Bibby’s Blessings:April 13, 2016 My beloved ones! My heart is so incredibly full knowing that EACH of you now knows what it is to love a child of your own! That I have lived to see this day is one of the greatest blessings God will ever give me!(“May you live to see your children’s children.”) Ps.128:6 As I sit here praying for you as you all have entered this journey, I want to tell you one very, very simple…
“For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as…
Crazy!! A whole year has passed since I heard my Mother’s sweet, sweet voice. It was April 14, 2013. Mama had been admiring a big faced watch that I wore, so I had gone and bought her one just like mine. I had picked up a few other things to take to her and headed over to Wills Creek Village where she lived out her twilight years.When I went in her room that day, she was sitting on her sofa…
I need my Mama today! I need her tender understanding and I’m so longing for her wisdom! If I could have her precious self back for just a little while, there is no doubt in my mind what I would do! I would sit at her feet and ask her SO many questions and glean every ounce of wisdom I might have missed from her 83 years of life! This is the one thing that I wish I’d done more…
Oh Lord my God, my partner in Pain, You are not my Partner only to come to my rescue and deliver me out of all suffering. No sir! You have never said, “No stretching HER, no wrenching or twisting of HER heart, no agony of HER spirit or HER body. But ahhh, yes! When the covenant promises find their end result, the inheritance will be ALL mine; a life with no more sorrows, no more wrenching pain, a body raised…
As a new grandmother, I have been deeply pondering just what I desire to help instill in my posterity. I see it as such a high and holy calling to have the privilege of praying for my grandchild’s life and future. As I have pondered specific things to pray for her, I have made a list. On my list is that I and her mommie and all other women who will be influential in her life would demonstrate what it…

April 16, 2013: The last day that Mama would take a breath of earthly air on her own. Lord, It seems to me as if we live just a few minutes….We make our mark for good or ill….we mark off the years and the days one by one…and then….. there just aren’t any more. Just…..STOP. THE END. LAST DAY. THAT’S ALL. Incredibly sobering!!!! I can’t describe in words the feeling I get when I look at this precious calendar, my…
You warned me, You told me, You knew what I would do. My mind was confused, afraid, and even angry with You too. After all, You’re GOD, aren’t You? I thought we’d nailed that one thing down. But here You are..You don’t look like God, Being led to trial all bound! I stepped in there and tried to help You out, I mean, I didn’t want to look like a fool! I wanted to show them, I knew You were…
Master, As I sit at your feet this morning, I am broken. One of the greatest blessings you ever gave to my life just slipped through my fingers, and no matter how I want it back, it is gone. I feel such a hole in my heart, a vacancy with a sign over it, “Unable to be filled.” I cannot relive what was. The years, the days, the moments left me with memories but the substance lies buried beneath the…
