Jackie's Journey "An Extraordinary Life!"

“Where is the Life we have lost in living?” T.S. Elliot

 My daughter Kim walked into my bedroom with a list of 15 components for a satisfied life! Now…who wouldn’t want that inventory?   I was really interested in knowing what was on her mind and what was on that list!  She was so enthusiastic and I was REALLY curious…

I knew it was NOT going to be money, a big house with a pool, a Lamborghini or fame, beauty, maybe being 10 years younger or 20-pounds lighter!  No…this daughter doesn’t roll that way.  Sooo…what could those 15 “pieces of life” be?

Let’s take a look:

1.     A Divine life

2.     A Life with Purpose

3.     A Life of Faith

4.     A Life of Continuing Surrender

5.     A Life of Joyful Obedience

6.     A Life of Prayer and Praise

7.     A Life filled with the Holy Spirit

8.     A Life of Total Dependence

9.     A Disciplined Life

10.  A Challenging Life

11.  An Unshakeable Life anchored in God’s Truth; Resting in God’s Promises; Focused on God’s principles; Strengthened by examples in God’s Word

12.  A Fruitful Life Invested in other’s

13.  A Rich Life Saturated in God’s Word

14.  A Life of Love

15.  A Rewarding Life

 “Life is so short that the wood of the cradle rubs up tight

 against the marble of the tomb!”  G.S.

Let’s take a look at our life this week and take caution to focus on

the 15 qualities of this eternal, “extraordinary life”…

These notes Kim shared with me came from a Charles Stanley sermon. 

I’m so glad she shared with me…

Jackie's Journey "It's Christmas Day!"

                         Welcome to our Home...Won't you come in?

It is unlikely that any of you will be reading Blogs this busy Christmas morning.  However, in the event that you are, I would love to just chat a few minutes.

By the time we reach this date in December, we are closing another year and 2018 is lapping at our heels!  Our time, up to this moment, over the last few weeks has been a blur and the beginning of a New Year seems almost inviting!  If we can just get through the next few days and events…

Many of you will be hastily pulling together and preparing a feast for family in your home or packing for a long drive or an aiport to join family and friends far away.  Some of you will be spending Christmas alone and some from a hospital bed; others will be generously serving food in shelters where hope and Christmas is wrapped in pain and difficulty.  Some of you are stressed; others, experiencing the “calm before the storm”.  Whatever your circumstance, this particular day is overflowing with the fulfilled promise of a Savior who entered time and space to meet us all just where we are…

Won’t you consider the reason for His coming and

the tremendous sacrifice and provision He made on our behalf?

We want to thank you for welcoming the message of The Princess Parable Series into your homes and hearts.  We have been so blessed by your response to the parable stories our five Princesses bring to your little princesses.  Last year, about this time, we released “A Royal Christmas to Remember”.  It has been a joy to be able to release our two newest books this year… “Daughter’s of the King Devotional” and “Princess Prayers”.

Join our five princesses this holiday season as they learn that giving is better than receiving

and that true joy comes from losing their lives serving others...! 

We look forward to this coming year with you and pray God’s richest blessing on you and yours…

Merry Christmas
