I’ve been reading about all of the feasts God set in place for the Israelites as reminders their rescue from slavery, their time of wilderness wandering, His never-ending love, His unlimited forgiveness, His constant presence, and His call to times of rest………..
God knew that in order to never forget the past, there was a great need to celebrate memories in the present and the future.
I’m planning to attend a training Saturday entitled “Celebrate Recovery.”
This Bible-based program helps people who are living with any sort of addiction.
This morning I’m thinking about things I need to celebrate more openly, and I’m wondering how I can become a person who is keenly aware and appreciative of all God has done for me throughout my lifetime.
Today, look back on your life and choose a few milestones that are significant and think of a way to celebrate what God has done for you through these milestones….some will be good memories, some will be difficult memories.
When I think back on Nick’s journey through cancer, I see God’s hand all along the way.
As I think of Nick’s death, my heart breaks over and over again.
Yet, I know that God continues to step with me in every mile of my grief.
We have a God who longs to walk beside us, even carry us, on our happy days and on our sad ones.
Knowing this is true is reason alone to celebrate!
My prayer for you today is that you will look deep inside your soul and ask God to reveal reasons for celebration!
I’d love to hear from you after you’ve given this some thought!

Know this! YOU ARE LOVED!!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
