Staying on the Narrow Path ~~ by TalkerCat

A Far Better Place

2010-02-24T12:22:00.000-08:00

Having suffered greatly, first from cancer, and then from the grueling medical regimen - pastor Dan Cummings was tired. After 2 weeks of treatment in Texas, he was looking forward to going back home to Michigan. In a post on his blog he wrote: "Today is far better ... amazing what some hydration will do. Will fly home on the weekend to continue treatment home."

Dan did return to Michigan, but several days later, his journey on earth ended. He went home to be with his God ~ whom he loved with every bit of his weakened body but might spirit.

When I reviewed his blog a few days later, his words "Today is far better" jumped out at me. I smiled through my tears in the knowledge that Dan was now experiencing a life that is truly "far better" (Phil. 1:23).

Someday we who claim the name of Jesus will also go to that place where there is "no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying." It's a place where there is no more pain and where a loving Father promises to "wipe away every tear from {our} eyes" (Rev. 21:4).

The life we have here isn't all there is. There is a far,far better place that Jesus is preparing for those who love Him (John 14:2-3)

"When our life on earth has ended we will feel God's warm embrace; there will be no pain or sorrow in that far, far better place."

My Heavenly Father

2009-07-02T15:56:00.000-07:00

I'm extremely (perhaps unusually) close to my mother and sibling.

My biological father abandoned us when I was four years old -

leaving my mother with three babies.

She was 19.

No one would have blamed her; or even thought anything of it,

if she had given us up for adoption.

But she chose to raise all of us on her own.

Even though she often flew by the seat of her pants, she was a loving, doting mother.

We never wanted for anything' everyone except us knew we were poor.

During the 60's and 70's society was knee deep in 'free love' ....

drugs, sex and rock & roll was the mantra of the flower children.

Mom was young then, in her 20's, and did her share of 'partying'

however, she never lost sight of her first priority - her children.

Never did she neglect us in any way, she was there to tuck us in bed at night

and there when we awoke in the mornings.

Christmas and birthdays were always extravagant affairs.

It wasn't until I was older I realized what she went through to make sure we had it all.

Anything from collecting soda bottles to saving change,

to getting a small loan which she would pay off bit by bit,

until the next year when she would do it all over again.

Like I said, we never knew were were poor.

As the years went by, we all had Mom to rely on -

she's always a soft place to fall.

We're all now in our 40's and Mom is still our greatest gift.

We're all Christians and Honor our Mother

and our Father who died in December, 2003 without any of us really knowing him.

Mom has always been Dad too.

So now I've come to the place in my spiritual growth

where I've learned I was formed for God's family.

I was born into God's family by a second birth.

When I placed my faith in Christ, God became my Father,

other believers became my brothers and sisters,

and the church became my spiritual family. The family of God.

Every human being was created by God but not everyone is a child of God.

I became part of my human family by my first birth;

but now I'm a member of God's family by my second.

God has given me the privilege of being born again

so I'm now a members of His own family.

My spiritual family is even more important than my physical one

because it lasts forever.

My family on Earth is a wonderful gift from God,

but they are temporary and fragile, broken by divorce,

distance, growing old and, inevitably, death.

On the other hand, my spiritual family - my relationship to other believers

- will continue throughout eternity.

It is a much stronger union, a more permanent bond, than blood relationships.

When I think of the wisdom and scope of His plan I fall down on my knees and

thank the Father of all,

some of them already in Heaven

and some down here on Earth.

A a child of God I get to share in the family fortune.

Here on Earth I am given the riches of His Grace ... Kindness ...

Patience ... Glory ... Wisdom ... Power ... and Mercy.

But in eternity I will inherit even more.

What a rich and glorious inheritance He has given to me, his daughter!

First, I'll get to be with God forever.

Second, I'll be completely changed to be like Christ.

Third, I'll be freed from all pain, death and suffering.

Fourth, I'll be rewarded and reassigned my position of service.

Fifth, I'll get to share in Christ's glory.

What an inheritance!

I am far richer than I ever thought I was. God has reserved a priceless inheritance for me. It is kept in Heaven, pure and undefiled, beyond reach and change of decay.

No one can take it from me.

Jesus and the people He makes holy all belong to the same family.

That is why He isn't ashamed to call them His brothers and sisters ....

that's hard to wrap my mind around!

I'm part of God's family and because Jesus made me holy,

GOD IS PROUD OF ME!

Being included in God's family has no higher honor or privilege.

Nothing even comes close;

so if ever you feel unimportant, unloved or insecure,

remember to Whom you belong.

