Faith & Favor

April 7, 2026

~ FAITH ~

F

Faith is substance, not shadow

A

A daily decision to believe in and trust the True but unseen God

I

Is overseeing my life, working Good behind

T

The scenes and in surrounding situations

H

He’s Always been Present, is In the Here & Now, & will Be my Future~

He is for me, not against me ~

♥♥♥

~ FAVOR ~

F

Favor of God shows up in mini- & maxi- miracles:

A

A day that’s going south, until He turns it around

V

Visits unexpected, His hands hold “just what I wanted” gift

O

Or He speaks word of confirmation I desperately need…HIS

R

REALITY is defined differently (much better) than mine ~

*†*

Faith might be quiet, or fierce, but it’s my way

to walk the journey, and to fight Life’s battles ~

God rewards our faith (with His favor)♥

~ Cale

Amplified Bible
But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Mark 11:22-24
“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them. / “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him. / Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Berean Standard Bible

Consider This…

February 1, 2026

“Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love.

No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.”
― Reinhold Niebuhr, The Irony of American History

My Word For the Year

January 30, 2026

Each year my best friend paints/decorates rocks with a word, phrase or Bible verse–whatever we’ve chosen for ourselves or received during prayer.  I call them “altar rocks”, because men in the Old Testament–like Abraham and Isaac–would set stones as memorials of momentous points in their pilgrimages with God.

A large wicker bowl is filled with the ones she’s made for me–testimony of my faith journey, and our long-distance friendship which has grown and meshed through 15 years of blogging, emails, occasional texts, lots of cards and gifts, a rare phone call–but we’ve never met in person.  She’s God’s gift, the dearest sister.

In His divine compassion and great love, the Lord matched us up and tied a cord around our hearts, connected to His. 

We are 2 Sisters/1 Heart💝✝💝

~ Cale

King James Bible
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.  Ecclesiastes 4:12

My collection of altar rocks is much bigger than when this photo was taken, they fill the entire red basket beneath the wicker heart💝
