Christmas Family Reunion
by Rhonda Barrett ~ Each year during the holidays Gary and I share our children and grandchildren with the in-laws alternating between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last year we celebrated Christmas during Christmas, and this year we celebrated Christmas during Thanksgiving. However… This year we did something that we had never done before–We had a Thanksgiving...
Holidays and Holy Days
I woke up, made me a cup of coffee, and sat down in my “prayer chair”. I decided today in my quiet time that it would be all about Jesus. I wasn’t going to ask Him for anything. I was just going to thank Him, praise Him, and worship Him. I planned to be still...
My heart and soul cry out, “Life is short!”
It is very hard for me to believe–this month I turn 60! It seems in the blink of an eye I was 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years old. It seems like yesterday I started first grade, attended my first prom, graduated from high school, met my husband, got married, had children, they got married and...
I thank God for my Auntie Bootie
by Rhonda Barrett ~ I thank God for my Auntie Bootie. God miraculously saved her out of a life of alcohol and prostitution (she was like the Samaritan woman Jesus met at the well, John Chapter 4). My Mom told me stories about Auntie Bootie and the new person she became through Jesus Christ. I met...
Still Not Easy
Most days, even after all these years, it’s still NOT EASY for me to make the time to have a “quiet time”. In the morning when my alarm clock goes off I want to hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. After all these years it’s still NOT EASY to open my Bible...
Good difference or God Difference?
God has a plan for our children’s lives. Our children are divinely created by Almighty God to make a God Difference–more than a good difference–a GOD Difference in the world. God has entrusted our children into our care, and it is an awesome responsibility. Psalm 127:4 is very interesting; it reads, “Children are like arrows in...
WOW-LOVE!
by Rhonda Barrett ~ God REALLY loves you and me! God REALLY loves our children! God’s Word is His Love Letter to you and me. From beginning to end, from Genesis to Revelation, page after page, story after story God’s Word is all about His LOVE. Recently, I was reading in Genesis, Chapters 1-3. The Chapter...
Pray and Play
by Rhonda Barrett ~ May is always a month of reflection for me because of Mother’s Day. It’s a SADSWEET time for me–SAD because my Mother is not here to celebrate and SWEET because one of my greatest joys is being a Mom (and, of course, a Grandma!). My Mom died at the age of...
Our Grandchildren-Beaux & Bella!
It’s been an exciting week! First of all, Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013 our son Rex baptized his son, Beaux, at Frontline Church in Downtown Oklahoma City. Dozens of other people were baptized at Frontline on Easter as well. Fast forward the video to 5 minutes and 25 seconds and watch Rex baptize Beaux. Then...
In my heart, I Heard Him
by Rhonda Barrett ~ “Good Morning Jesus,” I said. I heard Him whisper to my heart, “Rhonda, I have something special planned for you today.” I sat in my “Prayer Corner” and looked at the stack next to me. The stack includes my Bible Prayer journal Spiritual journey journal “Precious in HIS Sight” Parent’s Prayer...
