Feeling lucky?



Everywhere I’ve been reading, I’m seeing the word ‘luck.’  What does it really mean?   Is it a Christian word?  Does it matter?

·       Potlucks
·       You must be lucky
·       Today is your lucky day
·       Good luck with –
·       I’ve just got rotten luck
·       The luck of the draw
·       Such a lucky dog could have been worse
·       He considered himself lucky
·       Who’s the lucky guy
·       Luck of the Irish

Any other ones?

noun: luck  1. success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.
synonyms:

success, prosperity, good fortune, good luck
antonyms:
failure, misfortune




o  chance considered as a force that causes good or bad things to happen.
o  something regarded as bringing about or portending good or bad things.

What the Lord says about this:  “I bless My people.  It is not luck.  However, saying, ‘potbless’ instead of ‘potluck’ does sound weird.   Do not fuss over the word.  Just acknowledge Me in all things.  If someone says, ‘You are so lucky!’  You may respond with, ‘You can say that, but what I really am is BLESSED!”

Does this make sense?
How do you feel about the word, ‘potbless’?

Two Perspectives

Two Perspectives:  The Lord said:  “ONE:   Look up at Me with confidence that all will turn out well or TWO:   fussing and worrying and fretting.   You chose.   Many people don’t know there is another alternative to the worry and fretting perspective… and where does that leave them?   What kind of life do they have?   TRUST Me!” Which one do you do the most? Is it easy or difficult for you to choose #1? ~~ “This Really Happened” at books2read.com/u/mZ5ALy and “REAL Conversations with God” at www.books2read.com/u/mgLPqx (You might also enjoy checking out Elisabella’s Books on Facebook, there’s been a change-up.)

Fun with Jesus - Gingerbread House

Fun with Jesus – Gingerbread House     Jesus was playing Peek-a-Boo with me in a Gingerbread house.     I’m outside watching Jesus peek at me through a window then disappear only to poke His head out through a different window.   Jesus flew up the chimney, quickly opened a door, looked out at me then closed it.   Jesus:   Come on inside. [Inside is adorable.   Gingerbread-ish.]   Jesus:   Come on.   We flew up to the 2 nd story loft and looked down. Me:   This is… unusual. Jesus:   [laughed] Me:   I like it. Jesus:   So do I.   Jesus goes into the kitchen, opens the oven and pulls out a cookie sheet with gingerbread cookies on it. Jesus:   Would you like one? Me: Yes, but aren’t they hot? Jesus:   Blow on it. Me:   [I blew, instantly cooled.   I took a bite.]    Delicious; crunchy, soft, chewy, spicy. Jesus:   Glad you like i...

Flowers

I read, ‘It’s (flowers) as if a rainbow touches the earth.’ The Lord interrupted my reading to ask, “Why do you think I made flowers?” Me:  So the saying, ‘stop and smell the flowers’ is true? God:  {sensed Him smiling}   I made them to be enjoyed ALL of them, even the stinkier ones and the ones some consider ugly.  They ALL have a purpose.  Remember ‘the Language of Flowers’?  Notice that most of the language is of love and happiness. Then He handed me a bouquet of flowers. Taken from Wikipedia:  The significance assigned to specific flowers in Western culture varied — nearly every flower had multiple associations, listed in the hundreds of floral dictionaries — but a consensus of meaning for common blooms has emerged. Often, definitions derive from the appearance or behavior of the plant itself. For example, the mimosa , or sensitive plant, represents chastity. This is because the leaves of the mimosa clo...
