and through Him that I live and move and have my being ... without Him.. I am nothing .. I continue to move forward the the Bridge Mix .. baby steps daily .. waiting and trusting in God.. I can not do this without Him .. I am not demanding anything of God.. Just faithfully walking where He has called me .. All I can say is I am willing .. Lord .. It brings great Joy to my heart to even think He would use someone like me ... A willing heart is all He needs.. Amen ..

1/18/2011 .. Our grandchildren came to visit .. We could not bring them back into the environment they were living in ... Life Changes and Challenges for all of us has begun ... there is no turning back from this one ... Father God give us the strength that we need .. show us the way ...

3/25/2011 .. Stacey's mother is going back to Florida .. Taking our home back .. in every way ..

Woo Hoo .. I am Ready to Visit You!

Ready for a Road Trip

My Heart For Today

I am following God
Who continues to shine
through the rainbow and stars
to the dreams of my heart ..
Sometimes I get blinded by the clouds
with doubts trying to disguise
People who think they are wise
But I must stay focused
and seek with my heart not my eyes
God is God in all that I do ..
My heart is always to remain true
To the Lord of my heart
And Jesus it is you ...
The Lover of my soul
Love LisaMe!
More than a sister friend

Note to self: I got inspired.. with the heart Ester sent me on facebook, it had a rainbow, stars, and clouds ...
Update.. 10/1/2001 ~ Added the photo.. that was sent to me .. by Carolyn Smith .. friend on facebook amazing how well it fits... and how these words written .. continue to speak .. to my heart within

My heart is sad ..

Yes.. Jesus..

I saw Judas...

and felt his bitter kiss ...

I am friends with Peter

and experienced his denial .. too ..

Oh My Lord; I know it happened to you ..

Thomas has visited

and I have heard his doubts

Oh My Lord I am finding out

Just what Ministry is

Giving and giving until it hurts

and yet still people missed your line in the dirt

You who have no sin; throw that first stone

Jesus did you feel this alone

Your work is here to be done

To share of your Love; the gift of your Son

Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit

Who comes to rest..

ever so gently upon my chest

Bringing me love, joy and peace

I hear it Lord... long-suffering, too

kindness, goodness, faithfulness

gentleness, (too)
self-control .. (Help me Lord I understand)

when the Holy Spirit is through

We will have learned all that we are supposed to do ..

Not questioning why ... but ever thankful

of being pressed through ...

Because that.. my Lord.. is when I am closest to You!

Amen!

Love LisaMe! your sister friend ...

Galatians 5:22, 23

Note to self: When I do not know.. just what to do.. I wait and allowing God to put the pieces.. in place ... Even now he is showing me my words .. that I wrote .. "Life is full of all kinds of trials but when faced with a friend.. it is easier to smile" .. God has a way .. of making things come out ... lol .. I so love God... I know.. He has a perfect plan ...This was just what I needed ... to know.. He will put the pieces in place.. and His will ... Will be completed in my life ... it doesn't matter what people say .. because even "IF" I were perfect.. they would find fault .. didn't they with Jesus ...I am to keep my eyes... on God.. and on His plan/will for my life.. waiting .. moment by moment.. day by day .. for the things to unfold ... and fall into place .. and ... I will .. do the best of my ability ... to do what He asks me and do it the way He asks me ... I can not please.. man .. man .. will never.. know.. how real God is to me.. or my Great Love for Him .. It is my desire .. to please Him ... above all else... Thank you for seeing my heart ..

Marriage

One Man and One Woman

On the edge of life

A Husband take's a wife

To walk down the highway called life

Hand and hand for their lifes to expand

This one Woman and This one Man

Trust is what I see you do

The Man holding on to you

When you could easily slip off the edge of that cliff

He sweeps you off your feet to give you a lift

Love is shared betweed the pair

It is more than a feeling that is in the air

It is the inner strength that is shared between the two

A Circle of hope that leads you to faith

Faith is believing: in things that you cannot see

Trust has to be shared

The Man brings courage and strength

While The Woman brings beauty and heart

May God provide for you a Beautiful Life

As you embark upon this Journey

Love, LisaMe!

Note to self: While looking at pictures of my nieces wedding .. I got inspired .. to write this inspiration ...

And so it Lives on.. to wish others Happy Birthday too! So Be blessed this is from the Lord to YOU!

Smile is All I Can Do

:~) is all I can do ..

