The Power of Prayer in a Marriage!
The power of Prayer in a Marriage!
As a married couple, the most important thing to do is allowing
Christ to be the head of the home,
and in doing so, it is VITAL to have an “active” prayer life together as husband and wife.
NOTE: Ladies, the Bible tells us that if we are married,
the husband is the head of the home UNDER Christ!
Prayer is a way of communicating with God through The Holy Spirit
And seeking guidance, support, and strength.
It can be a powerful tool for coping with stress, anxiety, and difficult situations.
Here are 10 Benefits of a Couple who Prays Together!

There is Life in the Vine!
There is Life in The Vine: “The Fruit Of A Blessed Marriage!”
The following is not a rhyming poem,
But it is a “Free Verse Poem”
It‘s called, “There is Life in The Vine: The Fruit of a Blessed Marriage”
The Life of your Marriage is in the Vine!
Jesus Christ is the Vine.
The Fruit of the Vine is The Fruit of The Spirit!
If you want to have a Blessed marriage,
Allow Christ to be the center of your home.
When you focus on The Fruit of The Spirit
And how your marriage can be as Sweet as any fruit,
Then you will try the best you can
To do whatever it takes
To have a Christ-centered home
That reflects the Blessing of your Marriage!
If you totally commit your Marriage to Christ,
The “Fruit” of The Spirit will open
New doors of Blessings to all
Who enter into YOUR doors
And will add even more
Blessings to your Marriage.
Living in the Fruit of the Spirit
Means to develop the fruit of The Spirit in one's life,
Which is a process that involves cooperating with God
And allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us into Christ-likeness.
The fruit of The Spirit is a set of attributes that include:
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control.
Galatians 5:22-23
”But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.”
Are the attribute of these fruits evident in your life? It is actually ONE FRUIT! So, if you have one fruit, then you have them all. Some may be more obvious in your life, but you cannot “pick and choose” which fruit you can exhibit. It is called, “The FRUIT of The Spirit”! NOT FRUITS of The Spirit!
If you are lacking in one, you need to pray and ask God to reveal to you
How you can develop ALL The Fruit of The Spirit.
My Love and I Keep the Flame Burning!
My Love and I Keep the Flame Burning!
My Love and I have many sweet memories!
They make me smile and weak in my knees!
Hardships have come our way,
But by Faith, we know they won’t stay!
For Jehovah God is the only One
Who has given us His only Son!
With that knowledge to bring us comfort,
We can boldly make a gallant effort,
We Want to Bring God Glory in all that we do,
And be the Example that Others may Pursue!
It has been our #1 Rule
To Stay Away from Words that are Cruel!
“Let NOT the sun go down upon our Wrath”.
So, Peace has been our Redeeming Path!
Love like Christ, even when you’re mad,
And TRUE LOVE will keep You Glad!
I say to you, “Happy Marriage to Us All!
Keep the Flame burning and You Won’t Fall!”

Glistening Snow!
Glistening Snow!
Oh, how beautiful
Is the white glistening snow,
It makes the green trees turn white
And bow down low.
It's like a message
That the Angels send down to earth,
Reminding us all,
Of the Christ Child's Birth!
This poem is a part of a story that I wrote for my 5th-grade teacher and she had her younger grade class turn it into a book. I have that book to this day.
The Gift of Gratitude
The Gift of Gratitude!
Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can shift our perspective and help us find joy in even the smallest things. By cultivating a sense of gratitude, we can increase our overall happiness and well-being.
Practicing gratitude can lead to more of what you have, and can even attract Miracles. A grateful heart holds no trauma from past hurts or disappointments. The Bible mentions gratefulness many times.
Psalm 100:3a (AMP)”Know and fully recognize with gratitude that The LORD Himself is God!”
Gratitude is a special gift from God that brings happiness.
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, sometimes it's too easy to block out the details of the day, forgetting that each and every day holds precious gifts. From the air we breathe to the friendships we hold close, there is always something to be thankful for.
It’s not just on Thanksgiving Day that we should be grateful and show that appreciation to others. “Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.” - Aesop
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” – William Arthur Ward
Gratitude on the deepest level is a reflection, acknowledgment, and acceptance of our worth – to God or other people!
The gift of gratitude is something we can practice and cultivate to lead to a greater sense of happiness. Gratitude is meant to be shared.
God Bless You As You Have A Heart Of Gratitude!
“Join Me There”
“Join Me There”
When Life is O’er and We Stand Before God,
I want to hear the words, “You’ve lived a Life well trod!”
Will you be there someday to join me?
Shall we together stroll those streets with glee?
Life is sweet when Christ is center.
But WITHOUT Him, Heaven’s Gates you will not enter!
Will I see you on the other side?
Please be there, I’ll be inside,
Waiting by my Jesus to see your lovely face.
After all, it’s because of HIS Amazing Grace.
The joy of walking on streets of Gold,
Oh what wonders we’ll behold!!
My Husband, Daughters, and Sons, you see
Are making their choice for eternity.
My dear Grandchildren, please live for God each day.
I desire to have it no other way.
If I have been a light to you,
I long for you to make it through.
I pray for ALL my Family
And desire to be with them eternally!
Make the choice to enter in,
Don’t be deceived because of sin.
I want to share the joys forever
In that home beyond Life’s River.
So, if I go before you do,
Know I’ll be waiting there for you.
Yet, if you leave this life before me,
Make sure your heart has been made ready.
Second chances will be no more,
So secure a place on Heavens shore.
Praying now that we shall meet,
And walk together on that Golden Street!