" ... God is the One who made all things, and all things are for His glory. He wanted to have many children to share His glory ... " Heb 2:10

" ... See how very much our Heavenly Father loves us, for He allows us to be called His children ... " 1 John 3:1

"Never Can Say Goodbye"

2009-06-26T10:17:00.000-07:00

It takes a little darkness to see the stars, and a whole lifetime to reach them;
Michael's star now shines bright from Heaven .. . . A man when he was a boy; a boy when he was a man. Loved by the world; kings, queens, princesses and jesters alike .... breaking all barriers - "it don't matter if you're black or white" I was shocked to hear of his passing; it was as if a part of me went with him, and while it's hard to understand why those we love are taken from us, I find comfort in knowing he's in the arms of Jesus.

Goodbye for now beloved Michael Jackson. Memories are the legacy of God's love.

Role Models

2009-06-19T12:16:00.000-07:00

From "Our Daily Bread" July, 2009

During a summer of international sports scandals involving gambling and substance abuse, two athletes were applauded for their character as much as their professional accomplishments. A record crowd of 75,000 cheered Cal Ripkin Jr. and Tony Gwynn during their 2007 induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. "Whether we like it or not," Ripkin said, "as big leaguers, we are role models. The only questions is, will it be positive or will it be negative?" Gwynn echoed the sentiment: "There's more than just playing the game of baseball ... You're responsible, you've got to make good decisions and show others how things are supposed to be done"

Every day people are watching us. As followers of Christ, we are guided by Paul's challenge to "become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world" (Phil. 2:15) Compromise causes others to become disillusioned, while character fosters hope. As the life of our Savior flows out from us, we can encourage others and point them to Him.

What kind of role model will we be for someone watching today? "TalkerCat"

Getting Involved

2009-06-17T11:56:00.000-07:00

"Isn't anyone going to help that poor guy?!" My mother exclaimed as she realized what had been holding up traffic. A old man lay sprawled against a curb, his wheelchair toppled over as vehicles simply drove around him. Mama turned on the emergency flashers as my sister jumped from the car and to the man's side. My mother and sister got involved as the Samaritan man did in Jesus' story in Luke 10. Like him, they overcame any reluctance they might have had to reach out to a man in distress.

The Samaritan also had to overcome racial and cultural prejudice. The people we would have expected to help showed indifference to the injured man's plight. It's easy to find a reason not to get involved. Busyness, indifference, and fear often top the list. Yet as we seek to follow our Lord more faithfully we become more aware of opportunities to show the kind of compassion He showed.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus commended the man who had acted out of compassion even though it was inconvenient, difficult and costly to do so. Then to us He says "Go and do likewise" (Luke 10:37)

The Lord is Gracious and full of compassion (Psalm 111:4)

Choices

2009-06-06T15:11:00.000-07:00

Watch as a young mother tries to get her 2-year-old to make a choice. "You can have fish or chicken" she tells him. She limits his choice to just two because he's too young to understand beyond that. Choice often allows a wider variety of options, but it also allows a person to reject them.

Adam and Eve were in the best possible environment. God had given them freedom to eat of all the trees in Eden. He drew boundary lines around just one tree! They had a choice, and it should have been a no-brainer to choose wisely. But their choice was tragic.

Some hate God for what they see as His restrictions. They may even accuse Him of trying to 'control' their lives. But God gives us a choice, just as He did Adam and Eve.

Yes, God draws boundary lines, but they're for our protection. David understood this. He wrote, "You, through your commandments, make me stronger than my enemies ... I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word" (Ps. 119:98-101)

".... Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat ...." (Genesis 2:16-17)

God cares so much about us that He gives us boundary lines so that we'll choose what's right. His commandments were given to fulfill us, not frustrate us.

Walk The Walk

2009-06-02T10:05:00.000-07:00

From "Our Daily Bread" July 2009:

The preacher was speaking tongue-in-cheek when he complained, "My wife is absolutely unreasonable. She actually expects me to live every thing I preach!"

It's so much easier to tell someone what is right than to practice it personally.

I suppose this is what is meant when we refer to athletes who 'talk the talk, but don't walk the walk'. Anyone can talk a good game, but actually performing well is far more difficult.
This is particularly true in the challenge of following Jesus Christ. It's not enough for us to talk about faith-we must live out our faith... Perhaps that is why Paul, after giving instructions to his young protege Timothy about how to preach, included this reminder: "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in work, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity ... Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them" (1 Timothy 4:12,15) As Christs' followers, we do not have the luxury of just talking a good game - we must live lives of exemplary faith in Jesus Christ. We must walk the walk.

Live, Love, Chocolate

2009-06-01T09:36:00.000-07:00

An entry I read on a favorite blog caught my eye:

It was the morning of his ninth wedding anniversary. Not having a lot of money, the writer ran out to get his wife their favorite French pastry

-- pain au chocolat.

After sprinting several miles he arrived home, exhausted, to find her in the kitchen just pulling a chocolate-filled croissant out of the oven.