I can not even imagine

Spending time at a theme part with my grand's

by the time they take Gram-Me by the hand

Showing me the things in their room

This Gram-Me is almost through ..lol

Holding babies .. Until I think my arm might break

Waiting for naps .. for time to escape .. lol

Then they are up .. with renewed energy

Finding something else for Gram-Me to see

A push on a swing .. a ride on a bike

Rushing ever forward .. never thinking twice

Is Gram-Me still there

Only waiting to play and wanting to share

All of the things they miss everyday

When Gram-Me is not with them to play

Love your sister friend.. LisaMe! .. aka . Gram-Me!

Note to self: .. Written after reading of an adventure.. from a friend.. spending time at Disney with her grandchildren .. Thanks NannyD swollenFeet ..

Paradise Island By: LisaMe!

What If
I were stranded on a deserted island
With no cell phone or computer
No doubt I would miss my family and friends
I would miss hearing their voices
And miss seeing their faces
That fill; the void of empty spaces; in my life
But I would have with me
All of my memories of both; the good times and the bad
And I would have with me; the scriptures
I have memorized throughout my life
I would have my thoughts and prayers
My love for God would still be there
So how alone would I really be
You all would still be there with me
I course I will be your friend..
I would have it no other way
Because with you; I love to laugh and love to play
I am learning so many things along life's way
With these silly games most think is just for play
Here I enter into another game
Knowing God is bringing me here
To teach me another life lesson

So here goes

Note to self .. Started playing Paradise Island .. who will meet there .. One thing I know.. is God is already there ....

9/6/2010
Update .. I haven't played a game in quite a while.. been busy writing .. I love the lessons God teaches me .. through every experience He lead me to and carry's me through ...

Fishy Fishy

Love the fish ... love you

And all the things.. you say so true

What a wonderful Gift God gave

When He sent a friend like You!

Love .. LisaMe

Note: while.. visiting a friends.. facebook page.. she had a photo of a fish as her profile picture.. Got inspired.. and so I write...lol

To the Mother in Love

This Year We’re Happy to Say
In Person
Happy Mother’s Day

We are glad you are here
And decided to stay
We would have it
No other way

This is your home
It’s More than just a house
Even if it is not big enough for a mouse
Giggle .. giggle
We do have to be careful when we stretch and wiggle
Giggle .. giggle

It’s a place for you
To come and go
A place you can call your own
To be with your family and friends
Until your journey comes to an end

After all
Home is where the heart is at

We are so blessed to have you
In our Hearts and in our Home

We Bless you on this Mother’s Day
We would have it
No other way

So Happy Mother’s Day
My Dear
We pray you enjoy
Many more years

Know that we are here for you
To love and encourage you
Stacey and Lisa

Note: This is the poem for my Mother in Love.. my husband's mother.. who came to live with us.. End of Jan 09 ... Her card had to heart people on the front.. I wanted her to feel the love.. we have for her.. as well as experience it.. She will be 85 this summer.. We share the same birthday.. 6-10

My Hat’s Off To You!

Sending you Butterfly Kisses

And Watering cans
Angels with wings holding flowers in their hands

I saw this card and thought of you
Of all the crops you planted and grew
And of how your life is slowing down
Such a laborer no one has found

You have worked hard your whole life through
Always putting others in front of you
Never a task did you delay
Always willing to work when others would play

Now it is time
To sit back and see
The Harvest the Lord has given to thee..

The Beautiful Garden
Of Life’s Great Reward
Your Children are grown
Some of your grand children too
And God has Blessed you
With Great Grandchildren Too

Enjoy your Family
On this Mother’s Day
And know that you are loved
In a very Special Way

I Love you
Your Daughter
LisaMe!

Note: My Mother's Day poem to my Mother .. Sent with a bird house .. the poem was written on pink and white butterfly paper .. the card.. had gardening tools, a straw hat, a watering can and packages of seeds.. with flowers in bloom.. It reminded me of her..

And Important to know..

God is Faithful .. when we plant our Dreams.. they grow up into realities

Ecclesiastes 3

New King James Version (NKJV)

Everything Has Its Time

3 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven

Peace Be Still

"Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Hush, be still.' And it became perfectly calm."
(Mark 4:39)

As we wait upon the Father's will
In all we say
and all we do

I check my heart..
Right here with you
Trusting God with all I do
And all my thoughts
concerning you

Note:
(checking my own heart with the Lord while reading His word)
(Psalms 115:1 All Honor Glory and Praise belongs to the Lord.. along with all things of this world)
(my thoughts concerning.. family/friends)

Note to Self: Received this scripture.. (Mark 4:39) with the following.. comment..( How to Keep Your Faith in a World of Chaos) from Breaking News.. this is how it speaks to me..
Your sister friend... LisaMe!