It was pain au chocolat.

That husband compared their lives with the people in O. Henry's short story; "Gift of the Magi". It tells of a man who sold his lone possession of value - a pocket watch - to buy hair combs for his wife, who had sold her long, beautiful hair to buy a gold chain for his watch.

Having no money concerns would be great - but realizing the immeasurable value of the people we care about is more important. We sometimes need a reminder that acquiring "things" is not near as important as appreciating the people God has placed in our lives. When we practice putting others' interests before our own (Phil 2:3-4), we learn what it means to love, serve, and sacrifice. In fact, that's how we patttern Christ in our relationships (Eph. 5:1-2).

Life, love, and chocolate taste better when shared with others.

Although my stories are in the 'first person' it doesn't always mean it's happened directly to me, they're true stories - with names and/or places changed for creative purpose or to protect someones identity.

Love is for losers?

2009-05-30T11:04:00.000-07:00

You can learn a lot about a person by what their t-shirt says. Recently, one of these messages caught my attention as I strolled through a local super market. A young woman wore a bright red t-shirt that read: "Love Is For Losers". Maybe she thought it was clever, or funny. Or perhaps she'd been hurt by a relationship and had pulled away from another rather than be hurt again. Either way, that t-shirt made me think.

Is love for losers? The fact is, when we love we take risks. People could very well hurt us, disappoint us, or even leave us. Love can lead to loss.

The Bible challenges us to a higher ground in loving others. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul describes what it means to live out God's kind of love. The person who exercises godly love doesn't do it for personal benefit or gain but bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (13:7). Why? Because godly love endures beyond life's hurts by pulling us relentlessly toward the never-diminishing care of the Father.

So, perhaps love is for losers - for it is in times of loss and disappointment that we need God the most. Even in our struggles we know that "Love Never Fails" God's love never fails.

My World Is Up-Side Down!

2009-05-23T14:15:00.001-07:00

Christ called his disciples to a radically new kind of life ~ one of total commitment to Him (Luke 14:26-33). Their life change is a showcase for how the committed heart can have a powerful impact. Of this, Billy Graham said: "The men who followed Christ were unique in their generation. They turned the world up-side down because their hearts had been turned right-side up. The world has never been the same" INSIGHT

"Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them: " .... If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters and yes, even his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it ~~ lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying 'this man began to build and was not able to finish' ..... "Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! .... "

A friend is the first person who comes in when the whole world has gone out - "Sherman"

John Chrysostom was one of the great preachers in the early church. He was given the Chrysostom, which means "golden-mouthed" because of his eloquent sermons. Here is one of his insights on the value of friends: "Such is friendship, that through it we love places and seasons; for as . . . flowers drop their sweet leaves on the ground around them , so friends impart favor even to the places where they dwell. With friends, even poverty is pleasant . . . It would be better for us that the sun were exhausted than that we should be without friends."

Jonathan loved David as he loved his own soul. - 1Samuel 20:17

The story of Jonathan and David illustrate the value of friendship. Though David was hunted by the demented King Saul, he drew encouragement from his friendship with Saul's son. Their relationship was characterized by trust, understanding and encouragement. How difficult it would have been for David to endure this unjust persecution without the nourishment of friendship based in the Lord.

The ancient voice of Crysostom and the witness of David and Jonathan are reminders of the need to nurture the friendships God has given us. ~ TalkerCat

2009-05-20T15:33:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite pastimes as a young girl

was walking the footpath

between our home and the school I attended.

Those walks were high adventure for me:

shiny rocks to find,

birds to watch, lizards and horn-back toads to capture.

And when I made it to the large school yard

my dog and I would sit in the cool grass to pick dandelions

and watch airplanes pass overhead.

I'd linger as long as I could; but only for so long,

because my mom wanted me home before dark.

The shadows grew long and the trail got dark fast in the Mojave Desert.

I'd be wishing along the way that I was already home.

Our house sat on a corner lot, vacant except for the occasional abandoned car -

but the light was always on

until all the family was in.

Often, mom would be waiting in the tiny kitchen.

"Have a good day?" she'd ask.

"It was pretty good" I'd say,

"but I'm sure glad to be home".

Those memories of walking the desert make me think of another journey -

the one I'm making now.

It isn't always easy, but I know at the end of it there's a caring Father

and my eternal home.

I can hardly wait to get there.

I'm expected, the light is on

and my heavenly Father is waiting for me.

Maybe He'll ask, just like my mother always did

"How was your day?"

"Pretty good" I'll say.