In the stillness

There are times
in the stillness
of silence
the most is spoken...

Remember
God knows our hearts
and hears our prayers
before they are whispered ..
He is Already there...

Love your sister friend...
LisaMe!

Psalm 34:17
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Note: 10-7-2010 .. This continues to speak... If you are reading this.. Know you are not alone.. God is with you and hears your cries... in the darkness of night .. Help is already on it's way .. It brings to mind.. about the little donkey that was tied up and bound .. thinking it's life had no purpose.. Jesus sent word that is the one He wanted to ride.. that Palm Sunday ... Propchey fufilled.. Your time is coming ..

Zechariah 9:9 (New King James Version)


The Coming King
9 “ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.


Matthew 21

The Triumphal Entry
1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage,[a] at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, sayingJesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,

“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion;

see, your king is coming,

seated on a donkey’s colt.”



Note: If you feel tied up and bound in life.. Know that God has a plan for you .. That is why Jesus was sent .. to free us from Bondage... Keep your eye focused on Him ... this was preached in a message in 1999 and I never forgot.. it .. it is a message of Hope... deliverance.. and A Promise that will come.. just keep your eyes on Him...

Note:2-21-09 Written after reading a friends.. journal about the stillness of the early morning in her house.. when everyone else is asleep.. of her secret cries out to God.. for His understanding and help ..

Note to self: God always comes to the rescue.. He is the Victory .. It is not in our time.. or in our way.. but He always shows up.. either way.. He is there in the midst of your storm .. in the midst of your pain.. He could be sunshine or He could be rain.. either way.. Continue to sing His Praise.. He is your Victory .. I share this with you... As I continue to remind myself.. His will is on the way .. These things have come to pass not to stay .. LisaMe!

Victory is won

My Victory is won
The battle is overcome..
Because He is...
I have nothing to do
But to continue to Stand ..
Praying as God possess the land ..
Remembering, the Battle is His..
I will trust and obey as long as I live...
Remembering the covenant, that was promised for me ..
At three words satan has to flee..
Knowing he has to get behind me...
Gives me courage and Joy for the day ..
Knowing my Savior .. has made a way.. Amen!

Note to self: I found this jewel last night.. I wrote it on 10-6-08 in response to a friend .. It applies for today .. I am Working on continuing to hear God and do what He says .. trying to keep my focus on His will not my wants.. Amen! My friends continue to be an inspiration!
I Love writing things from my heart ... LisaMe!

Life is a Journey

God is with you 
and 
Has not strayed

I understand 
How lonely 
Life can feel
When going through 
Things that are so surreal
We do not always understand the reasons
Why

But know that God .. is not sitting idly by 
He hears each prayer

And 
Hears every cry 
He allows us weakness

To depend 
More on Him

It's ok 
To cry my friend

We never truly understand 
Until 
The battle's end 

How our weakness 
Turns into strength
Because 
We learn 
How to trust 
In Him 

I can say this 
Because 
I have been 
Where you are

Know 
That I am praying for you
Love LisaMe, 
Your sister friend

Note: 12/5/2014 .. This was written 5 yrs ago Just before our grandchildren came to live with us.. Who could have know the Journey .. this would be ..5 is the number for Grace.. Father God thank you for all of the Grace you have given unto to me .. And allowed me to give it to others .. You are my precious gift in 
This Journey of Life

Thank you, Tois Talyor.. Because  Many years ago, (1994) Because of you I learned how to clean out my spiritual closet .. And to know that it would be a huge mess.. but once reorganized .. my life would be neatly organized and prioritized and put in boxes with labels back on the shelf .. It gets easier each time going through life's little messes.. Even the Big ones .. knowing I can throw out bad decisions.. and start fresh and new .. Knowing God gives us Grace .. His free gift for all of you .. Praying is a lot of what I do .. while writing inspirations to me and to you .. Praying you have a Beautiful Blessed Day while considering what you need to throw out today .. Remember we can never out give God.. offer up a pray for others.. Give fforgiveness where it is do .. And Remember it all starts with YOU ... Love .. LisaMe!