"But it sure is good to be home"

Yesterday, I lay in bed in private prayer and physically suffering from what I've dubbed "rain pain".
Just as those who suffer from RA, anytime rain rears it little wet head within a 5o-mile radius, my stump knows! And it knows days in advance ... the aching, vice-grip-like pain ~ so overwhelming it takes opiates to stake it at bay; no relief, really, I just get so stoned I don't care about the pain ---- except that it always leaves me in prayers with God.
Today, the sun is shining down bright and hot! I had morning coffee sitting in it's splendor and glory ~ it's warmth spreading itself through me, healing my bones ... taking away the neuropathic cold that had me shivering under piles of blankets only a few hours ago. Thank You Father God ~ for I know it's Your Hand covering and enveloping my aches ~ making them Your own, just as You promised.

A Friend To Lean On

2009-05-10T09:32:00.000-07:00

I've had dogs all my life: The ever loyal and brilliant Joe, a shepherd mix that walked us to and from school every day; Chipper, a terrier mix and Joe's hyper-companion; Blue, the blue-eyed momma shepherd, guarding home and hearth ~~ Then later, there was Pete, the quiet, loving Cocker Spaniel, Lucy a not-so-bright Shih Tzu Princess, and EthelMae, a tiny 5-lb toy poodle rescued from the dark streets of Burbank.

Despite their markedly different personalities, they had one thing in common: their exuberant display of happiness. Maybe I'd just come through the door after being gone for say, 37 minutes. Or I wondered out loud if I'd need a sweater to go outside. Sometimes the mere mention of food would do it. Perhaps I'd been gone a long time, and when I got home was treated like the prodigal son. You know the dog has done nothing but worry, and now that you're back all those worries are unleashed in a fit of delirium. And when his exertions are finally concluded, he'll just sit there and look at you in utter relief. Don't assume the dog is embarrassed by these out-bursts, that he might be thinking 'Look at what a fool I'm making of myself! or even 'Aren't I too old to act like this?' It doesn't cross his mind. A friend once remarked to me that she'd like to train her dog to stay put when she came through the door. Why would anyone want to train their dog to do that? It would be like training a flower not to bloom. TalkerCat

I forget sometimes how old I am. Probably because I never had kids. No babies to calendar my own longevity of life -- so now when I have a reason to know, it blows me away ~~ I'm old enough to have grandchildren ~ OMG!

Way back when I was a pre-teen Mother told me skin care is the best thing one could do to stay young "looking" so I began the regime I keep to this day. Why, oh why Lord, did I look in that mirror? I don't like mirrors (never have) but something made me and to my chagrin I have a deep wrinkle between my eyes - it's shaped like the Honda emblem.

Perpetually worried or p.o'ed is not 'young looking' .... Mother never told me there'd be days like this! How long has it been there? If I had to have a car emblem in the middle of my face, why Honda? Why not Jaguar? or Mercedes?

At least I'd look expensive.

Now, I've upped the ante in skin care. No more pre teen night creams ~~ they make for Honda faces. Now I have a deep wrinkle that will, hopefully, diminish and become the Leaping Cat I deserve.

A month ago I joined "Classmates" what a trip to find out "whatever happened to" ... Some I'm surprised by or disappointed in, Some are characters I'd be afraid of in a dark alley! Some live for the Lord, Most are close enough geographically to meet for lunch. All are in my prayers!
Not one of these new found 'friends' have been on the trip I've called life; the best of friends are those I've met since leaving high school; and can count the truest of the true on one hand. While childhood and high school led me across more paths than my adulthood has, they're superficial acquaintances that didn't impact my soul - what a shame - being that there are so many!

One might think a 30-year 'acquaintance' would somehow bring something to your life but they rarely do. That's why friends are the of greatest of God's gifts. John cautions us to love our friends and treat them as children of God. Great friends become family; guardian angels in disguise - always watching out for you. Great friends are those you don't hesitate to call whenever you need something and they feel blessed to help! They are at the top of your own list of blessings. Great friends are rare jewels in life -- difficult to find and impossible to replace.

Hello from TalkerCat

2009-05-05T12:27:00.000-07:00

The Lord found me in intensive care where doctors doubted my survival. After 2 weeks I was released to the main hospital where I learned to walk again, with one leg. It's been seven years and I now live for the Lord. My only regret is it took a near tragedy to bring me to Him - I wish I'd lived with Him all along. But like I'm now famous for saying "I would rather worship Him from a wheelchair, than have two legs and not know him at all"

My first blog was created at Christians Unite; I was there for 2 years. I became well known in that community while my Christian brothers helped me in my 'baby steps' of Christianity. They watched me grow and now I take full grown steps - on the narrow path to Heaven. This blog, like that one, is my step by step walk with God. How my prayers are answered. How I see the blessings in everyday occurrences. Perspectives on the Bible (no debates! IMHO!). Follow me if you will - while I follow the Will of God. Perhaps we can learn together; feel free to leave comments (naughty posts will be deleted .... )
